"Dirty Iyanna" on YouTube |
"Dirty Iyanna" is a song by American rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again. It is a flip of Michael Jackson's 1988 chart-topper "Dirty Diana" and a diss toward Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his daughter Iyanna Mayweather, the mother of his child. The song was released on December 12, 2019, and was produced by Nick Seeley and CashMoneyAP.[1][2]
Background
"Dirty Iyanna" was released following a breakup between YoungBoy and Iyanna.[2][3]
Composition
The track both samples and interpolates Michael Jackson's 1988, "Dirty Diana" as YoungBoy carries out Michael's flow, however, he speaks about things that have allegedly happened in their relationship while swapping "Dianna" for "Iyanna".[4] The track was described as "rock-fused" by Billboard's Michael Saponara.[5]
Music video
The music video was released alongside the single. Directed by LouieKnows, the video sees Iyanna in a mask slashing the tires and throwing a rock at YoungBoy's car, which allegedly happened months before. Furthermore, it sees Iyanna being sneaky and "dirty" as she disrespects YoungBoy's space.[5][6]
