In the world of hip-hop, misunderstandings and speculations often run rampant, and it seems that Lil Yachty has found himself in the midst of one such situation. Fans had recently speculated that Yachty had thrown shade at fellow rapper Lil Uzi Vert in a new song. However, the Atlanta-based artist took to social media to set the record straight.

The controversy began when a snippet of a piano-driven track, featuring Lil Yachty, emerged on Sound 42’s Table For One radio program on SiriusXM. In the snippet, Yachty could be heard referencing not being friends with Lil Uzi Vert, but the context seemed to have been edited out.

Yachty’s lyrics went, “Do the Right Thing like you’re friends with Mookie/No matter how bad they want to collab/I ain’t friends with U—.”

Following this snippet, fans took to social media to express their belief that Yachty was dissing Lil Uzi Vert. Fed up with the negative comments and misconceptions, Lil Yachty decided to address the situation directly on Twitter.

He clarified, “I didn’t diss him, I said we won’t collab because we’re not friends. We aren’t… we are cordial. Y’all are trippin’.”

Yachty expressed his frustration with the persistent misunderstandings, stating, “U guys r so delusional. [You] n*as go around living your life acting like u know us… st is od weird. Y’all be grown men too… on here tryna piece s**t together. Don’t be knowing nothing, get a job.”
