Lil Yachty Reveals He's Quit Lean, Debuts New Haircut

Lil Yachty is feeling like a whole new man.

Lil Yachty is someone who has been having a fantastic 2023. Overall, this is thanks to a plethora of dope singles and even an AOTY contender. Let's Start Here was Yachty's foray into the world of psych rock, and it was a great one at that. It is an album that had many praising Yachty for his immense artistry. Moreover, it is a project that gets better with each subsequent listen. Now, however, Yachty is gearing up for Drake's project For All The Dogs . He is likely featured on it, and he knows a lot about the album.

For All The Dogs will be coming out on September 22nd, and fans are very excited about it. There is a new single dropping this week which is going to act as a teaser of sorts. With all of that in mind, it seems as though Yachty is enacting some lifestyle changes right now. Firstly, he took to Instagram with a few snaps of him sporting a new haircut. In fact, it appears as though he is embracing the bald life. Furthermore, he has revealed that he quit Lean, which is a huge accomplishment.

"I did not stop drinkin lean for n****s to bully me and tell me i look like i have leukemia," Lil Yachty wrote. For those who may not know, Lean is one of those drugs that can make you gain a lot of weight, especially in your gut area. However, once you kick the stuff, you are able to lose weight rapidly. Sometimes, this leads to people thinking you are sick, then it is, in fact, the opposite. These comments are most certainly annoying for Yachty, however, he seems content with his life choices.

Musically, we hope to hear a lot more from the man very soon. He has been having an incredible resurgence, and the fans can't help but agree. Only time will tell what his For All The Dogs feature sounds like if there even is one. Let us know your thoughts on Yachty and his haircut, in the comments below.

Lil Yachty on Weight Loss and Haircut: 'I Did Not Stop Drinkin Lean For N***as to Bully Me and Tell Me I Look Like I Have Leukemia'

Yachty debuted a new look after he lost some weight and potentially cut his trademark braids.

Lil Yachty  is clearly not happy with certain comments he's received regarding his recent transformation.

On Monday, the 26-year-old took to his Twitter account with a post showing off a slimmer physique and new haircut. Yachty has maintained his braids throughout his career, but he appears to have cut them all off.  

"She like my haircut, it turn her on!!!" Yachty captioned his tweet. He shared the same photos on Instagram of his new look with a caption that read, "i chopped da top, fukk it."

she like my haircut, it turn her on!!! pic.twitter.com/bWPQHxlvUC — CONCRETE BOY BOAT^ (@lilyachty) September 11, 2023

It seems like Lil Boat didn't get the reaction he wanted, though, as he returned with a new tweet that called out people who had been  "bullying"  him over his new look. According to Yachty, he didn't sacrifice to get this new look just for people to clown him. 

"I did not stop drinkin lean for n***as to bully me and tell me i look like i have leukemia," he wrote.

When asked what's under the hat, he simply dropped an emoji indicating he's not sharing—yet.

🤭 — CONCRETE BOY BOAT^ (@lilyachty) September 11, 2023

He also reposted some jokes about his cut on his IG Stories:

Several rappers have joined the anti-lean wave, such as Offset, who kicked the drug earlier this year. In an interview with  Variety , Set explained his family pushed him to stop drinking lean. 

"I put down lean. I was drinking my whole career. It opened my mind up, but I never thought it helped me create," he shared. "I feel like getting past that, cleaning up, and putting that message out."

The 31-year-old also praised wife Cardi B for sticking by his side as he went through the process of quitting lean.

"She always got my back, right or wrong," said the former Migos artist. "We both on the same mission to make each other better. We are a great team. We're a powerhouse at this point—icon status. We believe in God. We believe in family. We're going to keep winning."

Other rappers who have quit lean include  Moneybagg Yo , Sada Baby, and 600Breezy.

Lil Yachty Debuted a New Hairstyle on TikTok and Instantly Became a Hilarious Meme

Aug. 3 2020, Updated 6:38 p.m. ET

Not all TikTok profiles are created equal, and we can probably all agree that Lil Yachty ’s TikTok is definitely on another level than most people’s. If you haven’t seen his incredibly hilarious and (mostly) wholesome content on TikTok, you are definitely missing out.

While most of Lil Yachty’s TikTok videos are great, one specific video has taken the internet by storm. It features him revealing his “ new hairstyle ” and it is, quite frankly, perfect — he has his nails done too! If TikTok really does get banned in the U.S., losing Lil Yachty’s content would truly be the greatest loss.

Lil Yachty showed off a new hairstyle on TikTok — and got his nails done too!

Most of Lil Yachty’s TikToks feature him just kind of living his life in his gigantic house. He’s not afraid to get a little goofy, though, as is evidenced by the video that people can’t stop talking about/making fun of. In it, Lil Yachty shows off the hairstyle shown above.

Images of Lil Yachty’s hairstyle quickly started getting shared all over the internet, with many people making jokes about the rather extreme look. Honestly, a still image really doesn’t do the hairstyle justice. Here’s the video in full (there’s some NSFW language in it, just so you know):

@lilyachty NOT DA BAYANNNNNGG SKISKIBDJWBSJSVSHSJJWJWB ##fyp ##foryoupage ♬ original sound - itsjustnyissa

Incredible. As we said, people quickly took notice of the bumped-end hairstyle and started poking fun — all in good fun, of course! “I thought my auntie made a TikTok I almost choked,” one person commented on TikTok. “I THOUGHT THIS WAS SOMEBODY AUNTY,” said another. 

In an earlier TikTok video, Lil Yachty also shared that he had gotten a manicure and pedicure. He had separate designs for each of his fingers, and on his pedicurist painted the word “TOES” across his toenails. We’re not sure whether Lil Yachty will be starting a new trend, but we love that he went for it.

@lilyachty Thanks Rosie 🥳🥳🥳 ##fyp ##foryoupage ##nails ♬ original sound - lilyachty

After Lil Yachty’s hairstyle became a meme, he took to Twitter to say that he was a little embarrassed that so many people had seen the video. “I ain’t gone lie my TikTok was never supposed to get out now that it’s been found I am embarrassed,” he wrote . But honestly? We’re not really sure what we even did on TikTok before discovering that Lil Yachty has become a master of the TikTok arts. 

It’s not like he needs to become a viral TikTok star in order to enjoy some popularity — obviously, Lil Yachty has already proven himself capable of grand levels of success that most TikTok stars can only dream of. In May, he released his newest album, “Lil Boat 3,” which debuted at No. 14 on the US Billboard 200. It features guest appearances from ASAP Rocky, Tyler, the Creator, Future, Drake, DaBaby, Young Thug, and others.

@lilyachty 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 ##fyp ##foryoupage ♬ original sound - lilyachty

When he’s not making new music, he’s keeping his TikTok followers — more than 3 million of ‘em — entertained with his various antics. Sometimes that means talking about how his washer and dryer are "bullies." Sometimes it means smelling flowers in his yard . In short, he’s the best at TikTok and now we hope the app never ever gets banned.

Lil Yachty Says He Was Bullied for His Hairstyle In School

Lil Yachty might be on top of the world right now when it comes to reaching major milestones in the music and entertainment world , but he had to go through a lot to get here. The "Peak A Boo" rapper sat down with Zane Lowe for an interview on Beats 1 Radio, where he spoke about the humble beginnings and moments of struggle that led him to where he is now.

While he talks about his upcoming  Teenage Emotions album that's due out tomorrow, the Sailing Team captain also dives into other topics surrounding his hairstyle, being bullied in school as well and what happened when he decided to drop out of college at the age of 18.

Towards the beginning of their conversation, Yachty speaks candidly about his unique appearance, confessing that he was bullied at school for his hair.

"If anybody would've went through what I went through at that school, you would instantly cut your hair off," Yachty admits to Lowe in the interview.

The entertainer says he's had his signature red hair since he was in 11th grade after his mom told him to cut his braids off to get his job at McDonald's. After seeing that everyone at his job had braids and colored hair, his mom recommended that he dye his hair red, and it's been that color ever since.

"I was on my way to work at McDonald's. I had braids before. They were real long and they were black, but my mom made me cut them for the McDonald's job. Then when I got the job, everybody had long braids and colored hair. So I was going to work one day and my mom said, 'You should dye your hair red.' And a light bulb went off in my head. I did it and then my hair grew back and I've had it since," Yachty recalled of his signature hairstyle.

Lil Boat also details what was going through his mind when he decided he was going to drop out of college, leading him to pursue his now-successful music career.

"People used to always laugh at my hair and stuff like that. I just remember being in social studies, or world geography, and the teacher was talking. I was in the back and the lights was off and it just felt like, 'Wom, wom, wom, wom.' People were asleep, people were texting and I was just like, 'This is doing nothing. What am I doing?' I was dumb broke. I was so broke and I remember walking home and I called up my friend, and I was like, 'Man, I don't want to be here.' I went back to my room. I packed up everything I could take. I left my TV. I had a brand new like 40-inch flat-screen... I left," Yachty recalls.

Throughout the interview, the "Broccoli" hitmaker also speaks on his first taste of success with his music, his unique sound and what we can expect from his debut album.

How Lil Yachty Got His Second Act

By Jeff Ihaza

Until the pandemic, Lil Yachty never stopped to think about how quickly he became famous. “It was a full year from walking across the stage in high school to then I’m in this penthouse in midtown Atlanta , I got this G-wagon, put my mother in a house,” Yachty explains. “It’s a fast life. You not ever getting the chance to think about a lot of shit.”

Yachty’s 2016 hit “Minnesota,” which had the treacly energy of a nursery rhyme, earned the then-17-year-old the title “King of the Teens.” But since then, he’s become an elder statesman of a certain brand of young superstar — and something like the Gen Z answer to Diddy. He collaborated with brands like Nautica and Target; he appeared in the movie How High 2 ; he signed an endorsement deal with Sprite. Signees to his new label imprint, Concrete Boys, even get an iced-out chain.

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

Born Miles Parks McCollum, Yachty embodies many of the ways the music industry has changed in the past decade. He rose to fame on the internet and commands attention with or without new music. Over Zoom in March, he’s calm and reserved, pausing intently before he responds to questions. The youthful exuberance is still there, though. At one point, his mom, who lives nearby, calls to ask what he wants from the grocery store. “I need Pop-Tarts,” he says sweetly. “I really want them cinnamon-bun Pop-Tarts.”

He can afford lots of Pop-Tarts. Yachty reportedly made $13 million on endorsements in 2016 and 2017. (“Work hard, play hard,” he responds when asked about the number.) He spends more than $50,000 a month on various expenses, according to one recent headline. (“If anything I pay a little more. I have many assets and insurance, plus an elaborate payroll.”) He’s working on a Reese’s Puffs cereal collaboration, a film based on the card game Uno, and he was one of the first rappers to hop on the crypto craze, selling something called a “YachtyCoin” last December in an auction on the platform Nifty Gateway. According to a report from Coinbase, the token sold for $16,050. Yachty explains that when he was first discovered by Quality Control records founder Kevin “Coach K” Lee, “one of the biggest things he talked about was being a brand. Being bigger than just an artist — being a mogul.”

In fact, collaboration has come to be a useful tool for Yachty as he sheds the King of the Teens title for something more akin to a rap mogul. “I only work with people I have friendships with, who I really admire,” Yachty says. “And I love working with newer artists, up-and-coming artists.”  Within the world of hip-hop, Yachty has found for himself somewhere between a megastar and internet hero, and it would appear that he’s just settling in. “I just fuck with new talent. Not even like, ‘let me sign you, get under my wing,’ ” he explains. “Just ‘hey, I’ve been in this spot before. I know what that’s like, bada bing, bada boom.’ ”

Yachty started Concrete Boys last year. One of the first signees was his childhood friend Draft Day, who offers one of the more exciting features on Lil Boat 3, on the cut “Demon Time.” “I feel old sometimes,” Yachty admits. “I feel old as fuck when someone’s popping and I don’t know who they are. Which is rare, because I be on my shit.”

Yachty is also at the forefront of a new realm of social platforms, namely Twitch and Discord, that engender more direct communication within communities. Yachty frequently talks directly to fans on both platforms, and in April he collaborated with Discord on “sound packs,” which allowed users to replace the app’s normal notifications with sounds he created.

Real sex-symbol shit, you know what I’m saying?” For Yachty, who opened the door to a new brand of celebrity rapper, it doesn’t register as wishful thinking. His enduring celebrity is proof of what’s possible with a solid flow and internet savvy. “I just want to do everything. Because I’ve realized I can,” Yachty explains. “I’ve learned the power I have. The only thing stopping me is me, for real.”

How Lil Yachty Ended Up at His Excellent New Psychedelic Album Let's Start Here

By Brady Brickner-Wood

The evening before Lil Yachty released his fifth studio album,  Let’s Start Here,  he  gathered an IMAX theater’s worth of his fans and famous friends at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City and made something clear: He wanted to be taken seriously. Not just as a “Soundcloud rapper, not some mumble rapper, not some guy that just made one hit,” he told the crowd before pressing play on his album. “I wanted to be taken serious because music is everything to me.” 

There’s a spotty history of rappers making dramatic stylistic pivots, a history Yachty now joins with  Let’s Start Here,  a funk-flecked psychedelic rock album. But unlike other notable rap-to-rock faceplants—Kid Cudi’s  Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven  comes to mind, as does Lil Wayne’s  Rebirth —the record avoids hackneyed pastiche and gratuitous playacting and cash-grabbing crossover singles; instead, Yachty sounds unbridled and free, a rapper creatively liberated from the strictures of mainstream hip-hop. Long an oddball who’s delighted in defying traditional rap ethos and expectations,  Let’s Start Here  is a maximalist and multi-genre undertaking that rewrites the narrative of Yachty’s curious career trajectory. 

Admittedly, it’d be easy to write off the album as Tame Impala karaoke, a gimmicky record from a guy who heard Yves Tumor once and thought: Let’s do  that . But set aside your Yachty skepticism and probe the album’s surface a touch deeper. While the arrangements tend toward the obvious, the record remains an intricate, unraveling swell of sumptuous live instruments and reverb-drenched textures made more impressive by the fact that Yachty co-produced every song. Fielding support from an all-star cast of characters, including production work from former Chairlift member Patrick Wimberly, Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s Jacob Portrait, Justin Raisen, Nick Hakim, and Magdalena Bay, and vocals from Daniel Caesar, Diana Gordon,  Foushée , Justine Skye, and Teezo Touchdown, Yachty surrounds himself with a group of disparately talented collaborators. You can hear the acute attention to detail and wide-scale ambition in the spaced-out denouement on “We Saw the Sun!” or on the blistering terror of “I’ve Officially Lost Vision!!!!” or during the cool romanticism of “Say Something.” Though occasionally overindulgent,  Let’s Start Here  is a spectacular statement from hip-hop’s prevailing weirdo. It’s not shocking that Yachty took another hard left—but how exactly did he end up  here ?

In 2016, as the forefather of “bubblegum trap” ascended into mainstream consciousness, an achievement like  Let’s Start Here  would’ve seemed inconceivable. The then 18-year-old Yachty gained national attention when a pair of his songs, “One Night” and “Minnesota,” went viral. Though clearly indebted to hip-hop trailblazers Lil B, Chief Keef, and Young Thug, his work instantly stood apart from the gritted-teeth toughness of his Atlanta trap contemporaries. Yachty flaunted a childlike awe and cartoonish demeanor that communicated a swaggering, unbothered cool. His singsong flows and campy melodies contained a winking humor to them, a subversive playfulness that endeared him to a generation of very online kids who saw themselves in Yachty’s goofy, eccentric persona. He starred in Sprite  commercials alongside LeBron James, performed live shows at the  Museum of Modern Art , and modeled in Kanye West’s  Life of Pablo  listening event at Madison Square Garden. Relishing in his cultural influence, he declared to the  New York Times  that he was not a rapper but an  artist. “And I’m more than an artist,” he added. “I’m a brand.”

 As Sheldon Pearce pointed out in his Pitchfork  review of Yachty’s 2016 mixtape,  Lil Boat , “There isn’t a single thing Lil Yachty’s doing that someone else isn’t doing better, and in richer details.” He wasn’t wrong. While Yachty’s songs were charming and catchy (and, sometimes, convincing), his music was often tangential to his brand. What was the point of rapping as sharply as the Migos or singing as intensely as Trippie Redd when you’d inked deals with Nautica and Target, possessed a sixth-sense for going viral, and had incoming collaborations with Katy Perry and Carly Rae Jepsen? What mattered more was his presentation: the candy-red hair and beaded braids, the spectacular smile that showed rows of rainbow-bedazzled grills, the wobbly, weak falsetto that defaulted to a chintzy nursery rhyme cadence. He didn’t need technical ability or historical reverence to become a celebrity; he was a meme brought to life, the personification of hip-hop’s growing generational divide, a sudden star who, like so many other Soundcloud acts, seemed destined to crash and burn after a fleeting moment in the sun.

 One problem: the music wasn’t very good. Yachty’s debut album, 2017’s  Teenage Emotions, was a glitter-bomb of pop-rap explorations that floundered with shaky hooks and schmaltzy swings at crossover hits. Worse, his novelty began to fade, those sparkly, cheerful, and puerile bubblegum trap songs aging like day-old french fries. Even when he hued closer to hard-nosed rap on 2018’s  Lil Boat 2  and  Nuthin’ 2 Prove,  you could feel Yachty desperate to recapture the magic that once came so easily to him. But rap years are like dog years, and by 2020, Yachty no longer seemed so radically weird. He was an established rapper making mid mainstream rap. The only question now was whether we’d already seen the best of him.

If his next moves were any indication—writing the  theme song to the  Saved by the Bell  sitcom revival and announcing his involvement in an upcoming  movie based on the card game Uno—then the answer was yes. But in April 2021, Yachty dropped  Michigan Boat Boy,  a mixtape that saw him swapping conventional trap for Detroit and Flint’s fast-paced beats and plain-spoken flows. Never fully of a piece with his Atlanta colleagues, Yachty found a cohort of kindred spirits in Michigan, a troop of rappers whose humor, imagination, and debauchery matched his own. From the  looks of it, leaders in the scene like Babyface Ray, Rio Da Yung OG, and YN Jay embraced Yachty with open arms, and  Michigan Boat Boy  thrives off that communion. 

 Then “ Poland ” happened. When Yachty uploaded the minute-and-a-half long track to Soundcloud a few months back, he received an unlikely and much needed jolt. Building off the rage rap production he played with on the  Birthday Mix 6  EP, “Poland” finds Yachty’s warbling about carrying pharmaceutical-grade cough syrup across international borders, a conceit that captured the imagination of TikTok and beyond. Recorded as a joke and released only after a leaked version went viral, the song has since amassed over a hundred-millions streams across all platforms. With his co-production flourishes (and adlibs) splattered across Drake and 21 Savage’s  Her Loss,  fans had reason to believe that Yachty’s creative potential had finally clicked into focus.

 But  Let’s Start Here  sounds nothing like “Poland”—in fact, the song doesn’t even appear on the project. Instead, amid a tapestry of scabrous guitars, searing bass, and vibrant drums, Yachty sounds right at home on this psych-rock spectacle of an album. He rarely raps, but his singing often relies on the virtues of his rapping: those greased-vowel deliveries and unrushed cadences, the autotune-sheathed vibrato. “Pretty,” for instance, is decidedly  not  a rap song—but what is it, then? It’s indebted to trap as much as it is ’90s R&B and MGMT, its drugged-out drums and warm keys able to house an indeterminate amount of ideas.

Yachty didn’t need to abandon hip-hop to find himself as an artist, but his experimental impulses helped him craft his first great album. Perhaps this is his lone dalliance in psych rock—maybe a return to trap is imminent. Or, maybe, he’ll make another 180, or venture deeper into the dystopia of corporate sponsorships. Who’s to say? For now, it’s invigorating to see Yachty shake loose the baggage of his teenage virality and emerge more fully into his adult artistic identity. His guise as a boundary-pushing rockstar isn’t a new archetype, but it’s an archetype he’s infused with his glittery idiosyncrasies. And look what he’s done: he’s once again morphed into a star the world didn’t see coming.

What hair style does Lil Yachty have?

Lil Yachty is a young rapper who has quickly become known for his unique sense of fashion and hairstyle. What hair style does Lil Yachty have?

Lil Yachty’s hair is a signature style that is often imitated but never quite duplicated. His hair is a bright red color that is styled into a high top fade. The hair on the top of his head is styled into a large mohawk, while the hair on the sides and back of his head is cut very short.

This hairstyle is not for everyone, but it works perfectly for Lil Yachty’s image and style. It is a very bold and eye-catching style that helps him to stand out from the crowd. It is also a very practical style, since it is easy to maintain and does not require a lot of time or effort.

If you are looking for a unique and edgy hairstyle, then the high top fade may be right for you. It is a style that is sure to get you noticed, and it is perfect for anyone who wants to make a statement.

How do you get braids like ASAP Rocky?

ASAP Rocky is known for his unique braided hairstyles. If you want to get braids like ASAP Rocky, there are a few things you need to know.

There are a few things that you can do to help your braids last longer. First, make sure that you use a good quality hair product, such as a moisturizing conditioner or hair oil, to help keep your hair healthy and hydrated. Second, avoid washing your hair often while your braids are in place, as this can weaken the hair and cause the braids to fall out sooner.

Lil Yachty Reveals AI-Generated Album Cover for ‘Let’s Start Here,’ Depicting Demented Boardroom of Executives

By Yousef Srour

• ‘Atlanta’ Returns Home for a Final Season That Cements Its Legacy  9 months ago
• Moneybagg Yo Talks New Mixtape, ‘Hard to Love,’ Entrepreneurship, and Making Lil Wayne Re-Do a Verse 10 months ago

Lil Yachty has revealed the artwork and release date for his forthcoming album, “Let’s Start Here,” set to debut Jan. 27 on Quality Control Music and Motown Records.

Ever the provocateur, the rapper’s new cover art previews an AI-generated image of what seems to be seven executives sitting next to each other in suits. With malformed faces akin to a psychedelic trip down the rabbit hole, the artwork seems unremarkable upon first glance. However, the longer you stare at their faces, they look inhuman, with contorted facial features and warped smiles.

The post is captioned : “Let’s Start Here. – 1/27  Chapter 2. Thank You for the patience,” hinting at a potential redux of an already teased album, collectively referred to as “Sonic Ranch.” On Dec. 25, Yachty’s latest album was leaked by Leaked.cx, much to the Michigan rapper’s disappointment. He took to Twitter later that day to post a half-hearted sad-face emoji to express anguish in the untimely launch of a potentially seminal work within his discography.

In an interview with Icebox last year , the “ Minnesota ” rapper has expressed that his “new album is a non-rap album,” hence the second chapter that he alludes to in his Instagram post. Yachty explains: “It’s alternative, it’s sick!” After recently collaborating with artists such as Tame Impala, he’s been in the process of creating a “psychedelic alternative project… [with] all live instrumentation.”

Slowly shedding major label support, Yachty now has his own label and creative consultant company, Concrete Records and Concrete Family, respectively. Working closely with Concrete Family, Yachty teamed up with the General Mills cereal brand in 2020 for a limited collaboration with Reese’s Puffs and has an undisclosed sneaker set to be released at a later date. Similar to his 2021 mixtape, “Michigan Boat Boy,” which featured almost solely Detroit artists including Rio Da Yung OG and Babyface Ray, Yachty plans to also release a mixtape with the Concrete Boys collective sometime this year.

In the comments, several Instagram users couldn’t help but weigh in on Drake’s latest embrace of baddie beauty. The online users shared various reactions, although most made light of the rapper’s rainbow clip hairstyle.

“It’s the clips for me 🔥 lol.”  “lmao Drake be killing me 😭😭😂😂😂😂.” “Biracial baddies 😆❤️.” “Taste the Rainbow 🌈 @champagnepapi.” “😂😂😂 I never seen this side of Drake B4 🔥🔥🔥.” “Take them clips out yo head @champagnepapi.” “Tf Drake on!” 

The “Search & Rescue” rapper rocked his defined curls with a black tee and matching-colored pants. He also flexed in his infamous 42-diamond necklace, which he purchased , reportedly, to represent every time he wanted to propose.

This isn’t the first time the rapper has caused an online stir with his unique beauty looks. Within the past year, social media has frequently questioned his hair and nail choices. 

While one of the biggest names in hip hop — an infamously male-dominated and homophobic genre — Drake hasn’t been shy about pushing people’s perceptions of what a rapper should look like. 

Earlier this month,  Popsugar   speculated that the rainbow of colorful charms attached to the Grammy winner’s hair may have hinted at details about his forthcoming album, For All the Dogs . It came weeks after his blown-out afro — separated in the middle by pink hair clips — garnered  strong online opinions. 

The rapper’s manicures were the focus of discussion in July and June. During the former, Drake  called out his friend, fellow rapper Lil Yachty, for suggesting that he get his nails done.

“GET OUT MY COMMENTS. YOU TOLD ME TO PAINT MY NAILS SO I STOP BITING THEM, AND NOW THE WORLD IS BEING HOMOPHOBIC FOR THE 1st TIME SINCE RICH FLEX… which wasn’t that long ago now that I think about it,” Drake wrote on Instagram. “Wait, is the world homophobic? Smh.”
