Is Ariana Grande’s new single, “7 Rings,” plagiarized? After the track was released this week along with a video, Princess Nokia shared a video that showed her listening to Ariana’s song before cuing up “Mine,” from her “1992” mixtape. “Does that sound familiar to you? ‘Cause that sound really familiar to me,” she says in the post. “Ain’t that the lil song I made about brown women and their hair? Hmmm… sounds about white.” Pitchfork points out Princess Nokia’s not the only one who hears the similarity. “[Ariana Grande]’s new album literally plagiarizes flows, words, bars from Nokia,” read a post Nokia retweeted. Nokia’s reps declined to comment on the allegation when contacted by Pitchfork. As of early Friday, Ariana’s team had not yet commented.
