The singer recently found herself under fire after the song recently resurfaced, with many fans calling her out for using the word in the line: “You swear to god you ain’t f**king with a n**ga.”

Dua then took to Twitter to apologize to her fans, writing: “In relation to my 2014 cover I never meant to offend or upset anyone. I didnt say the full word but I can admit I shouldnt have gone there at all and that a different word could’ve been recorded altogether to avoid offense and confusion. I wasn’t thinking it through at the time.”
She later tweeted: “I always stand up for social justice and I am very sorry to anyone that I have offended x.”
