The song was later deleted from Soundcloud before being re-uploaded, with the rapper stating on Facebook; “Mental my own publisher gets my music removed from my soundcloud lol, that’s why I lost respect for them [sic],” he wrote.
“Zayn wants the tune out, he ask me to be on the song, shah (naughtyboy) told me that his label wont let him release any music for the next two yrs… so you know what I did? I did it for him, for you. And at the end of the day they cant say no to me, I work for the people not the industry [sic].”
The song was later posted to YouTube.
