Hip Hop fans weren’t quite in agreement on whether this was a smart move on Joey’s part. X is currently embroiled in a slew legal trouble stemming from his 2016 domestic violence case. Last month, he was arrested on 15 felony charges, including witness tampering.

Late Friday night (January 19), X shared a snippet new music on Instagram but it’s unclear where the song will actually wind up. In another post from last month, the 19-year-old claimed he was putting out three albums in 2018.

Countless people took to Twitter to chime in on the possible Joey-X collaboration. From shock and anger to anticipation and excitement, the reactions were all over the place.
