Tink Details Details Struggles Working With Hitmaka After Their Break Up

Tink and Hitmaka have both made names for themselves in the music industry. They’ve scored individual success as artists. As a couple, though, things have been messy. Tink and Hitmaka parted ways in 2023 after reports that the former put hands on the latter. The nasty split spilled over to Instagram, where the two artists proceeded to air out each other’s dirty laundry and throw insults back and forth. Then, out of nowhere, Tink and Hitmaka decided to make amends. The duo decided to set their personal differences aside and focus on the music.

Tink detailed this interesting set up during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club. The singer was asked whether it’s been difficult work so intimately with an ex, and she was forthright. She told the hosts that her and Hitmaka were contractually obligated to work on an album together, so they were forced to put their feelings aside. “I had to take the emotion out of it,” the singer noted. “And we were already in a contract so there were obligations. Things were already in motion.” Tink’s album took a particularly long time to record, and a lot of it came down to the difficulty of working with someone that she had so much history with.

Tink Wrote Several Songs About Her Split From Hitmaka

“That process was different for me,” Tink explained. “It took a lot of maturity for me to get in that booth and for us to come to agreement on these songs.” The singer also admitted that certain days proved to be more difficult than others. In some instances, she needed to steer clear of Hitmaka entirely. “We had hard days where he had to walk out, and that’s just what it is,” she revealed. “I needed time away to get my mind together. I can’t look at you today, I can’t be around you, listening to what you want to say right now. “

Tink was asked which songs were about Hitmaka, in particular, but she preferred to keep the focus broad. She commended the producer for putting his ego and feelings aside to get the best possible album made. She did, however, admit that he was a point of reference during the songwriting stage. “I feel like the entire album could relate to him,” she opined. “I purposely waited to drop this album so it wasn’t 14 songs about one person.” Ultimately, though, the album is the product of both artists, and Tink is proud of it. “We went through a lot of turmoil,” she concluded. “So there’s a bit of him in a lot of these records. And he knows that, we worked on the album together.”

Tink Drops ‘Winter Diary 5’ Album Feat. Summer Walker, Skilla Baby and Jeremih

unnamed 24

Multi-talented R&B musician and lyricist, Tink, has delivered Winter’s Diary 5, the fifth installment of the mixtape series that propelled her to stardom. Guests on the album include Skilla Baby, NoCap, and Jeremih while production ranges from multi-platinum Hitmaka to Grammy nominated Bizness Boi and SkipOnDaBeat. With its release, Tink ignites excitement among her devoted followers who eagerly have anticipated the continuation of her acclaimed mixtape series. Since her breakthrough with Winter’s Diary over a decade ago, the singer-songwriter has continuously evolved her musicality while staying true to her roots in heartfelt r&b. From the chart-topping success of “Treat Me Like Somebody” in Winter’s Diary 2 to her inclusion in the XXL Freshman class of 2015, Tink has consistently pushed boundaries and redefined the genre.

Blessed with a profound gift to combine music and storytelling, Tink’s first single off the project, “Charged Up,” made prodigious use of her ability to weave a tapestry of emotion, inviting listeners into her world of love and self-discovery. “Pretty Girls” is sure to become a Tik Tok hit with beauty influencers while “Songs About U” features the certified platinum singer-songwriter Summer Walker. The relatable and richly detailed slow burner transports fans to a realm where heartache and desire sonically collide, commanding listeners to pay attention to their varying degrees of pain. Tink and Walker explore the subject of toxic love with raw emotion and melodic prowess expressing their own unique personalities, styles and attitudes. Together, they lament about the challenges associated with passionate relationships and sing their way through the depths of love’s labyrinth.

Tink & Summer Walker Have Difficulties Resisting Temptations On “Songs About U”

Tink and Summer Walker are having a hard time moving on from a lover on their new single “Songs About U”. This is the latest offering from the Illinois balladeer and singer’s forthcoming project, Winter’s Diary 5. It is the 29-year-old veteran’s halo series in her discography, and it is the one that jumpstarted her career. In fact, her first four releases were all Winter’s Diary titles.

However, this fifth one will be Tink’s first in eight years, so this fan-favorite entry is a big deal. This will supersede Thanks 4 Nothing, her 2023 tape that boasted features such as Ty Dolla $ign and Yung Bleu. Another reason that this project is big news is because of one producer in particular. That would happen to be Hitmaka, who had a tumultuous relationship with Tink for quite a while.

Listen To “Songs About U” By Tink & Summer Walker

Things got really ugly between them, including an alleged physical altercation in which Tink accused Hitmaka of, and one that the latter denied up and down. However, in one of the more recent updates, it seems they have smoothed things over enough to where they are comfortable working in the studio together. So far, Hitmaka has already produced two of the tracks, including this one. On this track, Tink recruits Summer Walker for a night of drinking that leads to them questioning if they want to get back with someone who was not really good for them. Coincidence? We think not.

What are your thoughts on “Songs About U” by Tink and Summer Walker? Is this the best promotional track from her upcoming tape, why or why not? Does this have you interested in what is to come on Winter’s Diary 5? Who had the stronger performance and why?

Quotable Lyrics:

Cause I’m drunk off love and I can’t gеt off of you
First, we fight, then we f*** and make up
Got me coming back to you
All this toxic energy keep getting the best of me
Lovers to enemies, thought that would always be (Always be)
Hit your phone in the club ‘cause I’m drunk

Summer Walker Announced Remixes Of ‘Girls Need Love’ With Victoria Monét, Tyla, And Tink For Its Anniversary

Summer Walker’s breakout single “Girls Need Love” changed the trajectory of the R&B singer’s career. Reaching No. 8 on the US Hot R&B Songs chart and racking up 5,000,000 RIAA-certified units, the hit song brought Walker to national attention and put her debut mixtape Last Day of Summer on the road to a No. 44 debut on the US Billboard 200 and a Gold certification. Today, Walker announced that to celebrate the mixtape’s fifth anniversary, she’s releasing a full collection of “Girls Need Love” remixes on October 20.

Girls Need Love (Girls Mix) will be released as an EP, complete with features from Victoria Monét, Tyla, and Tink, as well as an acoustic version. She shared the Apple Music exclusive video for the latter today as well. In it, she wears a Winnie The Pooh onesie as she performs in a sleepover-themed performance. All her bandmates also wear animal onesies as they play the groovy, stripped-down version of her breakout hit.

While Summer is focusing on celebrating the five-year anniversary of Last Day of Summer, she’s still working on new music. Most recently, she collaborated with fellow Atlanta R&B singer Usher on his new single “Good Good” and with Bakar on “Hell N Back.”

Girls Need Love (Girls Mix) is out 10/20 via LVRN and Interscope. You can pre-save it here.

Tink Spills Tea On Hitmaka Beef, Social Media Seemingly Takes His Side

Tink and Hitmaka have been making incredible R&B music together for years. Along the way, the creative duo also forged a romantic relationship. They’ve mostly kept their love life out of the public eye. However, this past weekend the Chicago native decided it was time to speak her truth. The “I’m The Catch” hitmaker told her Instagram followers on Sunday (September 10) that she put her hands on Hitmaka after a run-in in Cancun. Before long, the producer responded to the drama with more information, noting that he and Tink had broken up and that she was seemingly upset after spotting him out with another woman.

“Me and Tink. Me and Trinity. I’ma be honest with you. I love Trinity. We love each other. We’re going through a breakup,” Hitmaka explained. While he’s doing his best to keep the situation positive, his frequent collaborator clearly doesn’t view things the same way as him. “The same ni**a that y’all going to war over, he eats my a**. From the root up to the toot up,” Tink told viewers tuning in to yesterday’s Live.

“I been silent about our relationship, I been silent about us f**king,” she continued. “What happened last night, it wasn’t just about that, it’s a bunch of other things too,” Tink noted before breaking down the beef. According to her, Hitmaka has been moving differently with her for some time now due to her desire to work on a project by herself.

Seeing as her ex is her A&R, he has a lot of say over what she’s able to share creatively, causing major contention. Along with the musical drama, the 28-year-old said that the sound engineer is in his feelings over an alleged $2 million that she owes him.
