“Absolutely not throwing shade @Tyga (I’m not the shade throwing type) as u might remember from my TMurda ‘further exploration’ video I have trouble saying his name right & I was nervous. I was hosting a live show. I was fighting in my head cause I was so scared I would say it the wrong way. That would have been awful. Saw him as he came off stage and there was nothing but love. You rock Tyga,” Tracee added, explaining about her rap alter ego TMurda.
