Update: DJ Mustard has responded to the claims that Ella Mai was the one who hadJacquees'"Trip" remix removed from the Internet.
On Twitter, Mustard defended Ella Mai, saying he was the one who made the decisionto pull Jacquess' remix. (Ella is signed to Mustard's 10 Summers Records label.)
Singer Jacquees recently released the "Trip Remix" a reworking ofbreakout R&B star, Ella Mai's "Trip," and the latest "Quemix" addition to his string of remakes.
When Jacquees' remix began receiving more online attention than the original, he was reportedly forced to remove it from YouTube and SoundCloud.
Though he claims he has not earned money from posting the song, the artist was reportedly sent a cease and desist order to have it pulled from all platforms.
T-Pain also chimed in once fans questioned why Mai's team would sue Jacquees for remixing one of her songs, and not T-Pain, who famously remixed her hit "Boo'd Up" in July. T-Pain explained that he doesn't post his remixes onto official streaming services like Apple, Spotify, and Tidal as to avoid any legal issues. Jacquees posted his Mai remix on SoundCloud and YouTube.
Fans shared their own reactions to the remix news as well.

\u201cI forget that everyone isn\u2019t in the industry so they don\u2019t know things. Y\u2019all know Ella Mai did not personally make Jacquees take down his \u201cTrip\u201d remix, right? She\u2019s signed to a whole ass label. They do that with or without her permission.\u201d
