"PILES YOU BROKE!"
Soulja Boy speaks out on being sued by PILES.
Plies' lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles federal court and seeks damages, attorneys' fees, and court costs. The lawsuit claims that the defendants knew they were infringing on Plies' copyright and didn't take action to resolve the issue. Plies claims that the 2024 summer smash"Wanna Be" by Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla samples his 2008 song "Me & My Goons" without permission."Wanna Be" was remixed to include Cardi B. Making it one of the hottest tracks of the summer!
Megan Thee Stallion. Cardi B and GloRilla on set of WannaBe.Plies also claims that Soulja Boy's 2010 song Pretty Boy Swag" illegally samples "Me & My Goons". The suit also names Meg's Hot Girl Productions, Soulja's former imprint Collipark Productions, and record labels Universal Music Group, Collective Music Group and Interscope as defendants. There's since been a new challenger approaching the conversation. Megan's "Wanna Be" producer LilJuMadeDaBeat lashed out at the lawsuit, claiming his squad sampled Soujla Boy fair and square!
Legal documents filed by Plies, claims his 2008 track "Me & My Goons" first got jacked by Soulja Boy in 2010 on his "Pretty Boy Swag" anthem. And while the Beats are almost identical. Solja Boy claims they're “All original!”
In a recently recorded video he realized on youtube. Soulja Boy had some words for Piles'. “Sit your broke a** down. Pretty boy swag, is not your beat! So you wanna wait ten years to try to sue a n*gga for some beats? That is NOT YOUR beat. Crazy man.” He continues. “You need to change your name to lies. Because that's not your MF beat! You should've just said ‘Hey, Bro, I'm broke. Let me hold something.’ That beat is all original music. You only can sue somebody if they sample your song and don't get it cleared and that's not a sample bro!”
Soljaboy was NOT having it. While all of the beats on these songs sound similar if not identical. They forget to CREDIT the ORGINAL owner of the beat. Does Piles have amnesia or something because Plies got his goon ‘juice’ from Lil Wil's club classic "My Dougie”. My Dougie was released December 25, 2007 on Unauthorized Entertainment. Piles released his cd with the track on it in December of 08.
Maybe thats why they all sampled the same beat and didnt clear it with him? It was never his to begin with! If the suit is successful, the damages could cost everyone plenty of cash. But Crazy Man Piles should just stop now. He looks desperate and as Solja Boy TELL EM said…Broke.
Piles hasnt done much in the past year. Hes put out a few new tracks. Makes club appearances and goes on the tours where you see millennials trying to shake what they once had to Piles, T-pain and the Ying Yang twins.
Walter (Piles attorney) suggests Plies had a good faith agreement with Solja Boy that's since run its course. With Megan using the track to create a hit record of her own with the Hotties; it just complicated matters further.
Although Me and my Goons was the first track of Piles 3 studio album. Piles didn't even release the song as a single. So why does he really care? Especially if the beat isn't even his! Do you think everyone can settle out or court or do we think Piles really is THAT broke?
