In 2016, after all the accusations of being anti-black due to her comment towards BLM, she took a few minutes to reflect on Boyz during a conversation with The Fader:
"No, every record I make is about equal appreciation of all cultures, unified and layered so they co-exist. Purely to reflect that, actually, co-existing can be possible. And I think this is why it was really important, for example, on a track like “Boyz,” to take a 2,000 year old drum beat, which is called “dupping.” […] I took it to Jamaica, and they loved the rhythm, and they got on it, and then you took that back to [other countries], and then took it here and there….I just learned that as a human being, people connect to shit."
