Camila Cabello was warned by Playboi Carti not to work with him because he was a mysterious person.

Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, she said: “I DMed him. Well, I feel like my state of mind throughout this whole process was, first of all, a closed mouth is not going to be fed. And… A lot of times, people were like, “No way…he's mysterious or whatever,” and I was like, “You know what? I'll just DM him.”
I said, “Hey, Butterfly.” Then he said “CC” and I said “Carti”. It was really cute. ”
The two hit it off in the studio, with Playboy (real name Jordan Carter) reciting poetry while drinking Don Julio tequila.
She continued: “It was very real. And he spends a lot of time in Miami and Atlanta, so we talked about Miami. Yeah, I think we just started talking, And I think he really loved the visual stuff that I thought.'' I was just like, “Hey, come on. Let's hang out. Let me play some music.'' And I played him this song, because me and Pablo and Jasper thought he would be so grossed out by it, and we really thought he would like it. , and he really was. And we have a similar way of working, and for me, my writing process is kind of freestyle and we work from there. But yeah, he just came into the booth and we were so excited and we're drinking Don Julio and it was just sick. ”
“I Luv It” was released this week in advance of her upcoming album, “C, XOXO.”
