Jacquees revealed that his latest remix of Ella Mai’s “Trip” song was removed with a retweet and crying face emojis. The remix by Jacquees outperformed the original song on certain streaming services, which resulted in Ella Mai’s team sending a cease and desist order. Mustard, the owner of the label who signed Ella Mai, chimed in to have the “Boo’d Up” singers back.

T-Pain also commented on the situation when fans asked why his remix of “Boo’d Up” didn’t receive the same backlash, T-Pain responded that Jacquees tried to make profit off the song. But, Jacquees was quick to shut down that rumor and explained that it was put only on SoundCloud and YouTube.
