UPDATE

1:28 PM PT — ATL Jacob has responded to Tems‘ camp and is sticking to his side of the story — but it seems like he’s hurt the most about the Afrobeats megastar’s lack of reciprocation all the other times he sent love her way.

UPDATE

Future, Drake and Tems’ Grammy-winning smash is now centered in a bit of controversy — the song’s producer ATL Jacob is now being accused of lying about the song’s origins.

Tems’ manager Donawon has a huge issue with Jacob’s recent interview with the Baller Alert podcast, where he alleged Tems had a case of the grumps, and refused to clear their 2022 collab “Wait For U” to be released.

Jacob says he had to alert Drake, who then pressured Tems to get off her caboose and push the song out — but Donawon claims that’s pure fairytale, because none of it’s true.

The manager laid into Jacob and advised any of his closest peeps to get the producer’s head checked … because he thinks Jacob might be a pathological liar.

“Wait For U” shot straight to the top of the charts when it dropped, and has since been certified triple platinum.

The song’s a big deal, so everyone should have the facts straight. We reached out to ATL Jacob to see if he’s standing by his version … but no word back yet.
