Jada Kingdom’s Fans Call Out Saweetie, Liana Banks For ‘GPP’ Track
Twinkle, Twinkle, GPP star. Your fans are wondering where you are.
Jada Kingdom’s 2022 GPP track is making the rounds following the release of a song by the same name from hip-hop acts Liana Banks and Saweetie.
Debuting last week, their song illustrates the transactional power of their lady parts – mostly receiving expensive gifts from their partners. Produced by Weston DuPree and The Walking Dead, the uptempo record bears the chorus:
Yeah, I got good-pu**y problems
Told him he was gonna love this, made him wanna— quick
Good-pu**y problems
Got him pickin’ out a ring, yeah, he tryna be my husband
Turned off all the lights and it was man down
Put it on him, he don’t wanna pull out
Good-pu**y problems
Got that GPP, GPP
A music video premiered on Monday with the usual twerking suspects and an underdeveloped storyline of a ‘GPP Support Group’. It garnered roughly 800 views in eight hours.
On the other hand, Kingdom’s GPP oozes an old school, Motown sway, paired with mind-twisting lyrics from the Gen Zer trying to evade an obsessive one-night stand. Produced by and co-written with Stephen ‘Di Genius’ McGregor, Kingdom’s song leans into the undesired attention that accompanies her grip game, with the following chorus:
I put it down on the wrong one
We ain’t got nothing in common
Me p*m p*m tun good bwoy inna mad man (Damn)
Now I’ve got good pu**y problems
Wish somebody could’ve warn me
Don’t send that text when yuh horny
You gwine regret it in the morning (You gwine regret it), yeah, yeah
Kingdom’s track also got video treatment, drawing more than 12 million eyes to her Miss Cleo-esque storyline.
Despite the subtle song differences, Twinkle’s fans feel the singjay was slighted by the American artists.
“They stealing all the Jamaican sh** and using it,” DJ Crazy Neil commented on a promo post on Saweetie’s Instagram page. “How about bringing the Jamaicans to sing their sh**?”
One user countered that the history of recorded Jamaican music has seen the illegal covering and sampling of American records. Nonetheless, the disc jock held his ground.
“Facts but still American should do better.”
Other fans believe Kingdom is due credit, even if it means being on the remix.
“As soon as I heard GPP🤔I’m like at least acknowledge @jadakingdom the blueprint.”
“Now, she needs to run Jada Kingdom her royalties.”
“Sooo @saweetie y’all gonna put @jadakingdom on the remix or what ????”
“It’s giving JADAAAA 🇯🇲.”
“Love saweetie but Jada kingdom was the first person that came to my mind when I heard GPP.”
Another questioned, “Are they ok? This was already done🧐”
The issue of song similarity has been in the air with Brick and Lace singer Nyla insinuating that Sean Paul and Will Smith’s Light Em Up is close to her Light It Up song with Major Lazer.
Arguably, the biggest copyright infringement case in dancehall history centered around deejay Flourgon and pop artist Miley Cyrus.
In 2018, the deejay accused Cyrus and her Sony Music label of plagiarising lyrics from his 1988 track We Run Things, in her 2013 hit We Can’t Stop. Both songs share the line, “we run things, things don’t run we”, though Flourgon’s record was only registered in 2017.
The deejay gained the nickname ‘$300 million dollar man’ after settling the case in 2020, though the actual sum remains private.
