 Days before Halloween, a video clip popped up on the Internet of Atlanta rapper Diamond getting her car repossessed while on set of a Young Money music video shoot.
While details about the situation were unknown at the time, all that was seen in the clip (via WorldStarHipHop) is two men taking the rapper's brand new, yellow Chevy Camaro in front of everyone on set.
Diamond looked understandably embarrassed.
However, days later, the female rapper hopped on the Internet with a video herself, in which she explains what took place. While in the dealership with her boyfriend Lil Scrappy, the couple reveal that the problem was simply a "computer glitch."
In the clip, Diamond puts a man from the dealership on camera, who sets things straight.
"It was just a glitch in the system, everything's cool with Diamond's car. She just bought it," says the unnamed employee at the car dealership. "There was no back payments or anything like that, we just had a little mess-up in our computer system. All that's fixed, we got the paperwork done."
At the end of the clip, Diamond shows off the paperwork, and makes it clear she's not having any money problems.
In a second clip (watch it here), Diamond and a friend show off the yellow Camaro, as well as another exact model in white, both of which she says she owns."For all the haters, look at my baby right here," Diamond says in the video, pointing at both vehicles. "All the bullsh** y'all talking about, it's irrelevant. I got one, $20,000 ... and a white one, another $20,000."
Aside from the car mix-up, Diamond is working on music, and responds to critics and naysayers on a new track, titled "Shots Fired," the first to leak off her upcoming mixtape Cocaine Waitress.

According to the rapper, the new song is a way to express her feelings over all the hate she's been hearing about herself. "This record was just a release for me. I was able to say all the things that had been building up inside, and just the space to really breathe," Diamond explains.
Despite the car situation, Diamond says she's moving forward, whether you believe her or not.
"At the end of the day, I've done everything to present the truth to the public," she said. "They'll chose to see the truth, or they'll run with what's more entertaining, either way I'm moving forward."
