Background[edit]

Rapper Quavo originally had a verse on the song, but it was removed which faced backlash from critics and fans.[1] A version of Fuk Sumn with Quavo's verse was played at a listening party in Arizona.

Critical reception[edit]

The song received generally favorable reviews. Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX wrote that Ty Dolla Sign's crooning on the song is "standout".[2] Aron A. of HotNewHipHop considered Playboi Carti's feature one of two "stellar performances" on Vultures 1 (along with his appearance on "Carnival"), stating that "Evolving his delivery from a deeper register adds a level of curiosity to his flow." He also described Carti asking "Shawty wanna fuck?" on the song as "almost whimsically inquisitive".[3] Fred Thomas of AllMusic commented that Playboi Carti and Travis Scott "add personality to the eerie, nocturnal bump of 'FUK SUMN.'"[4]
