Stunna Girl Calls Out Ciara and Her Team for Not Clearing ‘Goodies’ Sample in New Single ‘Stand Up’
Over the past few years, the music industry has witnessed a surge in the popularity of sampling records, fueled by the influence of platforms like TikTok and the increased streaming of back catalogues. Stunna Girl, a former Zeus Network reality star and rapper, embraced this trend by putting a unique twist on Ciara‘s 2004 hit, ‘Goodies,’ for her latest single featuring YG, titled ‘Stand Up.’ However, her excitement was overshadowed when Ciara issued a Copyright claim on the track on YouTube.
Stunna Girl took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to air out her grievances against the singer and her teaming citing that Ciara’s team contacted them about her.
Expressing her frustration on X (formerly known as Twitter), Stunna Girl vented about Ciara and her team, revealing that Ciara’s team had personally reached out to address the sampling. She also went into the challenges faced by artists when using samples, pointing out that some artists act as if they solely created the beat. Stunna Girl further emphasized what she perceived as a double standard in the treatment of sampled beats based on the artist’s racial background, noting, “But anytime I’ve used a beat sampled by a white artist, they didn’t care.”

The New 1017 Rapper Enchanting Passes Away; Coi Leray, Gucci Mane and More Respond to Her Passing
After being placed on life support, 26-year-old rapper Enchanting has tragically passed away.
The Texas native signed with Gucci Mane’s The New 1017 label in 2020. She released her debut project, No Luv, in 2022, featuring the singles “Want Sum” and “Track & Field” with Kaliii. Her latest project, Luv Scarred / No Luv (Deluxe), was released in 2023.
A representative from her management team informed The Shade Room that Enchanting was struggling with withdrawals, saying, “She came to my house the last four days to get clean. She tried her best, and I did everything I could to help her. She tried.”
Coi Leray, Monaleo, and others confirmed her passing on social media.
“I’ll see you later, sister. Save me a spot, baby! I love you 4L and after,” Monaleo wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).
