Jermaine Dupri denies that he fumbled the bag when it came to Latto and said he did what he was contractually obligated to do after she won The Rap Game.
“People keep saying, ‘Jermaine, you dropped the ball on [Latto],'” he told XXL. “But what people don’t understand is, I put Latto’s record out. The deal was, if you win on The Rap Game, you get a single from Jermaine Dupri. So that single came out.”
