Lil Yachty Accused of Stealing “Peek A Boo” From Another Rapper

Lil Yachty‘s Migos-featuring “Peek A Boo” is the lead single from his recently-released album Teenage Emotions. However, an up-and-coming rapper by the name of Memphis Ash has claimed that the song is not an original and believes that Yachty took the hook and some lines from the Jacksonville rapper’s song “Pikachu,” which dropped before Yachty’s track.
According to TMZ, Memphis’s lawyer Ben McLane had filed a cease and desist and a 10-day deadline to give royalties. Yachty, however, did not comply. A representative from the red-headed rapper’s team told Pitchfork, “I think it’s pretty obvious Yachty didn’t rip off this song. Memphis Ash does not own the rights to the phrase ‘peek a boo.’ It’s public domain!” Currently, Memphis and his team plan to get “Peek A Boo” taken down from all streaming platforms.
