Long before the VMA performance seen around the world, Miley Cyrus gained a bit of controversy for the music video for her first "Bangerz" single "We Can't Stop." The music video, full of the former Disney star writhing around on a bed, twerking and partying with her friends was quite scandalous but at least I was heralded as an original idea. Now, former White Girl Mob rapper Lil Debbie is claiming that Cyrus ripped off ideas for "We Can't Stop" from her own music video "Ratchets."
In a YouTube interview with VladTV, Lil Debbie was discussing "Ratchets" and the concept behind the video ("'Married With Children,' I'm Kelly Bundy, the girl dancers are Peg Bundy") and said that while she has received some backlash, it "inspired some other music videos that have came [sic] out recently," including "We Can't Stop."
"She used all the same dancers that were in my music video. The man that helped me style 'Ratchets,' his boss styled her music video. A lot of my friends from LA were in her music video. She's wearing a two-piece onesie, all white. I mean, if you go and watch them, they're very similar," said Lil Debbie.
The unsigned artist said that Cyrus and her crew taking inspiration from "Ratchets" doesn't bother her because "everything in this industry is recycled," but she is bothered that they didn't reach out to her and went straight to the director. Meanwhile, Lil Debbie claims that artists like Rihanna and Rita Ora "hit her up" and acknowledge her existence when they like her work.
The "We Can't Stop" video isn't the only thing about Cyrus that rubs Lil Debbie the wrong way. She also seemed angry that Cyrus wore a weed leaf backpack and money print crop top a company sent her and now she can't wear it anymore.
"That b***h ruins everything for me, 'cause now I can't wear it because when I wear it, people will be like 'Oh, Miley Cyrus had that on first!' No. What you didn't know was they sent it to me five months ago. What you didn't know is my music video was put out five months ago," she said. "So, it's kind of like... I feel like Miley Cyrus needs to do her research on the pop culture and the underground culture."
