The rapper behind the smash hit “F.N.F. (Lets Go),” GloRilla, may soon teach us another lesson on the business of music.
Trouble stirring with “F.N.F.” producer: GloRilla dropped this bomb in response to a series of tweets from “F.N.F.” producer HitKidd. It appears there was trouble brewing between the pair over a disagreement about the ownership of the smash hit.
HitKidd sends a fury of tweets: HitKidd said — in a now-deleted tweet — that GloRilla had signed the “F.N.F.” single to Yo Gotti’s record label Collective Music Group without his knowledge.
“I told you & your MANAGER everyday that we was in LA with Saweetie, that labels are going to try to sign you because of FNF so watch out. I also told you to let me know when labels reach out so we can be on the same page, but you still went and signed my song without telling me,” he wrote, according to Okayplayer.
GloRilla responds: The “Blessed” rapper did respond on her personal Facebook page and revealed the producer has been on her neck ever since the song became a viral hit.

“N-gga done made so much money from ‘F.N.F.’ and I haven’t made not one red cent (other than shows),” GloRilla said on Facebook, according to XXL. “But I’m still prospering ’cause guess what? I can rap in real life and ain’t no MF one-hit-wonder. I wrote every single lyric in every single song I ever put out and even after all this, I still got love for Hitkidd ’cause we came up together, even doe he been going behind my back ever since the song blew but dat’s another story for another day. I just hate da fact he had to bring da business to social media when I could’ve been came out about the snake sh-t he been doing to me.”
She has not earned a dime from “F.N.F.” single: Despite the 23 million plays on streaming services like Spotify and 44 million views of the music video via YouTube, GloRilla also states she hasn’t earned a dime from the song. However, she’s been cashing in on the song through shows, according to Okayplayer.

GloRilla also shut down his claims that she signed the rights of the song away to her record label. She claims that HitKidd signed it away within its first week for $50,000.
“You signed da song away the first week (without me knowing) for [$50,000] because you didn’t know how big it was gone be. Should I keep going?” she wrote, according to Okayplayer.
Despite the drama, the artist seems to still be winning in real life.
