Did you see what happened with LMJupdates and Lucy on twitter? People are saying "Universe" by Ty Dolla $ign is about Lauren because she has writing credits on BMI for the song and on Genius its says J. Lauren. what do you think?
I don’t think its about Lauren. It’s more so about being grateful with the universe. Kehlani and Lauren are very in-tuned and the song was clearly co-written by more than one person. That’s how songwriting works when you have an artist under a label. They have a bunch of people brainstorming and tossing ideas around for one artist. You have the amazing (Ashley Parrish) Kehlani, Tyrone-asurus, Dana Roberts, David Doman, Justin Thomas, and then Lauren. It seems like Lauren has a thing for songwriting and most likely was reached out to by Kehlani since she’s a featured artist on the song. Not just that, but it was probably also slight compensation for the PR that she went through with him as BMI writers get 28.25% credit. Songwriters get paid more than/ equal to depending on the situation as the artist but are rarely ever given credit for songs that become popular. Now as far as LMJUpdates, it’s to be expected. Fan update accounts with massive followings are niche, they’re not run by professionals, they’re run by fans who have individual biases that persuade their actions. With that being said that person saw an opportunity to make false rumors. Was it on purpose? Were they paid to do it? Don’t know, but what I do know is they most likely used to ship Laucy or had some pent up excitement and seized an opportunity to unfortunately express it. Let’s say they did do it on purpose— then there would be a good reason they did it afterwards.
