Lil Yachty backed out of the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, which cost him an unaired episode of his A Safe Place podcast.
While joined by the Concrete Boys, Yachty appeared on the Wednesday (February 25) episode of The Bootleg Kev Podcast and revealed that Drizzy appeared on the second episode of A Safe Place, which was eventually scrapped. The episode’s release would have unintentionally been timed with the height of Drake’s 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar, which the “Poland” artist wanted no parts of.
Around the nineteen-minute mark below, Yachty said that while he had “great guests” on his former show, he never released the Drake interview. “[It was recorded] right before the Kendrick thing. It was good, too, it was really funny,” Yachty recalled.
“It was such a funny interview. We never put it out,” he reiterated.
Yachty, who’s credited as a co-writer on Drake albums like Her Loss and For All the Dogs, was name-dropped on K. Dot track “Euphoria,” where the 27-time Grammy winner rapped: “Yachty can't give you no swag neither, I don't give a fuck 'bout who you hang with.”
“I don't think it put me in a weird place. I was with Drake, for sure. So, it wasn't like a limbo,” Yachty explained. “I think it's a sticky situation. I realized just it's
beyond me and I tried to stay out of it for real.”
Elsewhere, Yachty said that Drake and Kendrick are “grown men” and that the $ome $exy $ongs 4 U artist didn’t approach him for “advice.” “I don't know why people just think I was the person putting influence him to do all these things,” he said.
Yachty has said little about The Boy and Kendrick’s beef, and once claimed he was “disconnected” from the feud because he was visiting Europe at the time.
