Chicago’s own Glizzy Glow is putting the internet on notice after accusing artist Pluto of stealing her “Cutwater” music video concept. The claim sparked debate after fans pointed out striking similarities between Pluto’s latest visual for her song “Bow” and Glow’s original direction — from set design to pacing and overall aesthetic.
For Glow, it’s bigger than one video. It’s about independent creatives getting their credit. As conversation spread across timelines, supporters highlighted matching scenes and brand-style cues they say echo Glow’s treatment for “Cutwater.”
Why Fans Are Comparing the Two
Viewers who’ve watched both videos point to similar color palettes, product-style shots, and framing choices that feel nearly identical to “Cutwater.” Whether it’s homage, coincidence, or something more direct is now the center of debate — and the court of public opinion is already weighing in.
The Bigger Industry Conversation
This moment taps into a long-running conversation in music: where inspiration ends and duplication begins. For independent women in hip-hop, a lack of credit can mean missed momentum, lost opportunities, and blurred authorship — all while bigger platforms benefit from the aesthetic.
Expect more receipts, breakdowns, and possibly a statement from Pluto. If anything, the buzz proves Glow’s creative direction is resonating — and the demand for clear credit and collaboration etiquette isn’t going away.
