A simple celebratory message on social media by Wolftyla turned into an online spat with Megan Thee Stallion. Last year, Megan released her Fever mixtape and later Wolftyla shared an image of the tracklist with the caption, "Got my first placement and it’s on an album by a woman who i think is fire." She hashtagged the song "Simon Says," a track that featured Juicy J, but Megan came back with ire.
"I write all my own sh*t don’t let nobody gas you up like that,” Megan Thee Stallion shared on her Instagram Story. “That clout sh*t crazy." According to The Source she also stated, "Like I said don’t nobody write my sh*t for me… so don’t try to insinuate you did… just be clear from the beginning. I didn’t even know she had nothing to do with the song Juicy J say you ain’t write nothing. Simon says shut tf up.”
A back-and-forth ensued, but in a recent interview with No Jumper, Wolftyla explained in detail how she came to be involved with the Fever song. "I was in a studio session and I was playing my music and somehow happened to leave the door open to the studio session and Juicy [J]'s manager came in," she said. The manager told Wolftyla that he was a fan and invited her to another session the following day. "I went in there, they played me a bunch of beats, I picked out the beats that I loved, I did some writing on it, melodies on it, and then boom."
"I was just going in there really humble," Wolftyla added about working with the Three 6 Mafia artist. "Juicy J's a legend and I'm not gonna sit here and bash him because, hey, the industry is the industry and business is business, but I definitely was going in there bright-eyed and really excited to work with him." She wasn't happy with being portrayed as a liar.
Wolftyla added that as a Vine star who is trying to transition into a serious artist, it was a heavy blow. However, she knew the song was going to come out with Megan Thee Stallion because she claims July J's manager contacted her asking for her BMI information.

Vine Successor, "Byte," Officially Launches, Set To Compete With TikTok
How will Byte compete with TikTok?
Yesterday, Byte, the spiritual successor to Vine, officially launched on iOS and Andriod.
"Dear friends, today we’re bringing back 6-second looping videos and a new community for people who love them. It’s called byte and it’s both familiar and new. We hope it’ll resonate with people who feel something’s been missing," the company announced on Twitter. "You know the drill: upload from your camera roll or use the byte camera to capture stuff. there are lots of ways to find new personalities and moments. Explore what the community is watching and loving, view posts handpicked by our editors, or browse on your own."
The application was announced two years ago by Vine co-founder Dom Hofmann. The app operates under, essentially, the same premise as Vine: Users upload videos set a maximum of six-seconds in length. This time around, however, creators will have direct monetization on the content they upload, a missing element from rival Tik-Tok.
"Very soon, we'll introduce a pilot version of our partner program which we will use to pay creators. Byte celebrates creativity and community, and compensating creators is one important way we can support both. Stay tuned for more info," the company explained on Twitter.
