Rap newcomer Lil Yachty has put an end to the Soulja Boy beef rumors. The Atlanta rapper has addressed gossip about the short-lived rift being a publicity stunt.
Despite the growing rumor, Yachty said Soulja Boy completely ignited the dispute.
“It was not a fight. It was a cry for attention. I did not respond. I was not a part of that. … I was not arguing with this man – and it wasn’t fake. A lot of people thought it was fake – a publicity stunt. I don’t need a publicity stunt, bro. That’s not me being cocky, bro. I don’t even want to be in the public like that.” (97.9 The Box)

Prior to SB’s remarks, Yachty said he would physically confront SB if they met in-person.
“I’m way bigger than [him]. Come on, bro, me and him are not even on the same level. That was my idol. Your idols become your rivals – I was upset. But I’ve never been someone to lie. … I don’t beef over females – crazy enough, that’s how it started. … That’s why I don’t even get mad. I said, ‘F*ck Soulja Boy’ – I don’t give a f*ck about that n*gga, bro. I don’t want to fight him – [if we’re in the same room] I’d slap the sh*t out of him. I’m tripping, I’m tripping. I don’t wish bad luck on Soulja Boy – I’m definitely taller than Soulja Boy.”

Once the e-beef exploded, Yachty’s fans trolled Soulja on Instagram.
