Lil Yachty faced public backlash earlier this week over a controversial lyric referencing George Floyd. Specifically, Floyd’s friend Stephen Jackson called out the rapper for what he described as disrespect toward the late George Floyd, whose death sparked global protests in 2020.

The "All the Smoke" cohost, who was a close friend of Floyd, said the Yachty lyric was “wack” and cautioned him to think twice.
