Hip-hop superstar Cardi B dropped her new single “Up” on Friday, and in just a few hours the video had over six million views on her YouTube channel. However, accusations have surfaced that the platinum-selling artist stole parts of her song from another rapper.
Cardi B’s Single ‘Up’ Sounds A Lot Like…
New Jersey rapper Mir Pesos has a song called “Stuck” that basically has the same hook and similar sound to Cardi B’s new single “Up.” The Mir Pesos song came out last September and he believes the Grammy winner copied him.

Did Cardi B Steal Elements Of Her Song?
It’s tough to prove blatant artistic theft in the music industry. A lot of people are involved in creating a mainstream hit song; it’s possible that before today, Cardi herself had never heard of Mir Pesos, an independent MC with a small following compared to Cardi B’s millions of fans. For her part, Cardi B seems more worried about “Up” having some issues with iTunes and hasn’t addressed any claims of stealing.

“I really wanted to put out an album last year, but it was like, ‘I feel like I don’t have the right songs’. I have recorded so many songs. I think I’ve got like 50 songs recorded, and I’m just still not satisfied. If I’m not satisfied, I’m just not satisfied, but I really want to put out an album this year. I feel like I have no choice now. Now, I feel like I exceeded my limit of holding. I just need to stop with the fear.”
