VDM argued that Zlatan allowed the dispute to affect him after some of his critics began siding with the singer, implying that the controversy was designed to promote the track. In an online video, VDM stated that the song had been recorded beforehand, and Zlatan edited it to incorporate the contentious verse to create a buzz. He further claimed that some of his critics encouraged Zlatan to confront the issue, and later, Davido joined the situation.
