- The single samples Diddy's classic "Bad Boys For Life" and features a cameo of the singer in the video.
- What it also does is perpetuate negative stereotypes of Black men as "bad boys" and continue a dangerous narrative that needs to be left in the past.
- Along with that, Nelson's been accused of "blackfishing" by changing her appearance to appear more racially ambiguous.
- The song and its accompanying video were both met with backlash from fans, critics, and viewers.
