“I didn't even know there was any connection" Kali had no idea her song "Area Codes" shared the same name as Ludacris' 2001 hit 💿 READ: cmplx.co/3qmPbhd

@ComplexMusic I know yall talk about age but when I was that age I knew Marvin Gaye and James Brown hits, Earth, Wind and Fire, Chaka Kahn...If you don't listen to music outside of your generation you not a serious musician

@ComplexMusic Every time Gen Z does this y’all get upset lmfaoooo 😭😭😭

@ComplexMusic So she from atlanta, and don’t know iconic atlanta music? The rest of y’all who ain’t from here can argue bout that, but I promise we ain’t goin for it

@ComplexMusic Oh so she ain’t write the record then

@ComplexMusic we losing recipes

@ComplexMusic Nobody told her 🤦🏽‍♂️ lol & how young is she that she dont know area code?

@ComplexMusic Lmfao this new intentionally ignorant gang of rappers is something else!

@ComplexMusic Girl please

@ComplexMusic We gotta stop using age as a defense.

@ComplexMusic We are losing recipes I’ll say it again

@ComplexMusic @HipHopImm0rtal Fun fact: 95% of ppl on the internet don't know what life was like before 2012

@ComplexMusic She is 22 years old, the song was released as she was a infant. By the time she is in her teen years area code was not a prominent hit,if ever played. She not a producer so she not gon listen to the sample nor does she strike me as a hip hop head that craves knowledge so yea

@ComplexMusic She just lucky this wasn't a Marvin Gaye song.

@ComplexMusic I call BS, that songs a classic. Even if she didn't know before, she would have found out during the production.

@ComplexMusic How can you say music is your passion and don’t do any research or have any clue of how your song came together.

@ComplexMusic It’s too many people mad at her & not enough people mad at the people around her for not schooling her.

@ComplexMusic I got hoes in different area codes did become a popular phrase because of that song so maybe she just didn’t know the origin. It’s not like she sampled the beat 🤷‍♀️

@ComplexMusic She probably don’t listen to him like that Y’all need to chill.

@ComplexMusic You’re in the industry but don’t know it’s history. Crazy lol

@ComplexMusic This is why you have to go your history 🤦🏾‍♂️

@ComplexMusic She killer has ghostwriters. These new rappers have no shame. They don’t even respect no parts of the history of the game and that’s why rap is heading down a tough road

@ComplexMusic This a lie from the pits. Even the concept is the same…it’s ok to be inspired but c’mon

@ComplexMusic Classic case of this generation of artists not knowing 💩 about the business they’re in.

@ComplexMusic Kali lying so bad lmaoooo 😭😭😭

@ComplexMusic Her parents didn't listen to Rap? She never listened to rap from the year 2000

@ComplexMusic Music industry nowadays is just rinse and repeat. Ain't no artists out now I fully rate.

@ComplexMusic Is there not a database for when you enter the potential name of your song that'll show matches or similar names to avoid conflicts?

@ComplexMusic All this tells me is that she didn’t write the song

@ComplexMusic Same hook somebody lying. Also she took dababy whole flow lol

@ComplexMusic She lying she just don’t wanna have to pay that royalty fee I get it the song is way different but I don’t believe her.

@ComplexMusic Bombastic side eye.
