The shade will be immortalized on record.
When the song released, Princess Nokia shared a video of herself listening to it and noting similarities between it and her own song, “Mine”. “Do that sound familiar to you? Cause that sound really familiar to me. Oh my god,” she said, feigning amazement at the coincidence. Despite all these accusations, “7 Rings” went on to spend eight weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
Today, Grande released the live album from her “Sweetener Tour” that she has been teasing for weeks, titled k bye for now. Of course, a live recording of “7 Rings” is on there and people detected that she may have started of the concert performance with some shade directed at Princess Nokia. At the outset of the track, Grande is heard asking the crowd: “Sounds familiar, huh? Dublin, does that sound familiar? Do y’all know this song?”
Fans think Ariana Grande shaded Princess Nokia on her live album after she accused her of copying one of her unknown songs when “7 rings” dropped earlier this year. https://t.co/Pwx5rwot0G
