Lil Yachty Sparks Controversy with Black Lives Matter Comments Amid CHROMAKOPIA Tour
Lil Yachty is known for stirring up attention, but his latest comments have made him controversial. Currently on his CHROMAKOPIA world tour with Paris, Texas, and Tyler, The Creator, Yachty made headlines during an appearance on a show called Feeding Starving Celebrities with Quenlin Blackwell. When discussing charitable contributions, he made a bold statement, calling the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement a “scam.” Yachty’s comment was based on rumors that one of BLM’s co-founders, Patrisse Cullors, used donations to buy a $6 million house in Los Angeles.
Although he seemed to be mixing frustration with a bit of humor, his remarks lacked the sensitivity needed for a serious topic like racial justice. He even told Blackwell, “You probably wouldn’t know anything about it because you don’t care about Black people,” which only added to the tension. Unsurprisingly, BLM responded after Fox News asked for their take on Yachty’s comments, leading to a larger discussion about accountability and how public figures influence opinions. Some fans seemed to agree with Yachty, expressing their own frustrations with the organization’s leadership, while others criticized him for oversimplifying an important movement that has highlighted racial injustice worldwide.
Yachty’s comments show celebrities’ power to shape discussions about significant issues. As a popular artist, what he says matters and can lead to more scrutiny. BLM’s reaction will likely trigger ongoing conversations about transparency in advocacy groups, which is important but may not have been the discussion Yachty wanted to start. Yachty might feel pressure to clarify his views as he continues his tour. Artists often struggle with the responsibilities that come with their fame, and this situation could be an opportunity for deeper conversations. Whether he chooses to address the issue further or focus solely on his music, when celebrities speak out, people pay attention.

Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”
Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.
“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.
Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.
