Social media was recently in uproar when Lil Yachty briefly unfollowed Drake on Instagram, but followed him back shortly after. This move surprised fans given the close personal and professional bond between the two artists. The timing of this action was particularly interesting given that Drake is currently in the midst of several rap feuds, including a high-profile one with Kendrick Lamar.
Speculation was further fueled by fans linking Yachty’s unfollow to the impending release of Drake’s song “Supersoak.” The song originally featured Lil Yachty, who had leaked a version of it to Kai Cenat due to issues with the clearance of a sample. The sample’s owner, Mr. Hotspot, reportedly demanded a clean version of the track before granting his clearance. This led to a popular theory that Yachty’s brief unfollow was related to Drake’s decision to release “Supersoak” without him. Yachty hinted at this possibility in a recent podcast, where he also expressed regret over his comments regarding Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar. His remarks drew backlash from Drake’s fanbase and cast doubt on their friendship.
Meanwhile, Lil Yachty has also been dealing with other controversies. Earlier this year, he sparked a debate about fashion trends between Atlanta and New York, which led to Jim Jones challenging him to a “fashion battle.” Despite these challenges, Yachty remains known for his outspoken and honest views on culture. Whether the drama surrounding Drake’s unfollowing and following is a minor issue or something more significant, Yachty’s vibrant personality ensures that he remains in the public eye and his fans closely follow his every move.
