Tinashe Reveals That She Wrote Jennifer Lopez's "I Luh Ya Papi"

Jennifer Lopez's comeback single "I Luh Ya Papi" was apparently written by Tinashe.

Well, this is rather surprising. Tinashe (who prior to this, had no experience as a ghostwriter for pop stars) has revealed that she originally wrote Jennifer Lopez's comeback single "I Luh Ya Papi."

In a new article published by FADER, Matthew Trammell recounts how Tinashe visited the office yesterday and spilled the beans. On the song's origins, she said:

"It wasn’t 'Papi' at first, it was 'I Luh You Nigga,' like, 'I luh ya luh ya luh ya nigga.' They switched the swag up a little bit! It was intended for Aquarius and everything. Then Detail was in a session with J. Lo and he played her the track, because you know these producers sometimes, they’re like 'Yo, lemme play you my hot shit!' I guess she obviously really liked it, and she cut her version. One day Detail calls me and is like 'B-T-dubs, J. Lo is singing that song.' I didn’t believe it at first, I thought he was just not trying to give it to me for some reason. I was like 'J. Lo does not want that song, she’s not gonna sing that.' And then it came out. I guess she wanted it."
