"She keep mixing business with pleasure and thats her problem" - say netizens about Tink

The video posted on November 23 showed the pair together as the singer discussed her relationship with the producer where she said:

"I think people don't understand that it is a business relationship. So in the midst of you making posts and everything. People need to know that on top of a lot it's a business relationship. I don't want no negativity. Yo I really want peace, it's thanksgiving, it's a holiday season."

Many netizens went on to make comments on Tink's claims of them having a business relationship. Some even pointed out that the relationship between the two was very un-business relationship-like. Many netizens were not convinced of Tink's claims of both being involved in a business relationship.

On September 9, Tink went on an Instagram live and explained to her audience that the two had allegedly broken up. She also explained that the two coincidentally ended up in the same restaurant and got into a verbal spat after which Tink went on to admit that although she got "physical" with Hitmaka, he didn't lay a hand on her.

However, the recent video has fans believing otherwise, while some disapproved of them allegedly getting back together.

According to Hot New Hip Hop, the singer and producer first met when they first worked on Tink's summer-themed album, Heat of the Moment in 2021. Although their professional collaborations were public, their personal dating life was just revealed recently in September when the two got into a spat online.

Hitmaka has a dating history where domestic abuse has been prevalent. An ex-girlfriend, Masika Kalysha in 2014 had told the police that the producer had flown into a drunken rage after his card was declined in New York's Gershwin Hotel, and had grabbed her by the neck, threw her to the floor, and hit her.
