Plies’ Lawyer Maintains His Lawsuit Against Megan Thee Stallion Is Just Business, Says They’ve Worked For Months Trying To Resolve The Matter
Update #1: Plies filed a lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, Cardi B, and Soulja Boy, alleging they infringed on his 2008 song “Me & My Goons.” His attorney, Walter Mosley, insists the timing after the election is just a coincidence.
LilJuMadeDaBeat, producer for Megan’s “Wanna Be,” defended the sampling, claiming it was done correctly.

There are also claims that Plies’ track borrowed from Lil Wil’s “My Dougie.” Musicologists confirmed the original sample came from Plies, so the lawsuit is active unless a settlement occurs.
Walter noted that Plies had a prior agreement with Soulja Boy that has now complicated matters, especially with Megan’s hit. When speaking with TMZ, he confirmed that Plies is supportive of Black women.
“This lawsuit is not a strategically timed attack against Black women,” Walter shared, adding that the lawsuit targets Universal Music Group more than the artists mentioned.
Original Story: What do rappers GloRilla, Cardi B, Soulja Boy and Megan Thee Stallion have in common…they’re all being sued by Plies over the same song.
The legal battle centers around Plies’ 2008 track “Me & My Goons.” Documents obtained by TMZ show that this morning (Nov. 6) Plies filed a lawsuit against his fellow rappers for copyright infringement. According to Plies, Soulja Boy first stole his beat back in 2010 for his highly popular “Pretty Boy Swag” record.
Fast forward years later to 2024, and Plies says that Megan and Glo also used his infrared countdown beat for their joint hit “Wanna Be,” which dropped over the summer.
And if you’ve been keeping up with the female rap game, you’re aware that Cardi jumped on the remix, which is why she’s also named in the suit.
In addition to the artists, Megan’s Hot Girl Productions, Soulja Boy’s former imprint Collipark Productions, and record labels Universal Music Group, Collective Music Group and Interscope are listed as defendants.
