Per Billboard, DaBaby posted on his Instagram story, “Y’all MFs sick lol. Y’all ok w/ that child being tricked into thinking I got a problem with her, WE F**K WIT YOU JOJO.”

She think she you. Don’t let em trick you into thinking id ever have a problem with you. My word play just went over their heads. All love on my end shawty, Keep shining!”
