Circo Loco
"Circo Loco" is Her Loss's most controversial track, its second single, built on a slowed-and-chopped sample and interpolation of Daft Punk's 'One More Time' produced by Boi-1da and Tay Keith with 40 as additional producer. Drake raps about his sex life, claims he only joined Kanye West's Larry Hoover benefit concert to appease James Prince, and delivers a line widely read as a barbed allusion to Megan Thee Stallion's 2020 shooting by Tory Lanez, which drew immediate public backlash. 21 Savage threatens his enemies. Megan publicly condemned the song; Lil Yachty, a credited songwriter, claimed on Instagram Live the line was about women lying about cosmetic surgery, not Megan. Critics were largely negative, panning both the Daft Punk flip and the Megan bars.
