After some fans felt personally attacked by the lyrics of her viral hit, “ Brokey ,” the rapper decided to issue a challenge to offset the backlash.

“I hate that y’all think I was calling hard workers brokeys,” she tweeted on Sunday (Sept. 15). “So I got $10k for whoever make the best video at they job to brokey & I’ll fly u out to be in the music video…no mo waiting til ur bday to go outta town. Tag me & hashtag #Brokey, so I can see them all.”

One felt she was doubling down on calling her fans broke as they responded , “‘no mo waiting til ur bday to go outta town’ is so back handed.” To which Latto laughed, commenting, “Just a jokey.”

Another teased , “If they fire me, can we break up the $10k bi weekly til I find me another job?” Elsewhere, someone joked , “This gon get people fired and then they’ll be #brokey fr. But for $10K I might have to do a lil sumn on that lunch break okayyyy.”

Some have already began taking the challenge semi-seriously and even Queen Naija praised Latto for her initiative. “Now this is dope,” the songstress tweeted .

There’s currently no deadline to submit a video for Latto’s “Brokey” challenge.

This isn’t the first time Latto has had to address lyrics and the commentary that followed. On “Settle Down,” the 25-year-old rapped, “Lay a ho down and lay up with a savage,” and many assumed that she was revealing her secret boyfriend as 21 Savage.

Yet, Latto quickly clarified in a conversation with Ebro Darden, “The internet don’t know a goddamn thing, let’s start there. I like being private. It ain’t really nobody’s business. Listen to the music and you’ll know what you need to know.” Of her relationship, she previously told Cosmo , “My privacy is more important [than seeing him in the crowd]. I can’t have people putting two and two together.”
