who served as → who was a
Regarding the genre of the songs the dancehall is according to Idolator is "dancehall-tinged", so the track is heavily influenced by it and not a genre. Gay Times also claims the same for the reggae beat, "Reggae-tinged", however the Guardian author says "Future is her go at pop’s next big trend, roots reggae", so change reggae to roots reggae + wikilik. Nevetherless, if you can find sources claiming the afomerementioned genres they can stay.

Moreover, these three source add to the genre of the song. bobbing reggae and dancehall flavour → influence, with EW calling it a "dancehall jam". The Idolator review of Madame X also cails it " dancehall-lite", so I'm sure its influenced by dancehall
Writing for Gay Times, → positive review
