Teyana Taylor Claps Back At Mykki Blanco Over ‘WTP’ Diss

Teyana Taylor may be pregnant, but she’s not backing down from jabs.

For, moments ago, the R&B singer found herself at the center of a spar with Mykki Blanco.

A performer and transgender activist, Blanco featured on Taylor’s jam ‘WTP (Work That P**sy’ – which is lifted from 2018 album ‘K.T.S.E.’

Yet, in a heated social media entry, the 34-year-old blasted the experience and lamented non-payment for their services.

Taking specific aim at Taylor, several accusations were hurled – including allegations of negative bias surrounding their HIV status.

Taylor was having none of it.

The exchange after the jump…

Mykki kicked off the spar when they took to Instagram with the following:

“Can you believe it’s been two years and Universal Music has still not paid me my feature fee for this song? Can you believe it took 1 year with the help of my lawyer to get credited on the song, because it did. I wrote on and co- produced this track as well as writing the verse that Kanye literally raps on “Hurry”. Is that a big accomplishment to write for other artists NO, this isn’t about clout.
.
The reason I have gone public with this is not to bad mouth @teyanataylor, but her ENTIRE team and Universal have treated me WITH SO MUCH DISRESPECT, THEY HAVE TREATED ME BAD YALL… REALLY BAD, I HATE DOING THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA BUT I HAVE HAD IT!!!!! It’s a pandemic, like so many musicians I’m completely out of work. I’m doing writing jobs here and there but almost all of my income like so many others stems from touring. I’ve had it, I didn’t want to go public but the way I have been treated is really, really, really bad. These people have been flippant, rude, they have lied, delayed, found me “harmless” and “inconsequential”.
.
I’m asking all of my fans PLEASE DO NOT STREAM “WTP”.
.
PLEASE DO NOT STREAM @teyanataylor “WTP”.
.
I’ve had it, everything associated with this song and these people is ANTI- LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈. It’s a lie, after 2 years and during a pandemic they still act like paying me a simple feature fee is a joke. This song and these people do not support Black, Trans & Queer people, it’s a lie I’m done participating in.
.
Universal thinks making me wait 2 years for proper credit and a simple feature fee is okay. They think I’m a small artist with inconsequential reach.
.
Please I ask you, stop streaming and never stream again “WTP”.

Teyana responded with:

It wasn’t long before Mykki hit back with:

“I have been QUITE about this for 2 WHOLE YEARS. QUIET. MUTE. SILENT. IT’S A PANDEMIC, NOBODY CAN TOUR OR PLAY SHOWS. YES I’M COUNTING MY COINS AND YOUR TEAM REPEATEDLY DID ME DIRTY. I WAS “INCONSEQUENTIAL FALLOUT”. I’MMA LET YOU REST, BUT DON’T PLAY ME BABY!

Ok GIRL. Your manager has been dodging my manager like he owe him back child support. Teyana you wanna play in my face now that I made it hot. TWO YEARS YOUR TEAM HAS BEEN PLAYING ME. TWO YEARS!!! Your dead ass right. It’s a pandemic and I am tired of being treated like TRASH

You know very well I am a jet set bitch. Don’t do this “your poor” Black classism act, because you don’t have the range. This is about how it has taken 2 years for your team to treat me like a human being.

We not EVEN gonna get into the fact that you were very uncomfortable when you found out I had HIV, You tried your hardest to edit me out the music video and then gonna put Lena Waithe and a bunch more “palatable” Black Queer people all in the sh*t.

So guess what, I’m gonna actually step away from my laptop now and go season this f*cking fish. Universal and Teyana’s team took 2 years to pay me, treated me like trash and because I’m now asking to be treated like a human being they doing their rich Black people capitalist act.

If you’ve seen the “WTP” video I’m in it for like 2 minutes even though I wrote and co-produced the song. They didn’t want a HIV + Black person getting all that shine so they threw in a bunch of Black Queer people that y’all would find more palatable instead of lifting me up.”

Taylor rounded off with:

“Okay this is clearly about a pandemic coin. you got my whole #. People who know, knows I’m a giver! Idk you well but I don’t have to know a person that well to give. I HAVE NOT received one text or even a dm about what you’ve been put thru. So as I said, u handling this is wack.

WHEW CHILLLEEEEE the delusion Woozy face We are not going to get into that because it’s simply a lie. I knew nothing of ya status prior to today. Baby please take a nap. I see what’s going on here. Leave me alone, I’m done with this.

I Eyes u didn’t defend ya self on the part about: “YOU HAVE MY WHOLE # & haven’t sent me ONE TEXT OR DM ABOUT what u have been going thru the last 2 years”. Proves my point. Even tho I don’t like how u handled me, I will make sure the LABEL get you paid. NOW that i know. Good day.

Whew.
