Many on social media called out Cardi B over her flow saying she was reading the lyrics instead of rapping. In the song, the 29-year-old female emcee spits, “I don't know what's longer, man, my blocklist or my checklist/ I don't know what's colder, man, my heart or my necklace/ Pretty when I wake up, I'm a bad bi**h at breakfast/ Still might slide on a opp (It's electric)”
 
Lil Durk, on the other hand, raps, “I pick my side, switches fully and I'ma die for 21 (Slaughter Gang)/ I got plenty cars, I hit plenty stars and didn't come/ I said it plenty times, I pay for bodies, I ain't pay for none.” Kanye’s verse comes at the end where he raps, “Pinky swear, you ain't scared when you heard Ye appear/ I'ma hop up out the bushes, me and Pusha kill your man/ I'm just sayin' now I start to get used to the pain/ 'Til one day I say, "F**k it," brought my masseuse on the plane.” You can stream the full song here.

The next one tweeted, “Ye's verse was weak could have taken this to another level, very bubble gum but  Not a bad song though.” One user stated, “NO. Not here for it. I did honestly like cardi’s verse but it seemed robotic. Like the flow isn’t there.” Another concluded, “Why she sound like she’s reading the lyrics no flow just reading. I’m being honest it doesn’t give Star Quality she sounded regular.”
