Lil Yachty is making waves once again, but this time it’s not for his music. During a candid conversation on Quenlin Blackwell’s cooking show, he didn’t hold back his strong opinions about the Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization, branding it a ‘scam.’
Blackwell, probing into the rapper’s financial generosity, questioned him about his charitable contributions this year, especially after he splurged $100,000 on a Disney trip. To which Yachty replied that the year had just started, making it hard to calculate.
The inquiry didn’t stop there. Blackwell nudged him further about his donations over the past few years. Yachty, seemingly unbothered, confessed that his life and spending habits are so hectic, it’s like living in a blur.
However, when Blackwell turned the spotlight on his support for BLM, Yachty made his stance crystal clear. ‘BLM? BLM is a scam. They bought mansions,’ he declared passionately. His words echoed past allegations against the organization of mishandling funds and buying an extravagant property in Southern California.
These allegations gained traction when Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of BLM, stepped down in 2021 amid financial scrutiny. Reports surfaced of her acquiring multiple plush estates. Moreover, the foundation faced probes on their donation management, prompting some chapters to pull back due to transparency issues.
Even if these were isolated controversies, they left a mark on the organization’s image. Yachty’s remarks hint at a broader skepticism that seems to be shared by many, regardless of the organization’s continued efforts.
Meanwhile, in other news, Lil Yachty took a moment on Tyler, The Creator’s Chromakopia World Tour to express his admiration. On stage, he praised Tyler’s genius, calling him a trailblazer and someone truly unique in the creative world.
Lil Yachty’s candid remarks have stirred discussions around the integrity of organizations like BLM. Whether you agree or not, he has once again shown he isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
