Yesterday the hit machine Cardi B returned with her solo single “Up”,as expected the raunchy track and music video is dominating on charts already. Right after the release of song New Jersey based rapper Mir Fontane has accused Cardi B with claims that she stole hook from his last year’s song.
On her latest single UP’s hook Cardi raps “If it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s stuck”, meanwhile on his September 2020 track titled “Stuck” ,Mir Fontane rapped “If it’s up then it’s stuck,Up then it’s stuck, yeah”.
Since the huge difference between release of both songs it might be easy to think Mir has got a strong point here but no it gets much more complex than that cause Cardi B first previewed snippet of “UP” a month ago of Mir’s single release. After Cardi’s response Mir noted he had previewed his song “Stuck” before Cardi did.
We previewed “STUCK” on August 6th at the end of this video and recorded it even earlier than that, Respectfully. https://t.co/YSB15NjyYo https://t.co/HvPpod7AbJ
