Earlier this week, fans were left confused when Yeat‘s verse on the YSL compilation album Slime Language 3 mysteriously disappeared. Speculation quickly mounted, with rumors suggesting that another high-profile artist had issued an ultimatum to Young Thug, forcing a choice between their contribution and Yeat’s. Now, a new diss track from the artist seems to confirm that the individual behind the move was none other than Travis Scott.
In his latest release, “ON NOTHING,” Yeat repeatedly calls out Scott by utilizing his well-known alias, La Flame. “I’ma put out that flame, it’s fuckin’ lame, uh, you goin’ out sad,” he raps during the track’s opening bars. The lyrical assault continues with pointed accusations: “I don’t fuck with Flame, not a lot to say, if I saw a candle, I’d shush it/ What more could I say? You do what they tell you to say, you a motherfuckin’ puppet.”
The release of “ON NOTHING” serves as a direct response to the industry drama surrounding the YSL project. While neither party has issued an official statement regarding the alleged ultimatum, the aggressive nature of the lyrics leaves little room for interpretation regarding where Yeat stands in the wake of his removal.
