ATL Jacob, the producer of the Grammy-winning hit featuring Future, Drake, and Tems, has been accused of fabricating a story about needing Drake to pressure Tems into clearing their 2022 collaboration “Wait For U” for release. Tems’ manager, Donawon, has strongly refuted Jacob’s claims, calling him a pathological liar.
Key Takeaway
ATL Jacob’s claims about needing Drake to intervene in the release of “Wait For U” have been strongly contested by Tems’ manager, who has labeled the producer’s narrative as false and urged for clarity regarding the song’s origins.
Questioning the Narrative
In a recent interview with the Baller Alert podcast, ATL Jacob alleged that Tems was initially reluctant to clear “Wait For U” for release, and he had to enlist Drake’s intervention to persuade her. However, Donawon has vehemently denied these claims, asserting that Jacob’s version of events is entirely false.
Donawon expressed his dismay at Jacob’s statements and went as far as questioning the producer’s credibility, suggesting that those close to Jacob should advise him to seek professional help for what he perceives as a tendency to fabricate stories.
Clarity Amid Controversy
“Wait For U” achieved significant commercial success, swiftly ascending to the top of the charts upon its release and subsequently attaining triple platinum certification. Given the song’s impact, it is imperative to ensure that the facts surrounding its creation and release are accurately represented.
Despite attempts to reach out to ATL Jacob for his response to the rebuttal, there has been no comment from the producer thus far.
