My Poops: Last News

Black Eyed Peas over a ‘My Humps’ parody.In January this year, Black Eyed Peas’ music publisher BMG Rights Management took legal action against MGA (the company behind Bratz) over alleged similarities between their 2005 track and one sung by the Poopsie Slime Surprise: Dancing Unicorn toy.According to the lawsuit, the toys sing a song called ‘My Poops’ at the push of its heart-shaped bellybutton. However, the track allegedly ripped off the rap group’s 2005 hit, ‘My Humps’.Now, the two parties have reportedly reached “a settlement in principle” to resolve the lawsuit, according to Billboard.In the original complaint made in January, BMG said that, in additional to copying musical elements, the unicorn song featured a lead vocalist who “sounds very similar” to Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie.“My poops, my poops my poops my poops. Whatcha gonna do with all that poop, all that poop,” sings the toy.“I drive my parents crazy, I do it every day,” it continues.

BMG has sued toy maker MGA Entertainment in the US over its past marketing of a slime-making product line called Poopsie Slime Surprise with a song called ‘My Poops’, which sounds rather like the Black Eyed Peas track ‘My Humps. But with more poop.The Poopsie Slime Surprise product line was first launched in 2018 and – a lawsuit filed by BMG last week explains – “included a number of different toys, including, but not limited to, a dancing unicorn doll and a unicorn doll that excretes sparkling slime”.As for musical element to the dancing pooping toy unicorns, MGA “created a song called ‘My Poops’ that clearly copies from, and is substantially similar to, ‘My Humps'” and also made an animated video in which cartoon versions of the toy are seen “singing and dancing to the infringing work”.And it doesn’t stop there.

Music publisher BMG Rights Management is suing toymaker MGA Entertainment for allegedly making a parody of the hit Black Eyed Peas song My Humps.It all centers on a music video showing animated dancing unicorn dolls that excrete sparkling slime that's part of the promotion for its Poopsie Slime Surprise toy line.The plaintiffs, BMG, maintain My Poops clearly is a rip off of the My Humps melody, tempo, chord progression, and even features a woman vocalist who sounds much like Fergie, who delivered most of the catchy parts in the original, according to Reuters.
