SONGWRITER CLAIMS HE HELPED WRITE LATTO'S 'UP & DOWN': Yesterday (March 24th), singer-songwriter Mondaii tweeted that he helped write Latto's “Up & Down” featuring Saucy Santana but he wasn't credited for it. Latto responded to the allegations, saying, “… That was cute, but the world saw me writing since a kid on television sir sorry.” Meanwhile, Kodak Black's friend and collaborator Dyryk also called out Latto after she claimed a male rapper gave her a hard time clearing a record because she wouldn't respond to a DM. Fans automatically assumed she was talking about Kodak Black. Dyryk said, “Let me fill you in on what this bullsh*t with @latto777 is all about. She asked for a feature a while back. We charged her our normal rate and she wanted a swap. Since her verse won't really do anything for us, we asked for a swap for our female artist and charged her substantially less. She declined and said she was going to not use the record.” Dyryk claimed Latto later accepted the first offer without the female artist. He added, “Now she's on some bullsh*t that she was made uncomfortable And holding up your album? I know you're not talking about us. You were on your diva sh*t when no one is getting in the car playing your records. You're whole album had legal issues (I'm on the email chain) stop tryna pull this fictitious fueled empathy card for sales.”
