Soulja Boy and Lil Yachty Beef

It's been a funny twelvemonth for rap beef. Lil Wayne versus Birdman. Hereafter versus Immature Thug. Joey Bada$$ versus Troy Ave. Ghostface Killah versus Martin Shkreli. Meek Manufacturing plant versus The Game. Meek Mill versus Beanie Sigel. Pusha T versus Drake. Drake versus Child Cudi. Drake versus Joe Budden. Joe Budden versus those Drake fans who ran upward on him and almost got stoned to expiry (the good onetime fashioned Biblical fashion).

Over the weekend, Lil Yachty and Soulja Boy went at each other'south necks for a grand total of three days. It'southward not just the worst rap beef of 2016, it's the worst rap beefiness of all time.

First, let'southward run through exactly what happened. On Fri (October 28), Soulja Male child Instagrammed what appeared to be a text conversation between himself and Lil Yachty, in which Yachty asks Soulja to remove a picture of him and model India Dear from social media. "India my shorty," Yachty wrote. "I fuck wit u bro u no dat simply u gotta take dat downwards."

Soulja Boy didn't take too kindly to Lil Yachty's text. "I can't tell," he responded. "U want beef north*gga?" From in that location, Soulja Male child went on a tear on social media, threatening to "snatch them fucking beads out [Yachty's] motherfucking caput" and posting text letters from Republic of india Love claiming she has never fifty-fifty met Yachty before.

In response, Lil Yachty tweeted, "Im not for beefing over no female…all Ima say is…fuckin wit da boat yous gone sink. Menses." Then, during his appearance at Mala Luna Festival in San Antonio on Sabbatum, Yachty wore a shirt that said "Pray iv Soulja Boy R.I.P. 2007–2016" and rapped, "Fuck Soulja Boy, yous a bitch ass n*gga / Lil Boat came in with a hundred n*ggas / Fuckin' on your bitch / I know that yous mad."

While Soulja Male child got briefly distracted by Atlanta producer Southside (aka Immature Sizzle), who waged his ain state of war of words with DeAndre Way later on coming to Yachty'due south defence, Lil Gunkhole transformed from a goon back into the goofy kid nosotros all know and love (or hate). "I guess when you become done up you gotta go to drastic measures. I will never know what that'south like," he joked in a hilarious video of him eating pizza in his hotel room.

On Lord's day, Soulja Boy spent nigh of the day promoting a Lil Yachty diss song he recorded called "Fuck Due north*gga" (which has yet to be officially released). He besides claimed Lil Yachty was crying on the phone to him trying to squash the beefiness. However, Yachty soon debunked that merits by leaking a telephone call from Soulja Boy apologizing to him for the whole situation.

But there was ane final plot twist: terminal night, Soulja Boy posted a video of him calling a truce with Lil Yachty and blaming the whole beef on him running out of weed and lean. "Lil Yachty, man, you know I love y'all, bruh," he said. "You know how Large Soulja commencement tweakin' when he own't got no weed."

And then aye, Soulja Male child and Soulja Kid spent three days threatening to slap the shit out of each other over a daughter ane of them has allegedly never met, all because the other was more sober than usual. Lil Bibby's reaction sums it upwards better than any I e'er could.

I'm not nigh to dive into a diatribe about how rap beef is dead and Soulja Boy and Lil Yachty are killing hip-hop blah blah blah. As far every bit anyone could tell, Yachty hit Soulja with a rather innocent request and suddenly found himself embroiled in a public beef with his favorite rapper. Soulja Boy, who coincidentally released a mixtape with Bow Wow earlier that week, had music to promote, and Lil Yachty wasn't about to get punked then early on in his career.

Hell, it could accept all been staged and in a few weeks, we'll see Soulja and Yachty posing for the 'Gram announcing a joint mixtape. In which case, I'm not sure who was supposed to "win" this rap beef? There were no diss songs released (our ears are grateful), no punchlines exchanged (because y'all need to be able to throw a punch in the offset place) and nearly of the incriminating evidence has since been deleted (shouts to DJ Akademiks for screencapping every unmarried thing that happens on the Net).

Soulja Boy apparently gained 100k Instagram followers while Lil Yachty has a new T-shirt he can sell at his merch stands. There are no winners in the Soulja Boy versus Lil Yachty rap beef, only losers—and those losers are us. Like Cole said, "long live the idols, may they never be your rivals."
