Sure! Here is a rewritten version:
Lil Yachty showed no restraint when commenting on fellow rapper Rob49’s appearance, likening his looks to that of “a fish.” The bold statement was made during an episode of Lil Boat’s A Safe Place Podcast, which ironically didn’t live up to its name for Rob. When Rob inquired about how old he looked, Yachty initially responded with “You look young,” only to quickly add, “I was gonna say you kinda look like a fish.” Expanding on the unique comparison, Yachty elaborated that Rob resembled an Avatar. Understandably, Rob didn’t take the comment too well, threatening to retaliate, New Orleans style. The awkward exchange, which started amicably, can be viewed from the 29:30 mark onwards.
It’s worth noting that Lil Yachty doesn’t always engage in friendly banter or trash talk on his podcast. During a March episode with ScHoolboy Q, both artists were left in awe as they reflected on Lil Wayne’s remarkable album sales, especially the impressive sales of Tha Carter III, which reached a million despite being leaked and bootlegged months before its official release. The impact of Weezy’s music was further emphasized when Yachty expressed his amazement at the first-week sales of Weezy’s Rebirth album, stating, “That’s insane… He was Drake before Drake!”
In other news, Lil Yachty recently pushed back against a social media user who accused him of imitating Playboi Carti’s style. The accusation stemmed from a snippet of a new track by Carti that was shared by Kai Cenat. Defending his originality, Yachty questioned how he could be biting Carti’s style and pointed to their shared history of working with producer Cardo, dating back to 2019-2020.
As for his latest ventures, Lil Yachty has joined forces with UK rapper Nemzzz on their whimsical new single, ‘It’s Us,’ released on March 21, 2024. The single showcases a playful side to the “Poland” rapper as he continues to diversify his artistic collaborations and explore new sounds.
With his unfiltered opinions and dynamic career moves, Lil Yachty certainly knows how to keep himself in the spotlight!
