In a heated 10-minute rant on Thursday evening, rapper Lil Yachty shocked fans by publicly severing ties with his best friend Mitch and former artist Karrahboo. The rant comes after a viral clip from Yachty’s podcast, A Safe Place, where Yachty appeared to disrespect Mitch, leading to a wave of backlash and ultimately the end of their friendship and podcast collaboration.
Lil Yachty, known for his catchy tunes and vibrant personality, did not hold back as he explained his side of the story. He was clearly frustrated, feeling that Mitch should have stepped in to clarify the situation after the clip went viral. Yachty questioned Mitch’s loyalty and purpose, saying, “I trusted you, but you didn’t defend me when it mattered.” This lack of support led Yachty to make the tough decision to end both their friendship and the podcast they co-hosted.
“I changed your mother fing life and you are here lying, talking about some: ‘we bully you’. That s got me f***ed up, bro,” Yachty said.
But the drama didn’t stop there. Yachty also addressed his fallout with former artist Karrahboo, who was once signed to his label, Concrete Boys. Rumors had been circulating for weeks about her sudden departure, and Yachty decided to set the record straight. He accused Karrahboo of verbally abusing people, including his security guard. “Go ahead and tell people how you talk to people,” Yachty said, revealing how she allegedly treated those around her with disdain. “You talk to people like they’re nothing! You talk to people like they’re small, like they’re beneath you.”
Yachty didn’t mince words as he shared more details about their professional relationship. He claimed to have played a significant role in shaping Karrahboo’s career, including writing her verses, curating her image, and even dressing her and other members of the group. “I wrote every fing verse you’ve done,” Yachty exclaimed, emphasizing how much he had invested in her success. “I dressed you. I dressed all five of y’all nas bro. I put an outfit on everybody.”
He went on to express his disappointment in how things turned out, recounting how he had given Karrahboo expensive gifts and opportunities that changed her life. “We bought a Cartier watch. I gave you that chrome Rolex, bro. You was waiting tables… What are we talking about na? I changed your mother fing life and you are here lying, talking about some: ‘we bully you’. That s*** got me fed up, bro. You got me fed up, bro.”
Yachty’s rant highlighted the growing tensions within his circle, bringing to light issues of loyalty, gratitude, and respect. He felt deeply betrayed by both Mitch and Karrahboo, whom he believed were not appreciative of the efforts he made to elevate their careers. The rapper’s emotions were raw, reflecting the pain of someone who felt taken for granted.
The response to Yachty’s rant has been mixed. While some fans sympathize with his frustrations, others have criticized him for airing such personal matters in public. The fallout from these revelations could have lasting impacts on Yachty’s relationships within the music industry.
As the dust settles from this explosive rant, it remains to be seen how these broken relationships will affect Yachty’s career and whether there will be any reconciliation in the future. For now, Lil Yachty is moving forward, albeit with a smaller circle, and perhaps a more cautious approach to those he lets into his life and business.
