Murda Beatz caught wind of Polo G’s comments and offered his own response. “Proud of this song we made a couple years ago and now it’s a global hit,” he said. “Original creators always get credited on songs even if remade. Nothing but love.” He also shared a screenshot from Spotify that listed him as a songwriter on “Rapstar.”
The back and forth began after Murda Beatz shared an Instagram post celebrating “Rapstar” coming in at No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart for a second consecutive week. “Another #1,” he wrote in the caption. “Been A Crazy Week. Proud Of This One Congrats To Everyone Involved #RAPSTAR.” For what it’s worth, it should also be noted that Murda is labeled as a songwriter and composer for “Rapstar” on Tidal.
