ATL Jacob, who produced the song, stated that Future had to talk to Drake to use his relationship with Tems to get her to approve the sample.
His claim earned backlash on social media with the singer and her manager also refuting his claims, calling him a liar.
Reacting to the backlash via X, ATL Jacob wrote: “All this negativity coming to me … I got a $100,000 wire transfer for Tems and her team to find me 1 time I spoke negatively about her.
Replying, The Afrobeat singer offered the American producer $1 million instead, if he would stop “telling lies.”
She wrote,
Its not about saying anything negative. Stop telling lies. I’ll give you 1 million.”
What do you make of the whole situation? Who do you think is lying?
