Reception
Controversy arose from West's lyrics: "Now your name is tainted, by the claims they paintin'/The defendant is guilty, no one blames the plaintiff", since they were viewed as victim blaming referring to XXXTentacion's charges of domestic abuse, which were dismissed after he was murdered. A source close to West reported to Billboard that he: "is not defending XXX or referencing anyone in particular".{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/kanye-west-xxxtentacion-one-minute-lyrics-victim-blaming-video-song-collaboration-a8672971.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220524/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/kanye-west-xxxtentacion-one-minute-lyrics-victim-blaming-video-song-collaboration-a8672971.html |archive-date=2022-05-24 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Kanye West condemned for 'victim-blaming' lyrics in collaboration with XXXTentacion|website=The Independent|date=7 December 2018 |access-date=December 14, 2018}} Throughout West's verse, he raps about the court of public opinion.{{cite news|url=https://www.spin.com/2018/12/kanye-west-xxxtentacion-one-minute-lyrics/|title=Kanye West's Verse on XXXTentacion's New Album Is...
