Making them the subject of ferocious roasting on Twitter for their poor audio quality, the hoopla eventually reached the desks of the phenomenon’s creators – Timbaland and Swizz Beatz.

As a result, the duo are enforcing new rules to ensure such never happens again.

“The very first time I decide to tell you anything about my life…200,000 hateful, spiteful comments come in, my phone number leaked, and comments like, ‘You f*cking white bitch’. It’s the opposite of the spirit of an advocate…but it’s not gonna stop me. Period.”
