Yesterday (Mar. 21, ) Delaware rapper Jem Cretes dropped a track entitled “Hustle 101” featuring a guest appearance from Schoolboy Q. Now, the TDE rapper claims that verse was stolen. Taking to Twitter, Q went on a mini-rant, denouncing the so-called feature, saying the verse was recorded two years prior:

Furthering his fury, Schoolboy Q also called out publications who shared the song, threatening not to conduct interviews with them for posting the verse, “knowing it’s old:”

Meanwhile, Cretes also took to Twitter to give his side of the story, claiming that Q was aware of the feature:
