“Ariana just found herself in a place where music can’t be truly original when a music style limits an artist to the constraints of beats and rhythm.” To Varela, the new beat is what “made tune in” to Grande’s new song in the first place. While some listeners agree that “7 Rings” sounds very similar to Princess Nokia’s song, others are adamant that Ariana Grande did not appropriate these lyrics or musical style, since “Princess Nokia did not invent the trap beat,” says Daniel Angel Varela ‘22.
The response to this accusation has been mixed. Soon after Grande released her new single, Princess Nokia - a Latina rapper gaining popularity - posted a video on her Instagram story implying that Grande had stolen her lyrics and flow as she played “7 Rings.” Nokia wrote, “Does that sound familiar to you?” She goes on to say “Ain’t that the little song I made about brown women and their hair? Hmm… sounds about white.” Her accusation is loaded - not only does she imply that Ariana Grande’s new song copied her song “Mine,” off her 2017 album “1992 Deluxe,” but also implies that Grande’s use of the lyrics around buying hair appropriates the experience of Black and Brown women in America. Among the accomplishments and success, though, came controversy. 1 songs on the Hot 100 from the same album, along with other accomplishments. Ariana Grande’s latest single “7 Rings” ranked her alongside pop stars Britney Spears and Mariah Carey as the only female artists to have multiple No.
