When Jay Electronica appeared on Sundial, Noname faced backlash from fans for his bars being antisemitic. In response, she refused to apologize. “I’m not going to apologize for a verse I didn’t write," she said at the time. "I’m not going to apologize for including it on my album. If you feel I’m wrong for including that’s fair. Don’t listen. Unfollow and support all the other amazing rappers putting out dope music. Your disappointment truly means absolutely nothing to me and I say that with love.” Check out the announcement for Jay Electronica's next album above.
