Lil Yachty is fighting back against critiques of one of his new songs — at least those critiques that accuse him of biting Playboi Carti‘s style.
On Wednesday (March 20), Lil Boat responded to a social media user who responded to a snippet of a new track, previewed by Kai Cenat, by saying: “Carti can’t try 1 new sound without rappers immediately biting him, he’s generational.”
The “Poland” rapper objected strongly to the idea that he’d taken inspiration from Carti.
“[H]ow did i bite him?” Yachty asked. “[T]he beat? if that’s the case i been workin with cardo since 2019-2020 on record yall fans be smoking the strongest dick.”

This accolade by the trade organization honors 500,000 album sales or equivalent units, which both packages have surpassed separately since their releases via Quality Control and Motown Records.
