Ella Mai just recently dropped her self-titled debut album but the singer was recently involved in some beef leading up to it’s release. Jacquees released a cover of her song “Trip” and got a lot of attention from it, almost more than the original, until it was suddenly taken down. The controversy surrounding the removal caused a lot of drama and some speculated that Ella had something to do with it.
In an interview she took the time to clear it up. She explains, “I don’t play any role in it, to be honest. I feel like my label made a statement, and there’s not really much else to say about it to be honest. People are gonna take it how they want. People don’t actually know the real ins and outs of the industry.” When the song was first removed, DJ Mustard made a statement on behalf of the 10 Summers label saying Ella had nothing to do with it. As for if she minds if anyone covers or remixes her songs, she says she doesn’t mind at all. Mai got her start doing covers on Instagram and that it only really becomes an issue when monetization off of the cover is involved.
After the remix was removed it was speculated that Ella Mai had blocked the singer on Instagram. She also cleared that up saying, “I never even followed him.” Take a look at his responses on Twitter.
