He shared that he first found out about the incident after he encountered fans of the singer who were unboxing videos, trying to decipher his lyrics and wondering if they were from Swift.He added, “I didn’t see any of that kind of stuff, and when it was brought up to me, I was just like, ‘What’s going on? This is just weird.’ That’s the cover of my new record that hasn’t been released yet. Unlike the old stuff that was just sitting around they decided to make the packaging material. This is my new record. I just don’t understand how something like that can happen.”He also made it clear that he doesn’t blame Swift or his team for the issue, as he himself doesn’t know what exactly happened.
