@MrElleSA speculated:

"The real reason why she couldn't spit: she realised it's a Pro beat. And she's nowhere near Pro level. She thought about her best 16.. and it's nowhere near Pro level. So she was like nah, that's suicide. Rather, they diss me for not spitting 🥹"

@LibraYono was unimpressed:

"Why is she calling herself a “YN”, when she's not American and not in America?!"
