Critical reception

[edit]

In a review of True 2 Myself on HipHopDX, Daniel Spielberger wrote, "Though 'Leaked' is a tad more upbeat, it's monotonous and fails to hit an emotional crescendo."[4]

Music video

[edit]

A music video for the remix was released on December 20, 2019 and was directed by Gil Green. It is set in a circus-themed carnival, where Lil Tjay and Lil Wayne have a party under a tent, surrounded by female dancers.[5]
