Nitty Scott has accused Drake’s team of attempting to bribe her to break her silence to disclose damaging details about their former romantic partner, Kendrick Lamar.
Following her comments about Kendrick Lamar’s recent performance with SZA on the Grand National Tour, Scott got caught up in an increasingly heated social media discussion.
Given Lamar’s long-term relationship with Whitney Alford, the mother of his two children, critics labelled her “messy” for bringing up a past relationship with him, turning what had started as a light-hearted post into a serious controversy.
Nitty, however, responded to the criticism and defended her right to share her own experiences on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, April 21. She started,
“Nah, I let y’all go off for 10 years,” she began.

“If I wanna comment on MY little dating experiences, I will, & if I was looking for clout, I woulda dropped the sweetest tea you ever tasted a decade ago.
It’s still plenty, y’all don’t know. Stop paying attention to me & go away dennn,” she added, making it clear that her intentions were neither malicious nor opportunistic.
Additionally, she asserted that she has previously spoken with Alford and that they are friendly.
Fans were shocked by one discovery during the commentary: a social media user stated that Nitty had been given “big money” by Drake’s camp for revealing damaging information about Kendrick during their widely recognized rap rivalry, but she had declined.
“I actually really like her. She turned down big money from Drake’s team for messy tea about Kendrick during the battle and always speaks very highly of him.
I think she was just having a little fun and didn’t mean any harm,” the user wrote, with Nitty Scott resharing the post.
In a subsequent tweet, the 34-year-old seemed to reaffirm the sentiment and further distance herself from any attempts to disparage Lamar’s reputation.
“What happened last year around the battle? Now I’m imma make you CLOCK IT since you are a nitty Scott expert.
I did not speak on our relationship AT ALL last year except to defend KENDRICK’S GOOD NAME in direct response to ovhoes literally sending me accusations that he’s a cheater.”
For her part, Nitty Scott continues to maintain that her past with Kendrick Lamar is her story to tell—on her terms—and that clout-chasing was never on her agenda.
