Background edit

Latto first performed the song at Coachella, several days before it was released.[1]

Content edit

In the song, Latto raps about being tired of people criticizing and being sneaky,[1][2] warning her detractors to not cause trouble for her,[2][3] and boasts her wealth.[3] In the chorus, she raps: "I done done it all / feel like Shawty Lo / Laughin' to the bank / but shit is not a joke / Say she got a problem? / Imaginary smoke / Bitches said it's up / then put it on the floor".[1][2]

Controversy edit

Latto references fellow rapper Coi Leray in the opening of the second verse: "Smokin' on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray". Shortly after the song was released on streaming services, Leray responded with a series of tweets, taking issue with the lyrics and accusing Latto of body shaming her.[4][5] However, Leray later stated in a tweet that she may have overreacted and went on to warn Latto not to mention her name in a song again.[5] During Weekend Two of Coachella 2023, Latto said at the end of her set, "Ay, Coi Leray I love your body baby."[6]

Music video edit

The music video was released on April 24, 2023. It includes clips of her Coachella performance.[7]
