In a reply to them, the mum of one stated that if she ever got inspiration from someone's song, she would not mind giving a percentage or paying a fee to the artiste.
She also noted that she had never heard of the rappers and she played the hook of her single on an Instagram live before their song dropped.
"Naaa I'm the type of person that avoids problems & court days. If I get inspired by a song I wouldn’t mind giving a percentage or couple of thousand but I never Hurd if this man. I’m glad while I was recording this song in August I was playing with the hook on this live."
