Controversy

The controversy of this song is that De La Ghetto wearing a Dominican hat, which some Dominican took as indirect shot at them. Other aspect of the song was Baby Rasta's verse, which cause controversy between the word he used, "trili", which means lower class people in Puerto Rican slang. Many took the word to be "trini", referring to the Dominicans living in New York, which is true. Dominican hip hop artist Vakero did a diss track to Baby Rasta because of this. Baby Rasta released a video stating he will not respond, but in a radio interview threatened to crack Vakero's head open when he saw him.
