isaac has been in the industry for years, his last label didn’t let him release songs or promote him, he started a few months as a totally independent artist but yeah let’s make him the bad guy for being upset that his song it’s been plagiarized for a girl that claims the credits https://t.co/4ZT8ruWB6e
