What’s tea with the friendship?That’s the question continuing to sizzle online in regards to Ari Fletcher and Tuson.
Fans have assumed the besties are estranged after last week’s events. As previously reported, Tuson blasted the Remedy founder online for allegedly giving him a bogus $20,000 check for his birthday in July. The aspiring rapper spilled the estrangement tea in the description of a GoFundMe fundraiser, which to this day has raised only $400 of its $20K goal.
On Monday (August 26), Ari Fletcher took to X (formerly Twitter) with a post about how she moves. She implied that she makes calculated moves when necessary, adding that crashing out is “for rookies.”
“I’m not impulsive, I’m not no crash dummy, and I don’t fold under pressure. That sh*t for rookies. Don’t EVER think I ain’t coming,” Ari wrote.
Note that folks online have been waiting for Ari to clap back at the Tuson allegations. However, she has paid the incident DUST online since it first surfaced on August 21.
Though she didn’t mention any specific situation, some of her 2.8 million X followers slid into her comment section to congratulate her on her “growth.” Meanwhile, others called for her to address what Tuson said head-on.
Additionally, she shared a video on Instagram Stories rapping Latto’s new song, ‘Brokey.’
Meanwhile, Tuson stuck to his word and released his song ‘Lie 2 You’ on Friday (August 23). As previously reported, he first teased the track using its cover art on August 21. The art is a photo of the check Ari Fletcher gifted him with a large red stamp over it and the song title in bold, red lettering. In the caption, he suggested he’d be telling his “truth” and his “story,” refusing to “be silenced.”
However, after reviewing the track’s lyrics via streaming platforms, it appears Tuson didn’t directly address the Ari situation. In fact, he spent two minutes and 54 seconds popping off about being proud of himself, having his own clout, and clocking “b****es.”
“I be feelin’ like the man in that, b***h, I ain’t gon’ lie to you. Might send a text to myself, like, b***h, I’m proud of you. I took the rollie off today, I ain’t got time to lose. I ain’t step back behind that rope, lil’ b***h, you excused,” Tuson raps in the hook.
In a new post promoting the song on Sunday (August 25), his comment section suggested fans and curious listeners were not pleased.

“That was a bold move, risking losing followers that came because of Ari. I hope this don’t backfire and asked people for money,” @jennaaee expressed.
@orgbaee said, “Stop playing in our faces. This ain’t about Ari.”

Meanwhile, Tuson has already directly addressed social media critics calling him a “bad friend” for the fundraiser tea.
