In an interview with Complex, Wheezy stated he was working on many songs with Uzi for a month. "Strawberry Peels" was created through text messages, where he sent Uzi a beat the day before Uzi dropped the deluxe. Wheezy continued, "[they] just fell in love with it. I don't know about Gunna and Thug's process on that one, but I'm sure [they] just sent it and they knocked it out. What's crazy is that even though [artists] did deluxes back then, I do really feel like Uzi brought that back."McKinney, Jessica (December 23, 2020). "Wheezy's Big Year, in His Own Words". Complex.
On January 5, 2023, legal documents were obtained by TMZ Hip Hop that reported of Sun City Publishing suing Uzi, Gunna, Young Thug, and labels Atlantic and Generation Now for $1 million.
