In 2021, Cordae released a song called “Dream In Color,” which referenced Naomi Osaka. Unfortunately, Osaka’s fans didn’t gravitate towards how he spoke on their relationship. “My girl would forfeit a tennis match to meet my grandmama / Man, she truly a keeper (Huh)” he raps on the track. While it’s quite possible that Cordae was exaggerating to showcase Osaka’s love for him, many didn’t approve of Cordae bragging about Osaka prioritizing him over her tennis career — especially given the numerous hurdles she’s faced throughout her career.
Fans wasted zero time voicing their displeasure about Cordae’s word choice. “Why are you asking your girl to give up her match day and just not reschedule with your family? Don’t respect her career?” tweeted one concerned fan. A second fan chimed in, tweeting: “I cringed while reading this too, giving up her dream…?” The quote tweets on the original Complex Music tweet were even harsher.
