The boys are fighting. This week, Yeat mysteriously vanished from Slime Language 3, the third installment of Young Thug’s YSL label compilation series. The rapper was originally featured on the track “Eaters” alongside Travis Scott, Future, and Tezzus before fans noticed on Monday (August 31) that his verse had been removed. Rumors swirled about another artist on the song giving Young Thug an ultimatum: either drop Yeat’s part or cut their own verse. Now, Yeat seems to be confirming that artist’s identity with a new diss track apparently targeted at Scott. Watch the music video for “On Nothing” below.
In a series of barbed verses, Yeat repeatedly slams a “Flame,” likely referring to Scott’s nickname of La Flame. The track’s chorus includes the line “I’ma put out that flame, it’s fuckin’ lame,” and in a later verse, Yeat raps, “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?” Now we wait for what Flame has to say.
