In a commentary posted on his social media, the popular artist addressed the rumors about his diminished music activity and the belief that he has been rejecting collaborations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a lot of people either think I don\u2019t want to do a song with them or that I don\u2019t mess with them. Honestly, I just haven\u2019t been in the studio like that this year,\u201d<\/em> he explained.<\/p>\n

Priddy Ugly noted that his life outside of music has required significant focus, leaving him with little capacity for studio work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just been handling real life matters and haven\u2019t really been in a music-making space. I promise y\u2019all I\u2019m gonna tap back in. Slowly finding the energy to lock back in. Thank you for your patience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Even with his break from studio work, the rapper indicated that he possesses a substantial amount of unreleased music ready for listeners.<\/p>\n

\u201cTons of music on the hard drive. If y\u2019all really want it, Ima need y\u2019all to call me out for real, for real,\u201d<\/em> he shared, suggesting that many tracks are already finished.<\/p>\n

In another message, Priddy Ugly reflected on the emotional commitment now involved in his music-making process. He conveyed that recording has become a thoughtful endeavor and called on collaborators to respect his artistry appropriately.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think y\u2019all understand what it takes for me to do a verse or get into the studio to record these days. If I somehow manage to get in the booth and record a verse for you and you don\u2019t treat it with care and honour, you\u2019re actually really disrespecting my time and effort.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The artist disclosed that he has recorded numerous verses for other musicians that either never saw the light of day or were not treated with the consideration he feels they warranted. While he recognizes that industry dynamics may affect release decisions, he emphasized the need for respect towards the creative process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not bitter,\u201d<\/em> he remarked, and directly appealed to his audience: \u201cPlease, RESPECT MY WORK.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
