We reported last night that Lord Finesse is suing Mac Miller over the use of the "Hip 2 Da Game" instrumental on "Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza" off the K.I.D.S. mixtape. And at that time, we hadn't heard anything from Mac about the situation.

That all changed when the Pittsburgh native hopped on his Twitter account and unleashed a slew of tweets about it. Apparently he and Finesse spoke on the track and were cool about it and even have plans to work together in the future. Mac also notes that the original sample used by Finesse was never cleared and that he has no hard feelings about the situation.

You can read all of the tweets, which are in chronological order, below.

I'm supposed to be on hush but lemme speak on this real quick.
1. I made that record and video as nothing more than an 18 year old kid who wanted to rhyme and pay homage, no other intentions.
2. Finesse and I spoke on the phone for an hour after he heard the record and cleared the air. We even planned to work on music together
3. All I wanted to do is shed light on a generation that inspired me
5. Finesse never cleared the Oscar Peterson sample on the original record.
I did nothing wrong. We spoke on the phone had a good conversation, he was cool with the record.
It's all love tho. I ain't even mad at dude. He still a legend.
4. When I heard there was a problem, I reached out to him to try and solve it. No response.
Lord Finesse, thank you for what u did for hip hop. Thank you for bringing my favorite rapper into the game.
