Lil Yachty’s recent surprise release of three new tracks has stirred up quite the buzz, but not all of it is positive.
One of the songs, “We Ball Forever,” has come under fire from Curtis Williams, an Atlanta rapper, who claims that Yachty copied his style. Williams, a former member of the ATL rap group Two-9, pointed out similarities between his work and Yachty’s, particularly the use of a fisheye lens in their music videos.
Williams made his accusation known on social media, posting a side-by-side comparison of his video and Yachty’s. He accompanied the post with a telling caption, “LMAO COME ON NOW,” adding multiple crying face emojis for emphasis. He didn’t stop there, taking his discontent straight to Yachty’s Instagram in the form of more emojis.
As of now, Lil Yachty has remained silent on the accusation, but this isn’t his first brush with controversy. Recently, he was involved in a heated argument with his former artist Karrahbooo. Yachty accused her of lying about being bullied and claimed he wrote all her raps, even criticizing her publicly on Instagram Live.
Karrahbooo fired back, challenging him to prove his claims, and accused him of bullying her. She shared her most streamed songs as evidence of her success, implying she doesn’t need Yachty to shine. This public back-and-forth reveals ongoing tensions in Yachty’s professional circles.
While fans enjoy the new tracks, the drama surrounding Lil Yachty continues to unfold, leaving everyone wondering how the rapper will respond to these fresh allegations.
