Rapper Jennie is officially back with a bang! Her new song ‘ExtraL’ has taken the internet by storm, and fans can’t stop praising her powerful vocals and catchy beats. The lyrics, however, have sparked a particularly interesting discussion. One line, in particular, has caught the attention of netizens and ignited speculation: “This is for my girls with no sponsors; they got their own fundin’.” Some fans have linked the lyrics to NJZ.

Did BLACKPINK’s Jennie Just Throw Support At NewJeans AKA NJZ In New Song ExtraL?
It’s a simple phrase; however, it has been interpreted by many as a potential shoutout to the members of NewJeans. Given the recent happenings with ADOR and NewJeans, where the group is navigating their careers and individual activities outside of their previous company structure, the timing of Jennie’s lyrics feels particularly relevant to many. Netizens have pointed out the parallels between the lyrics and NewJeans’ current situation. They are now essentially “without sponsors” in the traditional sense and are charting their own course and funding their own endeavours. The line about “their own fundin'” resonates with the idea of the members taking control of their careers and building their futures independently.

I think she mostly saying abt her members. Also how are u sure nwjns have no sponsor.” Well, its important to note that this interpretation is based on speculation. For the unversed, Newjeans changed their name to NJZ following a disagreement over their exclusivity contracts with their agency, ADOR. In November, they declared that they were ending their agreement with ADOR.
