For much of her career the gifted UK rapper Little Simz has been working with a single collaborator, producer Inflo. Simz and Inflo met at St. Mary’s Youth Club when they were both kids, and Inflo has been essentially the sole producer of Simz’ last three albums, including the Mercury Prize-winning 2021 breakout Sometimes I Might Be Introvert. That relationship has dissolved dramatically. Last month, we learned that Simz is suing Inflo for refusing to repay a personal loan worth $2.2 million. Now, she’s talking about it.

Little Simz has opened up about filing a lawsuit against her former producer Inflo, saying she was “really frustrated and hurt”.
