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.

BluntBrad Jr. finds calm ambition in the laid-back shine of “It’s All Good”
BluntBrad Jr.’s new single, “It’s All Good,” sounds like a steady handshake and a deep breath. It’s warm, honest, and not trying to be cool. There isn’t any fancy production hiding behind layers of polish here. Instead, the song is all about being honest.

“It’s All Good” is a very human way to be hopeful at its core. The feeling is simple and real, like someone who won’t let little things stand in the way of their goals. The words to the song sound like friends talking to each other. They discuss their goals, their drive, and their need for attention in a way that is honest and not needy.
The production backs this up by making sure that everything is open and airy. The instruments are simple and easy to understand, so BluntBrad Jr.’s voice and message come through clearly. The song feels real because it doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff in it. You’re not hearing a heavily constructed persona; you’re hearing someone at the start of a journey, eager to make their mark.
