The producer Slim Jxmmi also helped out write the important line of the song "The Red Lobster".

During the Coachella meeting, Jxmmi came up with the line "if you fuck me good, I'll take your ass to Margiela" Soon, Mike Will handed the recording to Beyonce then turned it into her famous lyric "If you fuck me good, I'll take your ass to Red Lobster."  Mike Will explains the song was a combined effort between him, Pluss, Sremm and Beyonce while writing both phrases, she got inspired by what Jxmmi made. "Beyonce had already reached out to me to send some music and then I had sent a couple of ideas," Mike Will said during the Red Bull interview. Beyonce must have been a big Fan of Red Lobster since she changed Margiela to Red Lobster, while writing the other verses.
