The song was initially released as the third track from Control the Streets, Vol. 1,[2] before being released as the compilation album's fourth single.[1]
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]
Music video
The video features lookalikes of Joe Budden, DJ Akademiks and Nadeska Alexis, on a mock re-enactment episode of Complex's Everyday Struggle, titled "Old Rappers Struggling". The video also features cameo appearances from Offset and Takeoff of Migos,[6][8] as well as jeweler Johnny Dang who has designed jewelry for many famed hip hop stars.[9]
