Social media was abuzz recently when Lil Yachty briefly unfollowed Drake on Instagram, only to follow him again shortly after. This move caught fans off guard, given the close personal and professional bond between the two artists. The timing of this action was particularly intriguing, as Drake is currently in the midst of several rap feuds, including a high-profile one with Kendrick Lamar.
Adding to the speculation, fans connected Yachty’s unfollow to the upcoming release of Drake’s track “Supersoak.” Originally, this song featured Lil Yachty, who had leaked a version of it to Kai Cenat due to issues with clearing a sample. The sample’s owner, Mr. Hotspot, reportedly required a clean version of the track before granting approval. 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 on a recent podcast, where he also expressed regret over his comments about Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar. His remarks led to backlash from Drake’s fanbase, casting doubt on their friendship.
Meanwhile, Lil Yachty has also been dealing with other controversies. Earlier this year, he ignited a debate about fashion styles between Atlanta and New York, resulting in Jim Jones challenging him to a “fashion battle.” Despite these challenges, Yachty remains known for his outspoken and candid views on culture. Whether the unfollow and follow drama with Drake is a minor issue or something more significant, Yachty’s vibrant personality ensures he stays in the public eye, with fans keenly following his every move.
