“’Judas’ was my favourite song when it came out originally, so I really wanted to cover it. I am beyond excited that it’s the first to drop from this project!” the rapper said in a statement, according to Just Jared.
“To me, ‘Judas’ is a love song about when someone does you dirty. I’ve sure had my experience with that. Who can’t relate?”
The first reimagined track, #Judas by the one and only @BigFreedia, is out now! https://t.co/KtGa98euiP pic.twitter.com/49DNDFRL3b
