"Erika Jayne Stole My Song!" – Brooke Candy Breaks Silence on Oscar-Winning ‘Drip’ Drama

Did Erika Jayne Take Credit for Brooke Candy’s Hit Song in Oscar-Winning Film?

When Brooke Candy collaborated with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne, she didn’t expect to be sidelined. But now, the underground pop queen is speaking out—and she’s not holding back.

In a dramatic turn, Candy accuses Erika Jayne of overshadowing her on their shared track Drip, which later gained massive attention after being featured in the Oscar-winning film Anora.

The Truth Behind the Track: How ‘Drip’ Made It to the Oscars

A Star-Studded Track Born in 2019

Back in 2019, Brooke Candy released Drip, a bold and raunchy anthem on her album Sexorcism. The song featured none other than Erika Jayne, who sang the chorus. The track was a collaboration with big industry names like Charli XCX, Ashnikko, and Oscar Scheller.

Brooke worked hard to get the song featured in Anora—a gritty, darkly comedic indie film that went on to win Best Picture at the Oscars. This should have been a dream moment for the singer. Instead, she says it became a nightmare.

Jayne promoted the event on social media as a celebration of her song Drip, and according to Candy, didn’t even mention her in the original post. Only after being confronted did Erika edit the caption to include Candy’s name.

Why This Feels Personal for Brooke

After the incident, Brooke Candy opened up about how indie artists often get overshadowed when working with celebrities. “It’s already hard enough for artists like me to get credit. When someone with a massive platform takes the spotlight, it makes it even harder,” she shared.

She also gave props to the full creative team behind Drip—including Oscar Scheller, Ashnikko, Sega Bodega, and Jesse Saint John.
