Lil Yachty's Controversial Verse on Drake's New Album Stirs Up Massive Backlash from Billie Eilish Fans

Lil Yachty may face backlash from Billie Eilish's fans due to his statement on Drake's album, For All the Dogs. Drake's latest album was released on October 6, and it includes a song called "Another Late Night" featuring Lil Yachty. In his verse, Lil Yachty rapped about ending a relationship with a woman who resembled Billie Eilish physically but lacked singing talent. Fans online criticized this line, with some labeling it as "cringe."

"An unknown person discussing a myth," another fan tweeted, as others chimed in: "Who even is Lil Yachty LFMAO." "He's quite peculiar." "The crowd falls silent." "And he genuinely believed he nailed it." "That's truly uncalled for." "I mean, she has a large chest but such a poorly written lyric." "Lil Yachty included a line about Billie Eilish's breasts, dude. WTF."

In another part of the song, Drake appears to take a jab at ASAP Rocky. "I'm not pretty flacko, bitch / this situation is truly challenging," says Drake, alluding to Rocky's nickname "Flacko" and cleverly addressing the rumored conflict between them regarding ASAP's relationship with Drake's ex Rihanna.

Eilish has openly expressed her struggles with self-image and body image, as she stated in a June interview with Vogue, "It's tough, man. If the internet had talked about me the way they do now when I was younger, like 11, I don't think I would be able to exist, to be honest."

Yachty's comment about Eilish is expected to gain attention once again with the release of the rumored "Another Late Night" music video. Although Yachty was involved in the production of For All The Dogs, this particular track is the only time the rapper from "Minnesota" contributes his vocals. Earlier in September, a fan shared footage claiming to be from a Drake-Yachty music video, showing Drake riding in a car adorned with colorful Christmas lights and rapping alongside Yachty in a forest clearing.

Yachty discussed a video that was supposedly recorded on the September 6 episode of his podcast, "A Safe Place."

"In the middle of nowhere, at 3 o'clock in the morning," Yachty recalled. "It's baffling to think how anyone could be in the woods near a lake. But I guess Drake has some incredibly devoted fans who track his every move."

Yachty expressed concern about the unsettling camera angle in the footage, which made him genuinely fear for his safety. He described the camera's position as resembling that of a sniper, stating that if someone wanted to harm him, they could have easily taken a fatal shot.

Meanwhile, Eilish has not yet responded to Yachty's lyrics.
