OG Maco Calls 'U Guessed It' "Trash" After Beyoncé Video Concept Accusations

During a newly-published interview with Vlad TV, OG Maco spoke on the track that catapulted him into the mainstream, "U Guessed It." He called the song "trash" after accusing Beyoncé of stealing the video concept for his major debut.

As noted by HipHopDX, the Atlanta rapper stated that the song had "a trash-ass beat." He also added that it was on a whim that he chose to make the song.

"It is," he said when asked about calling "U Guessed It" trash in a past interview. "I mean, my catalog explains itself. People keep asking me what's my next, hit song. It's like 85 of them on my f*ckin' Soundcloud. You just wait on the world to stop being stupid. But at some point-At that point in my life when 'U Guessed It' [came out] I was tired of waiting for 'em right then...By the time I made 'U Guessed It' that was like my seventh mixtape. Who has heard the other six before that? Not too many people. That was my seventh mixtape. I was like 'Man, look bro, I'm really good on all this sh*t. I'm just gonna make this random ass hit.' And I had more amazing music that I was making at the exact same time...'U Guessed It' was a sh*t beat. It was a trash-ass beat. The lyrics were great only for the simple fact that it was direct."

Back in November, Maco made headlines when he accused Beyoncé of stealing his video concept for her visual for "7/11" off her Beyoncé Platinum Edition album.

"Beyoncé takes my video concept? Yall act like I'm 'irrelevant' and it didn't happen. 12 million views of irrelevant. Sure," he tweeted.

Maco seems to be pretty confident as far as his future in the rap game. He also discussed meeting Def Jam Records co-founder, Rick Rubin, and rappers he considers to be his competition.

"I'm competing with 'Ye and Drake and Kendrick and sh*t," OG Maco said. "I'm not competing with all these new ass artists...Rick f*ck with my music. My boy Pablo Dylan, good friend of mine. We been making a bunch of music together. He told Rick I was making amazing music with him. Hit my people up, flew me out. Talked about a lot of stuff. Talked about a lot of music. Me, him, and James Blake played a few records. He liked what he heard."
