Flvme Shares The Year-Long Fight Over His “Casino” Hook With AKA. Flvme has lifted the curtain on one of his most demanding studio marathons, revealing how the hook for AKA’s “Casino” became a test of patience, pride, and precision.
What sounded effortless on the final record was, in reality, the product of a creative tug of war that stretched across months, multiple sessions, and a final stand over one line that refused to settle.
Flvme recalled the turning points in vivid detail: “Because we had a fight at some point about it. We went to Gemini Major’s house, and I recorded the whole hook. The only line we were fighting about was my last bar. So I changed that bar for about 20 times, and he was still like nah. And I got so mad about that, and I was like, I’m going home, dawg, I’m exhausted.
“And then the few months after that, he called me, and it was the same day we actually dropped Red Light District. So I wake up because he (AKA) called me, he’s like Yo nigga I see you just dropped some music. When are you giving me my hook? I was like Look, I will give you this hook if you just allow me to just say whatever I want to say on that last bar. He said Okay, sharp, that’s how ‘Casino’ happened.” Flvme told the Showtime Chops.
What emerges is a snapshot of the standards that defined the collaboration. The first session at Gemini Major’s home studio laid the melodic foundation, but the last bar became a battleground. Flvme’s cadence and phrasing were there, his tone glued to the beat, yet the closer kept shifting to meet the relentless benchmark set by AKA. Two things can be true at once: AKA wanted a hook that could carry the record beyond the moment, and Flvme wanted authorship that felt honest. The result was a stalemate that needed time and distance.
That distance arrived on a day etched in Flvme’s memory by the release of “Red Light District.” The phone call from AKA cut through the silence, turning the conversation from conflict to completion. The exchange set a simple but revealing condition. If the last bar could be Flvme’s to call, the hook would be delivered. It was a nod to trust. It was also a final quality check that kept the spirit of the record intact.
