Lil Yachty is facing intense backlash after previewing an unreleased track containing a controversial George Floyd lyric.

Full story below…

The incident unfolded on August 14 during the Georgia rapper’s appearance on Plaqueboymax’s livestream.

Around the 43 minute mark, Yatchy encouraged the host to play the song part of his upcoming ‘It’s Us Vol. 2’ project and mouthed along to the lyrics.

Controversy erupted when listeners caught the line:

“Put my knee on her neck, I went George Floyd.”

Social media swiftly lit up with criticism, with many accusing Yatchy of disrespecting Floyd’s memory and the movement his killing helped galvanize.

Floyd’s death in May 2020 was caused by ex-Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin when he knelt on his neck for over nine minutes. This sparked global protests against police brutality and fueled the Black Lives Matter movement.

The uproar also reignited attention on Yatchy’s past comments dismissing BLM as a “scam” remarks he made during an appearance on Quenlin Blackwell’s ‘Feeding Starving Celebrities’ series.

Has the controversy cast a shadow over the release of ‘It’s Us Vol. 2?’
