Lil Yachty has recently signed a deal with Universal Music Publishing, HitsDailyDouble reported over the weekend. UMPG Chairman and CEO Jody Gerson reveals the reason behind their decision in a statement, “Lil Yachty has proven to be a standout recording artist and songwriter, with a talent for delivering songs with catchy hooks. He’s brave and unapologetic about his artistry. We’re happy to be working with Coach K and Pee on another great artist from the Quality Control family.”

Last year, Yachty has revealed that he did not know who his publishing is signed to. “I don’t think I signed my publishing,” said Yachty. “I don’t know who my publishing is signed to. I really don’t.” He also stated in his debate with Joe Budden on Everyday Struggle that he didn’t know whether or not he was signed to a 360 record deal. All he was concerned with is that he has “an amazing deal” and an “amazing attorney.” Looks like his deal just got more amazing. Revisit his debut album Teenage Emotions below.
