Rapper CARDI B says she has never heard of Lincoln 3 Dot or his “sound alike” song “Bang” which social media users are accusing the rapper of ripping off. In fact Cardi accuses Lincoln of not knowing his musical history and appropriating other cultures.
“You need to educate yourself because “Bong” is Brazilian Phonk, so ya’ll saying that you look so stupid because you really in somebody else’s culture.”
Brazilian phonk is a genre of music that fuses funk carioca, electronic music, and trap, to make an aggressive beat similar to both Lincoln and Cardi B’s songs.
“You know what’s crazy, I have never heard of him, and I have never heard of that song.” She went on to insult the social media personality calling him a dummy. “You Dummy, big dummy, I wish you would try to sue, you gonna lose bad,” she told the host of a radio program.
Meanwhile in a voice note Lincoln 3 Dot told WMV that he has not commented about the song to any media house. “Yo right now this whole thing, me never want all a this to happen so fast, I wanted the song to grow before we even do nuttn and all a these media people a write stuff that I didn’t say.”
Cardi told SiriusXM that she had the beat and the record for a minute.
“The beat was so deniable and the record was so undeniable,” she said.
Cardi B told the Breakfast Club Friday that she got the inspiration for “Bongos” from the latin music genre “Dem Bow.”
“It’s fun but it reminds me of Dem Bow” she said. “Its funk but it’s a Dominican style of music.”
“Bem Bow” is coincidentally the subject of a lawsuit filed by Steely and Clevie.
‘Bongos’ produced byDonny “Dizzy Clean Face” Flores of We Good LLC who is also credited as a writer on the track along with DJ SwanQo, & Breyan Isaac.
Bongos peaked at No. 1 on the US iTunes charts.
