Rapper Latto has publicly asserted her songwriting prowess by sharing handwritten lyrics from her track "Hostage." This action followed comments made by Joe Budden on his podcast, where he suggested Latto's flow on "Big Mama" resembled Drake's and implied questions about her writing process.

Later, Joe Budden addressed the situation on a Patreon-exclusive episode of his podcast. He clarified that his original intention was not to accuse Latto of not writing her music. Budden issued an apology, stating that questioning an artist's writing is a serious matter, and he did not intend to make such an accusation against her.
