Saweetie is definitely unhappy with her label Warner Records.
The 26-year-old American rapper is expressing her frustration after her brand new collaborative single ‘Best Friend’ featuring Doja Cat dropped earlier than expected, according to HIPHOPDX.
In a series of tweets on Thursday (December 3), the ‘Tap In’ hitmaker hit back at the music giant and accused the label for released the song ‘Best Friend’ against her wishes.
Shortly after the new track hit streaming services, Saweetie took to Twitter to voice her displeasure.
“I am extremely disappointed in my label WBR for prematurely releasing a single I was so excited about. I feel disrespected. I’m hands-on with ALL of my creative & had such a dope rollout for “best friends”. The thirst for clout & $ is real & it overrides the artists’ art,” she began.
