"Mom is that you?"

"Dang, Drake's really got me on the record."

About to make her first performance in years, Rye Rye says being sampled by Drake had her "crying and smiling at the same time."https://t.co/ejqTsC9Rvc

You had me until the last one sis, but do get your credit and coin

She should get her credit and a fair compensation.

Also, girl, delete that last tweet. Not a good look.

I saw a Rye Rye vinyl at a West Virginia TJ Maxx like five years ago and I thought it was the most random thing, literally the only vinyl in the entire store.

The Dom Rimini Nasty Boy remix of "Hardcore Girls" was my jam back in the day. Hope she gets properly acknowledged and paid. She didn't record that for charity.

She has people and has never gotten credit for anything. You need new people.
And you thought being loyal to an abuser and he would somehow shine back on you.
Some hard lessons to learn.
Keep at it I'm sure they will write a check quick but still no edit credit.

Yikes at that last tweet, but I think it also shows the power dynamic of why people stay loyal to abusers, especially in the entertainment industry. She just said it outloud.

If I'm not making sense, forgive me. I'm still trying to wake up from my meds.

You're making sense, bb. It's true. She most likely didn't say anything, because of Diplo's position in the industry. Also she's a Black woman, so there's another layer of why she decided to stay mum. He's a powerful white man and we know how those who speak out often get treated by the industry and the public.

I hope that now that she opened the gate, that she'll slam open that door and spill since he acts like she doesn't exist.
