Controversy
Record producer TM88 claimed on his Twitter account that he did not get credited for his alleged work on "Bounce Back", due to producing a song with one of the same producers on the song, "Smash David", on another song released earlier called "Act" by Juicy J, with the same beat elements and composition in that song that was used for "Bounce Back". TM88 later dissed all of the producers on the song except Metro Boomin, who TM88 called "his brother", since they had collaborated numerous times before.
