“Rap is his personal diary,” CyHi explained in regards to Kanye. “So however he interpreted it, that’s how he interpreted it. We were just in the room strategically talking about how we were gonna put out songs. I was just giving people my perspective of like, ‘Yo, I’ve had this feeling on certain records before, i.e. ‘Sicko Mode,'” and it went crazy. But you know how it is, they have friendly competition, so he was probably like, ‘Nah, this is the biggest!'
“I guess when I wrote it, it made Drake get on the song. But like I said, those guys man, they’re all extremely talented. When people say, ‘Are you a ghostwriter?’ – it’s not like I’m writing a song for someone who doesn’t know how to do it themselves. They’re telling you like, ‘Yo, I wanna say this, I want the cadence to go like this, I wanna do this.’ And in Travis’ defense, he had just had mouth surgery that day. So we were actually there kind of writing it together and I would just lay it for him so he could hear it.”
