Who want the smoke?” The innocent request quickly circulated on social media, and since then, people have been weighing in with their opinions. Let’s just say, not everyone has been kind.
“Ray J wants to do an IG live battle, and I say let ’em. He can play ‘Wait A Minute’ and clear the place out,” one Twitter user wrote. Another added, “Not everybody that’s in the music scene deserve a battle. Romeo, Bow Wow, Lil Salt Shaker, mixed paprika smoke or emcee basura go beat for beat or bar for bar. Let’s cut the bulls**t people. ???♂️.”
