Controversy.
Roughly a week after the release, Larray addressed backlash he received from the track on TikTok about supposedly "normalizing child grooming", stating:
 ;templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" / ;In the video, I made some jokes and I stated some facts, and there's a huge difference between the two... I find it ironic that I'm being called out for the Tony Lopez situation, which wasn't a joke, when the entire TikTok community was doing the same thing.
Chart performance.
The song reached number 81 on the "Billboard" Hot 100, making it Larray's first entry on the chart. It also charted at number 34 on the magazine's Hot R&amp;B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and at 96 on the Canadian Hot 100.
2023 remix.
On May 31, 2023, Larray released a remix featuring American rapper Twaimz, as well as an accompanying music video. The remix contains a completely different set of lyrics, dissing different people than the original, most notably Dream, GeorgeNotFound, and TommyInnit, whom both Larray and Twaimz allege to each be homosexual. Kelon Campbell makes an appearance at the end of the video as his internet persona Terri Joe.
