Princess Nokia Notes Similarities Between Her Single ‘Mine’ And Ariana Grande’s ‘7 Rings’

Ariana Grande yesterday (January 17, 2019) released the follow up to “thank u, next,” a single titled “7 rings.” The  pink-tinted, Hannah Lux Davis-directed visual and lyrics are all about a flex with Grande boasting about the many things her success has provided her.

Written by 10 individuals, the song references the iconic “My Favorite Things” from the The Sound of Music and also interpolates The Notorious B.I.G.’s single “Gimme The Loot.”

Grande’s fans were happily celebrating the launch when a wrench was thrown in the wheel by Princess Nokia, who pointed out on Instagram that the “7 Rings” chorus sounded suspiciously like “Mine,” a single featured on her “1992” mixtape, which dropped in 2017.

On Instagram, Nokia played segments of the tracks back to back and commented, “Does that sound familiar to you? Ain’t that the lil’ song I made about brown women and their hair? Hmmm…sounds about white.”

As stated by Nokia, “‘Mine’ lyrics are about creating a safe space for the hair choices of women of color. In the outro she states, “Please do not ask me or any black or brown women if our hair is real or not. If it’s a wig, a weave, extensions, braids, don’t fuckin’ ask. It’s very rude, it’s extremely personal to be put on the spot like that. How we choose to wear our hair is our personal choice, ok?”

Commentors who viewed Nokia’s claim as a reach said Grande’s single sounded more like a sped up version of Soulja Boy’s 2010 single “Pretty Boy Swag.” Others heard a similarity to 2 Chainz “Spend It” single from 2011.

Check out the songs below and see what you think.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
