AceShowbiz - Drama in the hip-hop world often unfolds at a breakneck pace, and this week was no exception. Lil Yachty's unexpected unfollow of Drake on Instagram sent shockwaves through their fanbase only to reverse just as quickly, raising eyebrows and stoking the rumor mill.
Lil Yachty has since refollowed Drake on Instagram after unfollowing him for a brief period. The unfollow initially sparked speculation among fans, particularly as it coincided with rumors that Drake was releasing a song called "Supersoak" that no longer featured Yachty.
According to reports, the unfollow was related to the fact that Mr. Hotspot, the artist whose song "Supersoak" was sampled, refused to clear the sample unless a clean version was made due to his religious belief. This led to Yachty leaking the original collaborative version to Kai Cenat.
It reportedly angered Mr. Hotspot and prompted him to pressure Drake to ditch Yachty if he wanted to clear the sample.
Yachty's comments on a podcast about the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef also contributed to the controversy. He expressed regret over sharing his thoughts on the feud, which angered fans of Drake's OVO label. This planted seeds of doubt about the friendship between Yachty and Drake.
