Saweetie criticizes label for "prematurely" releasing her Doja Cat collab "Best Friend"
Any collaboration featuring “Tap In” artist Saweetie and Grammy-nominated rap-pop force Doja Cat is bound to garner some attention. Originally, their upcoming single “Best Friend” was scheduled to debut Thursday night (or early Friday morning, if you’re on the east coast) per Saweetie’s label, Warner Records. So when the track hit Apple Music at the previously announced time, nobody thought anything was out of the ordinary. Apparently, something was definitely amiss according to Saweetie herself, who took to Twitter to call out her label for allegedly releasing the track early. “I am extremely disappointed in my label WBR for prematurely releasing a single I was so excited about,” the rapper tweeted. “I feel disrespected.” She went on to share that she had a larger rollout planned for the track, which was obviously circumvented by the songs release, and asserting that possibility of gaining clout and money tend to “[override] the artists’ art.” She also noted in a follow-up tweet that the version that was released was the incorrect one.
