Controversy
The song is notable for YoungBoy taking shots at the rappers from O'Block in Chicago, especially King Von, whose murder in 2020 is referenced: "Nigga, this that Squid Game, O-Block pack get rolled up / Murder what they told us, Atlanta boy get fold up".[2][3]
After the song circulated on social media, rapper Lil Durk posted a picture of him sitting alongside a poster of King Von on Instagram, along with the caption "Don't claim it if you ain't do it you still a bitch."[3] Rapper Lil Reese commented on the track that YoungBoy was "just rapping like the rest of these rappers all rap". Rapper NLE Choppa replied in agreement. A week later, YoungBoy responded with a diss track aiming at Choppa, "Know Like I Know".[4]
