Cardi B Accused of Plagiarizing "Clout" and "Thotiana (Remix)"
Cardi B has been accused of stealing lyrics for a couple of records she’s featured on, but she’s pulling out receipts to defend herself against these claims.
Cardi exchanged words with a rapper named Dela Wesst, who is also well-known on TikTok, early Tuesday morning (June 30) after Wesst accused her of plagiarizing lyrics for her verses on “Clout” and Blueface’s “Thotiana (Remix).”
Wesst uploaded a video response to a tweet Cardi supposedly deleted, which partially said, “I never wanted to give this girl attention…I don’t like it’s when people try that shit with a pic of my kid.” In Wesst’s clip, she says that Cardi is trying to evade the fact that she stole her lyrics. She then accused the Bronx, N.Y. native of using the “child card” by unnecessarily mentioning her 1-year-old daughter Kulture in the tweet.
Less than an hour later, Cardi replied to Wesst’s claims. “First of all you weird ass bitch u been trying me for hot minute,” she wrote. “You really cross the line when u stalkin my fans page and put this shit on a pic of me & my kid .SO YES THATS I’m bringing my kid.” The platinum-selling artist’s tweet included Wesst’s allegations against her and the photo of her daughter that she was referring to in her prior response.
Shortly after, Cardi began to pull out receipts, detailing when she wrote her verse for “Clout,” proving that she didn’t steal the lyrics.
“Second of all you dumb bitch you ranting for day cause you claim I stole lyrics from you on clout,” the Invasion of Privacy artist wrote, including a short video of the program used to edit her vocals on the record. “I WROTE THIS SONG IN JANUARRYYY ! You show me you did your clout song in January bitch you might have a chance.I rhyme clout with Oscar the grouch bitch is not farfech it RHYMES!”
After asking Wesst to end the accusations against her, Cardi addressed the rapper’s claims that she stole the lyrics for her verse on “Thotiana (Remix).” “Then you claim I stole thotiana from you when you put your freestyle one day after WACK ANNOUNCE I’m on the remix of a song I been record it that I WROTE and RECORD IT infront of blue face & Wack,” she said.
Wesst, however, quipped back saying just because Cardi wrote the song in January doesn’t mean she finished the song at that time. “Starting a record in January does not mean you finished that record in January,” Wesst said. “I clearly wrote this the day before you debuted it the internet. I didn’t hear the section of the song THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT. I am also not hearing by any ‘CLOUTS’ in the verse.”
Unfazed by Wesst’s comeback, Cardi replied, “jUsT cAUsE yOu sTArTED the song iN jAnUARy don’t mean you finished it THEN WTF IS THIS THEN BITCH!”
Wesst continues, explaining that she said Cardi B’s lyrics for “Clout” were almost identical to a freestyle Wesst did on the “Thotiana” beat.
With the back-and-forth almost coming to an end, Cardi responded, saying, “You posted your lyrics on the other post it said February 6 my lyrics are from January 9th. Goodbye sweety your DISTURB. Clout chase from somebody else. CLOWN now go do a video about THAT!”
Cardi ended the Twitter exchange calling it “fun” and saying that she’ll be taking a break from the social media site for a few days.
On a positive note, Cardi announced last month that she has some new music coming soon.

Boosie Badazz Responds to Kewon White’s Claims About Dallas Shooting
Boosie Badazz is responding after Kewon White, the man recently convicted of killing Mo3, spoke about the 2020 shooting involving the Louisiana rapper and said he had multiple chances to kill him. Speaking from jail during an interview with Cam Capone News, White talked about his problems with Boosie’s behavior on a trip to Dallas after Mo3’s death. White told the rapper he shot at Boosie about 10 times but wasn’t trying to kill him. He claimed he had three opportunities to kill the rapper.
Boosie was shot in the leg in Dallas on November 14, 2020, days after Mo3 was killed and one day after Boosie attended a vigil for his late collaborator. Boosie has taken note of the new comments in part because White is currently appealing his murder conviction. Boosie also questioned why White would go public with information about the shooting while appealing his case.
In a reply on social media, Boosie wondered why White would do that, believing the jailhouse interviews might cause more problems for the convicted killer. He also objected to the decision to explore the particulars of Mo3’s death while trying to appeal the conviction. White was convicted this month of capital murder for shooting Mo3, whose real name was Melvin Noble, on a Dallas highway in 2020. White has filed a notice of appeal since.

So the timing of White’s comments has become a central part of Boosie’s reaction. Boosie didn’t address White’s allegations regarding the 2020 shooting but did ask why someone challenging a murder conviction would even talk about case details in public interviews.
The case has also included allegations against Yella Beezy. During White’s trial, prosecutors said Beezy paid White to kill Mo3. White has denied receiving any payment from Beezy, and Beezy has denied any involvement in the alleged murder plot.
White’s conviction and subsequent appeal have kept the case in the public conversation, and his recent jail interview added another chapter. His remarks on Boosie also address a violent period following Mo3’s death, during which Boosie traveled to Dallas and was shot. For Boosie, the problem is bigger than what happened in 2020. White’s choice to discuss the shooting while seeking an appeal has caused him to publicly question the strategy behind the interviews and the timing of the disclosures.

DJ Vlad Challenges Boosie Badazz Over Federal Gun Case
DJ Vlad is taking his beef with Boosie Badazz to the next level, asking whether the rapper’s behavior in his federal gun case matches the anti snitching code he’s long imposed on others in hip hop.
In a new clip for VladTV, Vlad looked back at Boosie’s federal gun case and pointed to court documents he says show the rapper from Baton Rouge shifting blame onto his security guard. Vlad said the paperwork runs counter to Boosie’s long track record of publicly denouncing rappers he believes are snitching to authorities.
The latest row is another sign of an already frayed relationship. Boosie has been one of VladTV’s most frequent interview guests. Still, their relationship has soured over the years over issues involving interview payments, business dealings, and, most recently, Boosie’s push for a presidential pardon.
The pardon controversy has become a major part of the ongoing public beef between the rappers. Boosie reportedly paid $600,000 to two lobbyists, Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl, to lobby President Donald Trump for a pardon in his federal gun case. When the pardon didn’t come through, Boosie accused them of misleading him and demanded $300,000 back. Burkman and Wohl have denied scamming Boosie, saying they were hired to advocate for him, not to promise a pardon.

Boosie went on 60 Minutes to discuss the issue, which brought more attention to the situation. He later complained about how the interview was portrayed and released purported messages involving the lobbyists while defending himself against claims his actions were snitching.
Vlad is now using the controversy to call Boosie out on a principle that has been a major talking point in the rapper’s public commentary. Vlad mentioned Boosie’s situation as part of other past hip-hop discussions he’s had with Gunna, Young Thug, T.I., and Gucci Mane.
“The court documents for Boosie’s federal gun case are another point of contention for Vlad. His case hinges on whether the rapper’s alleged remarks about his security guard should be measured by the same yardstick Boosie has used to measure other artists. The charge is particularly noteworthy as Boosie has cultivated a strong public persona against what he considers snitching. With that history, the latest exchange with Vlad is more personal, adding to a complicated fallout between the two.
