Fans Get Into Tense Argument Over Ciara Reportedly Clearing A Sample For Megan Thee Stallion And Not Stunna Girl

by

At the top of 2024, rapper Stunna Girl put out a song with YG called “Stand Up.” The track sampled R&B stalwart Ciara’s iconic hit “Goodies.” However, it didn’t take long for the singer’s team to take action. She was asked to remove the track from YouTube due to copyright infringement. The single does remain on her DSP accounts, but it’s safe to say that Stunna Girl was incredibly frustrated over the whole debacle. “I literally hate when producers use samples. These artists be actin’ like they made the beat it’s so many people that used that beat but @ciara team writing me saying she personally contacted them about me.”

Fans clapped back at her for putting CiCi and her team on blast saying that she doesn’t know the correct protocol for clearing things. After that spat in January, things have remained dormant, at least until this past weekend. Megan Thee Stallion used the exact Ciara sample on the MEGAN: ACT II cut with Flo Milli “Roc Steady.” However, there are reports out there that she cleared “Goodies” for the Houston act and not Stunna Girl.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

This sparked a pretty intense debate amongst fans of all three artists in The Neighborhood Talk‘s IG comment section. Some are staunchly defending Ciara’s reported decision with them saying she’s allowed to give the OK to whoever she wants. Others feel that it had to do with who was going to bring in the most revenue for CiCi. Given that Megan is globally more popular than Stunna Girl, they feel it was a no-brainer. Furthermore, there’s people theorizing that Ciara likes what Meg represents compared to the Cali talent. Finally, others claimed that Stunna’s track was too horrific for her to use the record.

What are your thoughts on fans arguing over Megan Thee Stallion reportedly getting the OK to use a Ciara sample that Stunna Girl wasn’t allowed to use? Do you think the former handled things the right way with the R&B act’ and her team? Or do you think CiCi is playing favorites? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Megan Thee Stallion, Ciara, and Stunna Girl.

Ciara Reveals Her “Goodies” Single Almost Went to Brittney Spears

Ciara’s “Goodies” would have been a Brittney Spears banger in an alternative universe. Appearing on the Kelly Clarkson show, Ciara revealed the song was trying to be spun to the pop star.

“I learned about this later, but they were trying to give my song to Britney Spears,” Ciara said. “I know Britney wasn’t the one trying to take my song, because I love Britney.”

Just last week, Ciara has released her latest single, “Wassup,” featuring GRAMMY-nominated rapper Busta Rhymes, via her very own label, Beauty Marks Entertainment. Written by Ciara, Busta Rhymes, and Courtlin Jabrae and produced by J.R. Rotem, the energetic record taps into Ciara’s ATL roots with a current-day Y2K sound.

“’Wassup’ is a fun flex record. It started with a play on words on what we would say when I came up in ATL. “What’s up, what’s happenin?” It’s somewhat of a Y2K moment. I’m tapping into my ATL roots! It’s a song that’s meant for you to have the ultimate fun,” says Ciara. “Busta ‘slaughtered’ the track with his classic, undeniable, and unstoppable flow. He brought pure edge and the perfect energy to the record to take it all the way to a special place!”

Busta Rhymes remarks, “Y’all are in trouble because The Queen CiCi and The Dragon got a Banger!! That’s Wassup!!”

Busta and Ciara reunited on the road this summer for the critically acclaimed OUT OF THIS WORLD Tour alongside Missy Elliott. The tour left both fans and critics raving, Variety praised “Ciara was all sweat and allure,” while Atlanta Journal Constitution lauded, “[Ciara] captivated the crowd with her sultry dance moves and signature soprano.”

Additionally, today celebrates the 20th anniversary of Ciara’s 4x platinum debut album Goodies. A limited edition hot pink colored vinyl, which includes the original album and two bonus tracks, “Crazy” and “Represent Me,” is available now.

Ciara & Busta Rhymes Stunt On The Haters With “Wassup”

by

Ciara seems to be on her more hip-hop centric vibes lately because this new Busta Rhymes collab, “Wassup”, is definitely keeping that theme going. Just last month, the Texas born R&B icon put out “Run It Up” with BossMan Dlow in a surprising turn of events. Overall, this team up was a shocker just purely based on their respective sounds alone. But we have to give it its due for not being as much of a mess as it sounds on paper. Thankfully, Ciara is putting her better foot forward on “Wassup”.

She sounds much more at home on this club-friendly instrumental. Speaking of that, it seems like CiCi is aiming for that sort of vibe on her next record. Nothing is confirmed yet, nor has it been announced. But given how little time there is in between tracks, there’s a good chance we get that reveal sooner than later. For Ciara and Busta, this is just their second time being on a song, with their last link-up being on Janet Jackson’s “Feedback (So So Def Remix)” in 2008. “Wassup” is a pretty standard flex anthem, with Mr. Rhymes bringing his signature speedy flow and Ciara sounding like Nicki Minaj at points in her vocal delivery. Overall, it’s a solid effort that should get some decent play at nightclubs across the country.

“Wassup” – Ciara & Busta Rhymes

Quotable Lyrics:

Bust’ Rhymes is here a little, n**** (Cock, aim)
Bust your cannon if you like (If you like, woo)
Put your drink up in the air, you know we celebratin’ life (Celebratin’ life, yeah)
Could give a f*** about the hate ’cause we ain’t dealin’ with the strife
‘Cause we livin’, n****, everybody go and get a bottle if you want
See, we done bought the bar, don’t worry ’bout the price (That’s right)

Latto Gives Fans What They Want On “Sugar Honey Iced Tea” Album

by

Latto knows what works. She’s at her best when making brash pop-rap. It’s what led to her break out with “Big Energy” in 2021, and shot her back up the charts in 2023 with “Put It on da Floor Again.” it’s a formula that works, and the rapper wisely decided not to tinker when it came to her brand new album. Sugar Honey Ice Tea is every bit the smooth musical ride fans want. Latto is talking trash to her haters, and flexing her skills over sugary instrumentals. It’s a little long in terms of runtime, but taken as songs, there’s a lot of good material on here. The singles sound especially good in the context of the album.

The aforementioned “Put It on da Floor Again” and “Sunday Service (Remix)” still ring off thanks to standout guest features. It’s the other collabs, though, that make the album such a pleasant surprise. Latto and Megan Thee Stallion flash killer chemistry on the song “Squeeze,” which is about exactly what you think it is. Mariah the Scientist and Ciara allow the rapper to showcase different sides and sounds, and they mostly go over well. The Ciara track, “Good 2 You,” feels like a conscious throwback to Ciara’s debut album, which Latto has cited as a musical influence. Young Nudy is a bit out of place on the song “Shrimps & Grits,” but Latto’s performance and the wavy beat help to keep it together. To Latto’s credit, she also does a solid job of holding down solo songs like “Brokey.” A successful project in our book.

Cardi B Surprised Her Daughter Kulture is Already a Six-Year Old: 'Like How?'

Can you believe Cardi B is the mother of a six-year-old? Yeah, she can’t either. Baby Kulture is not a baby anymore.

Hitting X, Cardi celebrated her firstborn’s birthday, “My baby really six…..Like how?”

If you were looking for Cardi B’s album this summer, stop looking. Cardi announced her 2024 plans and new music is not part of them.

Interacting with fans online, Cardi revealed she agreed with a fan who stated she should pull back from social media platforms due to feeling “unappreciated” for online interactions.

Then she dropped the reveal: “Anyway NO album this year I don’t care I’m relaxing this year .. Dropping these features I already committed to and traveling and enjoying my summer.”

Just as a note, Invasion of Privacy dropped in 2018. You can see Cardi’s messages below courtesy of Hip-HopDX.
