  • Lil Yachty Goes Off On Fan Who Interrupted Juice WRLD’s Moment Of Silence

    Lil Yachty Goes Off On Fan Who Interrupted Juice WRLD’s Moment Of Silence

    Lil Yachty didn’t take kindly to a fan who interrupted a moment and yelled at them. The rapper was on tour when he asked everyone to observe one minute of silence for the late Juice WRLD. However, Lil Yachty exploded and ranted when a member of the audience disturbed the silence. This is not the first time Yachty would explode after fans interrupted the minute of silence he requested for his late friend.

    Lil Yachty Explodes At Fan

    Lil Yachty wasn’t happy and exploded when a fan broke the sanctity of the one-minute silence he requested last week. He was performing in Washington DC as part of the lineup for Tyler, The Creator’s “Chromakopia” tour. While on stage, Yatchy asked fans to observe a moment of silence for Juice WRLD, who died in 2019. The latter passed at 21 from an accidental oxycodone overdose in Chicago. A fan shouted during the period meant to honor WRLD, and Lil Yachty went ballistic.

    The Get Dripped rapper yelled, “Shut the f**k up!” at the fan and ranted a bit before the audience. Eventually, he identified the culprit who disturbed the moment with help from the crowd. Lil Yachty then asked the audience to shame the fan by booing them, which the crowd did. The rapper’s Chromakopia tour with Tyler, The Creator also includes the alternative hip-hop duo Paris Texas.

    Lil Yachty Explains Moment Of Silence Rationale

    Lil Yachty’s angst against the fan on Friday mirrors his reaction to another fan who did the same in Pittsburgh. The One Night artist often asks members of his audience to observe a minute of silence for Juice WRLD. He met with the same disturbance on March 28 when a fan interrupted the moment of silence. Lil Yachty responded with the same anger and yelled at the fan responsible.

    Meanwhile, the rapper has not hidden his reason for always requesting a moment of silence for the late Billboard Music Award winner. In an interview shared on TikTok in 2024, Lil Yachty expressed his admiration for Juice WRLD. He opined that the late rapper was “really smart and really talented.”

    Lil Yachty added, “Rapping was something that he was extremely good at. He had a nice voice, he could sing and it didn’t take him long. It’s like he just painted it. I’ve never seen anything like it. He’s the first person I ever worked with musically that just literally, he made songs in one take.”

    Fans React To Lil Yachty and Fan’s Blowout

    After news of Lil Yachty’s explosion went viral, many fans reacted and justified the rapper’s reaction. A fan commented, “He should have kicked him out and don’t give him his money back me personally.” Another person said, “he did the same thing at our show, and it’s kinda valid. a moment of silence is a moment of silence for a reason.” “Having no respect for the dead or someone’s dead loved one is rude.,” a third fan said.

    However, some thought Lil Yachty’s reaction to the fan was over the top and uncalled for. They wondered why the Peek A Boo singer was still calling for reverence for his friend who died several years ago. “Them artists be high like the disrespect was unnecessary,” someone remarked. A second person said, “Way too much…” Another fan commented about Lil Yachty’s behavior, saying, “He’s So Made Over a DRUGGIE. A fourth fan asked, “What other song did he have besides seeing shadows in his room?”

  • Black Lives Matter Foundation Responds To Lil Yachty’s ‘Scam’ Comment

    Black Lives Matter Foundation Responds To Lil Yachty’s ‘Scam’ Comment

    Lil Yachty earned the ire of the Black Lives Matter organization when he called the foundation a scam. The rapper shared his inhibitions about the organization while appearing on a YouTube series. Lil Yachty claimed that Black Lives Matter founders stole money to enrich themselves, a statement the group refuted. The organization replied that it was focused on empowering black people and knocked Lil Yachty for repeating certain talking points.

    Black Lives Matter Fires Back At Lil Yachty

    Black Lives Matter has responded to Lil Yachty’s claims about the organization being a “scam.” It condemned the rapper’s remarks in a statement to Fox News,  saying, “It’s clear Lil Yachty has been drinking the white supremacist ideology Kool-Aid. His comments are wrong. They are misinformed, unoriginal, and crafted to please the same people who profit from Black suffering.”

    The statement added, “The real scam isn’t Black Lives Matter. It is watching Black artists with massive platforms recycle the same tired attacks on Black movements while ignoring the actual systems killing us. Black Lives Matter has supported Black families who have lost loved ones to police violence. We have built programs, funded mutual aid, and fought in courtrooms and on the streets to protect our people. BLM was never a scam, selling out your people for clout is.”

    Lil Yachty Blasts Black Lives Matter

    Black Lives Matter’s response to Lil Yachty was a reaction to the rapper’s comments about it embezzling funds. Yachty openly called the organization a “scam” on Quenline Blackwell’s popular Feeding Starving Celebrities YouTube series. Blackwell’s cooking series hosts celebrities, and during the episode, she asked Yachty how much he’s spent on charity this year. The Get Dripped rapper replied that the year was young, so Blackwell asked him about the last two years.

    “What about the year before last year?” she asked. Yachty responded, “Well, that year, yeah, that’s a good year. It’s just blurry because I be doing so much.” Blackwell then asked Lil Yachty about Black Lives Matter, saying, “BLM? Since you want to be so Black power?” However, he replied, “BLM is a scam.”  A shocked Blackwell said, “Clip that! Send it to the f***ing news!” The rapper then explained why he called the group a “scam.”

    “BLM was literally a scam. They had bought mansions, and you probably wouldn’t know anything about it because you don’t care about Black people and don’t follow Black news,” he quipped to his host. However, Blackwell dispelled the notion and responded that she does “care about Black people” and is “literally the most pro-Black person in this room.”

    Black Lives Matter Accused Of Misappropriation

    Lil Yachty didn’t entirely make up his comments about Black Lives Matter. The organization has faced great scrutiny for some time, with many allegations of misappropriation of funds. BLM came under fire in 2022 after New York Magazine exposed its $6 million California property purchase. The report said, “The California property was purchased for nearly $6 million in cash in October 2020 with money that had been donated to BLMGNF (Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation).”

    This sparked a significant backlash, prompting the organization to respond on X, formerly Twitter. It acknowledged the concerns about transparency and explained what it bought the property for. “There have been a lot of questions surrounding recent reports about the purchase of Creator’s House in California. Despite past efforts, BLMGNF recognizes that there is more work to do to increase transparency and ensure transitions in leadership are clear,” its official Twitter account replied.

    The BLM account added, “Despite past efforts, BLMGNF recognizes that there is more work to do to increase transparency and ensure transitions in leadership are clear.” A board member, Shalomyah Bowers, also emailed a statement to the New York Magazine reporter. She said that the organization purchased the property “with the intention for it to serve as housing and studio space for recipients of the Black Joy Creators Fellowship.”

    BLM announced this program the next day as providing “recording resources and dedicated space for Black creatives to launch content online and in real life focused on abolition, healing justice, urban agriculture and food justice, pop culture, activism, and politics.

    Lil Yachty’s opinion of Black Lives Matter shows that the organization has not redeemed its image in many people’s minds. However, many have conceded that the movement is great and only needs transparent and honest leaders.
