The song, also featuring Mannie Fresh and Mia X, was sponsored by Match Group's dating app BLK. "Vaxx That Thang Up" was released to mixed reactions. Juvenile responded to critics by claiming that his goal was not to force listeners to receive the vaccine, but instead that they "get educated on it, and make the right decision.” [12]
