Tate McRae may have made the aftermath of her breakup with The Kid LAROI messier.<\/p>\n

The “Greedy” singer, who split from the “Blessings” rapper in July following a year of dating, released a new single titled “Tit For Tat” Sept. 26\u2014and fans are suspecting it’s about their breakup.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day I met you, boy, I thought it was a blessing \/ In the heat of it, I always took your side,\u201d she sang on the track. \u201cIt’s a shame you out here tryna make it messy \/ Wow, you’re messy, damn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tate continued, \u201cLet’s go song for song, let’s go back to back \/ Let’s go tit for tat, boy, you asked for that \/ That’s the best you got, where’s the good one at? \/ I was never as far away as you thought.\u201d<\/p>\n

And if the lyrics weren\u2019t cryptic enough, the feisty number was released just three weeks after LAROI (real name Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard) dropped his breakup song “A Cold Play,\u201d in which he rapped about wishing he could fix someone.<\/p>\n

More from E! Online<\/p>\n

Tate seemingly alluded to LAROI\u2019s lyrics on her track, singing in the bridge, \u201cLet’s go song for song, let’s go back to back \/ Fix your f–king self, kiss my a– for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Needless to say, fans were connecting the dots. As one user on X (formerly Twitter) put it<\/a>, “rip laroi. he ain\u2019t dead but tate mcrae just destroyed him in tit for tat.”<\/p>\n

However, LAROI has denied there\u2019s bad blood between himself and Tate.<\/p>\n

\u201cTate and I are on good terms,\u201d he wrote in a text message<\/a> to his team, per a screenshot he posted to X in July after he was accused of shading his ex online. \u201cAnd this just looks messy \/ whack.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Australian emcee also said he had \u201cNOTHING to do\u201d with online criticism against Tate in the wake of their split.<\/p>\n

\u201cI DO NOT co sign this behavior whatsoever,\u201d he wrote on X, adding that he was \u201cworking to get\u201d hate messages about the So You Think You Can Dance alum removed.<\/p>\n
