Controversy with Joe Budden
The song is notable for directly sending shots at rapper and media personality Joe Budden. Budden later took to Twitter to respond to the lines:"Soon as it’s all peace [Quavo] decides to unleash this lyrical venom in my direction...that's crazy".[3] Budden also continued his social media antics by directly writing to Quavo,"I am your OG &you will respect me as such."[1][4] Budden later clarified his stance on his issues with Quavo and Migos:"I have no problem with Quavious. Now,plot twist:I think Quavious is hating on me which makes him a Joe Budden."[5] The song's music video took the controversy even a step further,as it would mock Complex's Everyday Struggle.[6] Budden has had a history of conflicts with Lil Yachty,Quavo and Migos,from when he was bashing Lil Yachty on Everyday Struggle and most notably the incident at the BET Awards pre-show,where Budden walked off set of an interview conducted with his Everyday Struggle colleagues DJ Akademiks and Nadeska Alexis for the hip hop trio,causing a conflict that was momentarily caught on tape.[7]
