Nobody really knows what prompted the Florida rapper to come for the hottest female rappers in the game, but no one’s neck was left unchecked. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Plies has filed copyright infringement lawsuits today (November 6) against Megan, Glo and Cardi for their unauthorized use of his 2008 “Me & My Goons” track. Big Draco also felt the wrath too, for his unauthorized use of the same track on his Soulja Boy anthem “Pretty Boy Swag”.
Megan and GloRilla’s collaboration on “Wanna Be” did numbers this year, sparking a summertime remix with Cardi B, but now Plies names all of the above in his lawsuit. Soulja’s use of the song dates back to 2010, but that didn’t make him exempt from the “Bust It Baby” rapper’s legal wrath.
Plies’lawsuit names Meg’s Hot Girl Productions, Soulja’s former imprint Collipark Productions as well as Universal Music Group, Collective Music Group and Interscope as defendants.

Last week, Soulja Boy packed out Gramercy Theatre for the New York leg of his SODMG tour. The energy backstage was electric as media, press and friends flooded to support Soulja Boy. New York’s own comedian/rapper HolliTV was invited as Soulja Boy’s surprise guest and both turned up backstage before kicking off the show.
The crowd was restless with anticipation for Big Draco to take the stage and went ballistic when he walked out to “You Aint Bout That Action” before hitting fans with certified classic, “Turn My swag On.” Soulja Boy even jumped into the audience, briefly, showing love to his day ones. After playing his more recent records like “Rick & Morty,” Draco performed hits likes “Pretty Boy Swag,” before bringing HolliTV out on stage with him. Soulja Boy shined his spotlight on his friend and even played Holli’s new record “JULIO” for the crowd.
After Holli’s guest appearance on stage, Soulja got right back to it with, “I Got Me Some Bapes,” followed by “All The Way Turnt Up.” The next song had female fans going crazy as Soulja Boy threw off his jacket and shirt before serenading the crowd with “Kiss Me Thru The Phone.” Draco made sure to end the night on a high with another one of his biggest hits, “Crank That.” Watching everyone on stage and in the crowd simultaneously “crank that” together made for an unforgettable evening.
Immediately following his performance, The Source caught up with Soulja Boy backstage.
