Soulja Boy Starting Beef With Lil Yachty
It's been a funny yr for rap beefiness. Lil Wayne versus Birdman. Futurity versus Young Thug. Joey Bada$$ versus Troy Ave. Ghostface Killah versus Martin Shkreli. Meek Factory versus The Game. Meek Manufactory versus Beanie Sigel. Pusha T versus Drake. Drake versus Kid Cudi. Drake versus Joe Budden. Joe Budden versus those Drake fans who ran up on him and virtually got stoned to decease (the good old fashioned Biblical way).
Over the weekend, Lil Yachty and Soulja Male child went at each other'south necks for a thou total of three days. It's non only the worst rap beef of 2016, it'due south the worst rap beef of all time.
First, let's run through exactly what happened. On Friday (Oct 28), Soulja Male child Instagrammed what appeared to exist a text conversation between himself and Lil Yachty, in which Yachty asks Soulja to remove a motion picture of him and model India Dear from social media. "Republic of india my shorty," Yachty wrote. "I fuck wit u bro u no dat merely u gotta take dat down."
Soulja Boy didn't accept too kindly to Lil Yachty's text. "I can't tell," he responded. "U want beefiness north*gga?" From there, Soulja Boy went on a tear on social media, threatening to "snatch them fucking chaplet out [Yachty's] motherfucking caput" and posting text messages from India Dearest claiming she has never even met Yachty before.
In response, Lil Yachty tweeted, "Im not for beefing over no female…all Ima say is…fuckin wit da boat you gone sink. Period." And then, during his appearance at Mala Luna Festival in San Antonio on Sat, Yachty wore a shirt that said "Pray 4 Soulja Boy R.I.P. 2007–2016" and rapped, "Fuck Soulja Male child, yous a bitch ass n*gga / Lil Boat came in with a hundred north*ggas / Fuckin' on your bitch / I know that you mad."
While Soulja Boy got briefly distracted by Atlanta producer Southside (aka Young Sizzle), who waged his own war of words with DeAndre Way after coming to Yachty'southward defense, Lil Boat transformed from a goon back into the goofy kid we all know and love (or hate). "I guess when you lot get washed up you gotta become to desperate measures. I will never know what that'south like," he joked in a hilarious video of him eating pizza in his hotel room.
On Sunday, Soulja Male child spent nearly of the day promoting a Lil Yachty diss song he recorded called "Fuck N*gga" (which has yet to be officially released). He also claimed Lil Yachty was crying on the phone to him trying to squash the beef. However, Yachty presently debunked that merits by leaking a phone telephone call from Soulja Boy apologizing to him for the whole situation.

But there was one last plot twist: final dark, Soulja Boy posted a video of him calling a truce with Lil Yachty and blaming the whole beef on him running out of weed and lean. "Lil Yachty, man, yous know I love you, bruh," he said. "You know how Big Soulja starting time tweakin' when he ain't got no weed."
So yeah, Soulja Male child and Soulja Child spent three days threatening to slap the shit out of each other over a girl one of them has allegedly never met, all because the other was more sober than usual. Lil Bibby'due south reaction sums information technology up ameliorate than whatever I ever could.
I'thou not about to dive into a diatribe about how rap beefiness is expressionless and Soulja Boy and Lil Yachty are killing hip-hop blah blah apathetic. As far equally anyone could tell, Yachty hit Soulja with a rather innocent request and suddenly found himself embroiled in a public beef with his favorite rapper. Soulja Male child, who coincidentally released a mixtape with Bow Wow earlier that week, had music to promote, and Lil Yachty wasn't virtually to get punked so early in his career.
Hell, it could accept all been staged and in a few weeks, nosotros'll see Soulja and Yachty posing for the 'Gram announcing a joint mixtape. In which case, I'thousand not sure who was supposed to "win" this rap beef? There were no diss songs released (our ears are grateful), no punchlines exchanged (because you lot need to be able to throw a punch in the first place) and most of the incriminating evidence has since been deleted (shouts to DJ Akademiks for screencapping every single thing that happens on the Internet).
Soulja Boy apparently gained 100k Instagram followers while Lil Yachty has a new T-shirt he can sell at his merch stands. There are no winners in the Soulja Boy versus Lil Yachty rap beefiness, but losers—and those losers are us. Like Cole said, "long live the idols, may they never be your rivals."
