While much of it is pertaining to her album and of course, the fact that many presumed the song was about Offset's cheating allegations, there were also speculations that it may have sparked some sort of beef between herself and Kehlani. The Internet has a was of flipping narratives and it seems as if Kehlani ended up a victim to that. However, she took to Instagram to clear up any sort of rumors of beef between herself and Cardi.

Kehlani eventually caught wind of the rumor and decided to shut down the rumor before it even got bigger on her Instagram story. She explained that it was a guy who she was speaking of that used her song from five years a go.

"Me posting a Cardi song, with her own lyric from the song, had nothing do with it,” she said.

Overall, things seem to be copacetic between the two. Their were speaks of a collaboration as well so hopefully that'll land on Invasion Of Privacy.
