Yes.

Tone: "Another good record and another good story. Steve Stoute was head of black music over at Interscope and at the time we were still his guys. He wanted a remix so we went in and knocked the remix out. I remember Mya couldn't cut the vocals properly and it took forever. When it was done, we wanted Jay-Z on it.

"So Jay came to the studio that night at The Hit Factory. He got it right away he understood what it was but he didn't like Mya's vibe in the room. He looked at her like she was a spoiled brat because she was. He looked at her like, 'I'm about to rap on your record, you're about to have a hit, and I don't think you really appreciate it.'

"She was like this new artist on Interscope, she didn't even really understand what was going on. So he didn't do the record when he got there. Once again, he gave a preview of what it was gonna sound like, but he didn't do the record because he didn't feel like it.

"So he left and we had to tell Mya like, 'Yo Mya, Jay wants to do the record but he feels like you're not even giving him any love, like no thank you or none of that.' But that's just her personality. So we went to L.A. for some music awards were around that time and we had one more shot at getting Jay to come to the studio.

"And obviously Jay came in and Mya was more cordial towards Jay. He laid the rhyme down, Steve asked for a shoutout, and that's basically it. That's a good record and Jay-Z charged her through the nose for it."

Mya's version of the story is different but whatever.
