Lil Yachty Allegedly Apologized for Offensive George Floyd Lyric

Former NFL star Stephen Jackson went viral last week after he called out rapper Lil Yachty for his offensive lyric about George Floyd… Jackson says Yachty has since apologized.

“To all the bloggers and shows that’s callin’ me about the Lil Yachy and George Floyd situation…I won’t be doin’ no interviews about it. I spoke to him, he’s a smart young man, and he’s winning for a reason. He made a mistake, he apologized, we moved on from it,” Jackson said in a video shared to social media.

In another video, he said, “I took my post down about Lil Yachty cause I’m emotional about George. I told him it don’t make no sense to do a public apology. He understood, and he understands the outrage.”

George Floyd died in May 2020 after a Minnesota Police Officer, Derek Chauvin, was filmed pressing his knee into Floyd’s neck as Floyd pleaded, “I can’t breathe.”

Last week, Yachty previewed a track on PlaqueBoyMax’s livestream where he rapped, “Put my knee up on her neck, I went George Floyd.”

Jackson immediately fired off at Yachty.

“You think you saying George Floyd name, and trying to use his name in a bar, that’s gonna make people like your wack-a– music, my n—a? That s–t weak. Y’all the only era that feel like demeaning the dead and saying that s–t is cool, my n—a. It ain’t.”

Jackson continued, “Don’t ever say his name, bro. None of ya’ll knew G, nothing about him. But y’all wanna say his name for clout. That’s some weak-a– s–t, Yachty. Let somebody die in your family, we gonna do a whole skit about it. And see how funny it is, bro. Cut that s–t out.”
