Yachty goes on to fend off haters, saying, “if I’m doing this my way and making all this money, why should I do it how everybody says it’s supposed to be done?” the opinionated rapper has also been open about his distaste for serious hip hop, revealing in a studio interview with TIDAL that all of it is “boring” and puts him to “sleep.” Yachty rounds out the Billboard interview by stressing his importance as a representative for the younger generation of hip hop artists and fans, concluding, “I’ve found myself. I’m like the youth’s big brother now. I have to be that voice for them.” Read the full Billboard feature here.
