Lil Yachty has announced he is taking a break from the internet after facing backlash over recent comments. The rapper made the decision following controversy surrounding remarks he made about Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud on Andrew Schulz’s podcast. During the podcast, Yachty expressed regret over his involvement in the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef.
He mentioned that Drake was “genuinely unfazed” by the situation. These comments quickly spread on social media, drawing criticism from fans and critics. In response, Yachty went on Instagram Live to declare his hiatus from the internet.
“I’m not doing no more talking,” Yachty said. “I’m gone off this internet s**t.
Lil Yachty’s internet break
I think I’m gone for the rest of the year. I swear to God. I ain’t got s**t else to say.”
Yachty faced additional backlash this week for admitting he leaked the “S.O.D. (Super Soak)” record, which used an uncleared sample from Mr.
HotSpot’s song “Goodness Gracious.” Fans were outraged that Yachty disregarded Mr. HotSpot’s decision not to clear the sample due to religious beliefs. Adding to the turmoil, Yachty confirmed he is no longer part of his group, Concrete Boys.
Fans noticed the removal of a key member from the group’s Instagram page and her absence from their recent performance at the Broccoli City Festival. The intense scrutiny and online backlash have clearly taken a toll on Yachty, leading to his decision to retreat from the digital world. Fans will have to wait and see if this internet hiatus will bring him some much-needed peace.
