Plies’ lawyer denies lawsuit targets Black women
On November 6, Plies will file a lawsuit against some of the biggest names in the industry for allegedly sampling his songs without permission. Names like Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, and Soulja Boy are mentioned in the copyright infringement lawsuit.
However, most of the attention focused on Megan and GloRilla whose fans have taken to Instagram comment sections to shade Plies for what they deem possible attacks against Black women.
The backlash has been so fierce that one of his lawyers, Aaron J. Thornton, found himself having to release a statement. According to him, though, Plies does not have any personal anger towards Megan, GloRilla or even any other parties involved in this lawsuit but is only seeking out compensation from these labels due to what he feels is improper procedure.
“This lawsuit isn’t a strategically timed attack against Black women,” Thornton stated. “Plies has said a lot of meaningful and important things in support of Black women.”
