According to Burna, a lot of people misconstrued his words, and he never really meant that the singer was going to get the entire 60 per cent.
Burna stressed that Braxton wouldn’t be getting the bulk of the money as it might go to the pockets of other parties who had stakes in the record from years ago.

"People think streams is always only about numbers. Spotify will pay a 30M streams in the US than a 30M streams in Africa. This song has reached number 1 in over 50 countries. Just tryna calculate the bag. YouTube does the same thing. Prioritize location of streams."
