The Funniest Lil Yachty ‘Poland’ Memes

Lil Yachty 's new "Poland" single is taking over the internet and memes about the viral track are as well.

Last Tuesday (Oct. 4), Lil Yachty initially released the  F1lthy-produced track on SoundCloud   and it quickly gained traction due to its infectious chorus of, "I took the Wock to Poland," which references the street name for Wockhardt, a pharmaceutical company that produces promethazine and codeine, commonly known as lean. The falsetto vocal vibrato used by Boat has also added to the catchiness of the track.

Since the song's release,  Lil Yachty has been getting praise for the single from plenty of his rap colleagues and some are just reveling in the lyrics.

Wiz Khalifa was also impressed. "Lil yachty on my list of best dressed rappers too. That Poland song is hard," Wiz shared on Twitter.

"I Took WoOoOoOoOoOck

Ta Polaaaaaaaaaand," Denzel Curry tweeted.

"My brudda @lilyachty has always been in the future , ever since since.. Poland go me in a headlock in Jamaica rn,"  JID  commented about the track.

The viral track has become fodder for memes on social media, too. Some people joked about the people in Poland being oblivious to the song's actual meaning.

"Poland officials once they find out what Lil Yachty did," one person on Twitter captioned a photo of Travis Scott palming his forehead.

Others provided memes about having the memorable chorus stuck in their heads and how it sounds like Lil Yachty is singing into a fan.

Lil Yachty officially released the song on streaming services on Monday (Oct. 10), and has a Lyrical Lemonade video directed by Cole Bennett to go along with it. it's looking like the buzz surrounding the track will lead to another hit for the Atlanta rapper.

Lil Yachty Is Big Mouth 's Biggest Fan

Back in March, Lil Yachty bought a house—perhaps more aptly described as a mansion, since it easily fits ten of his friends—and then, in his words, he very much “didn’t do shit.” He was waiting to shoot How High 2 , the sequel to the 2001 stoner comedy featuring Redman and Method Man in which he’d nabbed a starring role. The wait dragged on, which meant far less touring than normal: two handfuls worth of shows in the last year or so, by Yachty’s estimate. In his defense, everyone deserves some downtime. Besides, “didn’t do shit” isn’t exactly accurate: the rapper dropped Lil Boat 2 in March, followed by Nuthin 2 Prove in October.

But after that comparatively restful period, Lil Yachty is back to the schedule that made him rich and famous and also sometimes exhausted. The self-appointed King of the Teens—who, after turning 20 last summer, wisely amended that title to King of the Youth—is running on two hours of sleep on this particular Friday afternoon. A day earlier, he was in New York. Then he flew back to Atlanta, where he performed at the Boiler Room until the wee hours of the morning, before taking a flight back to New York.

With that travel itinerary in mind (including a trip in which Yachty sat next to Samuel L. Jackson), it’s easy to understand why he needs a snack—some Haribo gummies today—while he chats with me. And it makes his decision to crank Tame Impala and Bon Iver louder and louder in between some subtle accessory changes for his GQ photoshoot slightly more defensible. Whatever it takes to keep Lil Boat afloat, which, as it turns out, also includes talking about Big Mouth , pizza, acting, politics, and yes, hip hop.

GQ: Did Samuel L. Jackson know who you were when you sat next to him on that flight? Lil Yachty: I don’t know. I didn’t look at him. I didn’t want to make him uncomfortable, you know? I sat next to him for two hours and I just pretended like I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t make any faces or anything.

You got high for How High 2 after not smoking since high school. Did you have to smoke in preparation for being high while acting? Only one time.

So you were pretty much just going to set saying, “We’ll see what happens here.” Yeah, it was a bad idea. We couldn’t record because I was so goofy. I was laughing, I couldn’t say my lines right. I was a fool. Everything was so funny. I was crying.

What did you do to fill your days when you were waiting for production to start? Look for something to watch on Netflix and go to the studio. That’s all I do. I don’t do shit. I be trying to find shit to do.

On the Netflix front: You like Big Mouth , right? I love Big Mouth .

Who’s your favorite character on that show? That’s the best question I’ve ever been asked. I think from the second season, that protégé hormone monster, the baby one that’s always fucking up. Or, I can’t remember her name, but the white chick who was dating [Andrew Glouberman, voiced by John Mulaney].

What did you think of Coach Steve’s character arc this season? Coach Steve! I love Coach Steve. Yo, Coach Steve’s hormone monster is so good too. There are so many good characters. I love when he says, “You got it, you’re the man Coach Steve.”

Where does that show rank for you in terms of comedies? It’s up there. I loved the second season. So, so, so funny. I’m about to go watch it again. So many personalities and characters. But it wasn’t like that for me. I wasn’t horny growing up. I didn’t get those feelings until I was about to graduate.

It wasn’t relatable for you? Because for a lot of people, that show is very relatable. I didn’t start feeling those type of ways until like 11th grade.

So you weren’t chasing after girls at all in middle school? Noooo. I was playing video games and watching wrestling.

They also introduced the Shame Monster in season two. Did you ever experience that festering level of shame that teenagers feel? No, not really. I wasn’t doing those type of things. I didn’t care about kissing or looking at boobs until high school. I wasn’t watching porn or any of that stuff in middle school.

I watched the Complex video of your shoe collection . Two stuck out to me—you have the “Air Seinfelds” and then you have Special Edition Scrubs Nikes. Did you watch both of those shows or did you just like the shoes? Seinfeld used to be my favorite show. But I’ve never seen Scrubs . Is that a funny show?

Yeah, I’d say so. So why’d you get the Scrubs shoes? I mean, they were rare.

I know you’ve become a little more outspoken about politics and shouted out Stacey Abrams on Instagram a few times. When did you start looking more into her candidacy? My father and my manager introduced me to her and what she’s about.

What was it about her that stuck out to you? Well I mean, the other side [Republican candidate Brian Kemp], that nigga is weird. That dude is crazy.

You live with a bunch of your friends now. Did you have to make tough decisions about who got into your house? Nah, there was room for all my friends. It seems like every time I’ve moved places, I’ve added more people. At first it was four of us, and by the end of that penthouse it became five, then I moved to another penthouse and it became six, then seven, then eight, and then I bought a house. And then it became nine, ten, and at one point it was 11. Somebody left so now it’s ten.

What sort of house rules do you enforce? At first I was enforcing a house rule that I didn’t want any girls there. But I used to have girls over so I couldn’t really enforce that. I mostly just want them to take out the trash and shit. I’ll pay for everything, just take out the trash. That’s about it. Don’t have a dirty kitchen. Clean up after yourself.

You just turned 21, but I understand for your 18th birthday you had a party at Cicis. Take me through the Lil Yachty buffet situation at Cicis, a place I have very fond memories of from my high school days in Texas. Pepperoni, macaroni and cheese pizza, and then I’m going straight to the brownies with the icing on top, that pizza with the chocolate drizzle and shit all over it. Then some cinnamon buns.

You tried out a pizza popup. Would you buy a Cicis? I need to. I gotta look into that. I want to open my own pizza place. I got to get into that stuff. I want to do a lot of things that I always say I want to do. I’ve just got to start doing them.

On a different subject: There’s adjusting to being in the public eye, and then there’s the press tour adjustment, where, especially in hip hop, you’ve gotta do the radio show appearances. Ugh, so many.

I know armchair analysis can be annoying, but I saw you on the Angie Martinez show recently, and you looked comfortable, like you were genuinely having a good time. It’s not that you looked uncomfortable back in 2016, but some of those interviews were obviously a little more contentious. It’s all about the interviewer, though. That makes or breaks the interview.

For sure. But on Summer Songs 2 in 2016 you had “For Hot 97.” You were engaging with that back-and-forth a little more. You just put out an album called Nuthin 2 Prove , so it seems like you’re trying to indicate you’re in a different place. Am I wrong? I don’t give a fuck no more. I’ve just been through so fucking much, man. I got over it and fed up with it. I stopped giving a fuck, to be honest. There are a lot of radio personalities that I don’t care to go see. But then there are ones that I do like. I love Angie Martinez. She’s a sweetheart.

You also told Angie that your mom talked to you all the time about having a plan for the future. You’re obviously only 21, but are you thinking about the next step? Do you already have that mapped out? Acting is where I want to be, so I’m going to try to make that my thing like I made rapping my thing. Everything takes work and time, but we’re going to get there.

Does that mean you’re giving up on music right now? No, no, of course not. But acting was so fun when I shot this movie, and I really want to see if I can flourish. It’s been a dream of mine.

This interview has been edited and condensed.

What if Lil Yachty’s ‘Poland’ contains the meaning of life?

The rapper’s strange new hit feels like viral funtime, but it might be bigger than that

Do people listen to music just so they can draw neat little career arcs on graph paper? It might feel that way if you’ve been following the digital chitchat around Lil Yachty’s latest single “ Poland ,” a discussion that seems bent on solving the mystery of how an enfant terrible becomes a pitchman for Target; then retrenches with a bunch of way-less-famous Michigan rappers simply because he’s a fan; then launches his own line of frozen pizzas; then arrives at this strange new hit, which sounds as cool and inscrutable as the other side of the moon.

The case seems crackable enough. Yachty contains multitudes. He’s more of a person than a business model, and his zigzagging curiosity feels more like an artistic impulse than a brand strategy. Good for him — and if adjacent artists start chasing after their own weirdo whims with even half of his zeal, good for all of us, because while “Poland” certainly tells us something about Yachty’s expansive sense of self, it tells us even more about life: That it’s cold, short, lonely, vast, absurd and yet, despite all of these things, incredibly fun.

It’s true, “I took the Wock to Poland” might not read like the year’s most mesmerizing pop mantra in keystroke form, but across those six words, Yachty makes his voice — a melodized yawn that has chafed low-imagination rap purists from the start — do something new, elongating the most flexible syllables and allowing them to tremble with Auto-Tuned vibrato. In this funny, freaky, emotionally extravagant, tragicomic gush, he sounds like a machine that’s learned how to cry.

So he spends the rest of the song proving he’s human, stressed out and lost in the cold. “Phone still ringing, battling all my demons,” Yachty rhymes, synthesizers swarming at his back. “I been fiending, baby girl, I been fiending.” Here, it’s almost better if you don’t know that “the Wock” is a reference to the recreational use of Wockhardt pharmaceutical-grade cough syrup — that way, it might sound like Yachty took the walk to Poland, a phrase that opens up all kinds of fresh metaphorical pathways. It’s an almost inconceivable micro-thrill, taking a wrong turn down a song this concise.

Concise might be an understatement, too. “Poland” only lasts for one minute and 23 seconds. Hook, verse, hook, see you next time. Go ahead and superimpose all of your paranoia about the death of the American attention span onto this song if you must, but then listen to it again. Yachty’s brevity is casually artful, highly playful and totally real. “Poland” isn’t short, it’s fleeting, and you might even find the meaning of life in the difference between the two.

Did you know

• Trivia The sequel to How High was considered in the late 2000s with Redman and Method Man. But it was on hold because Universal did not want to fund it. In late 2015, Redman stated that Danny DeVito signed him and Method Man back onto the film and a script was being written. He further stated that it would be released in 2017. In early 2017, the script has been rewritten because Redman and Method Man did not like the earlier drafts. Redman hoped to start filming between late 2017 and early 2018. As of late 2017, Redman said that it was being rewritten again. In addition, he said that he and Method Man would not be doing the film if the script would not be funny. The script got rewritten again in mid-2018 as MTV teamed up with Universal 1440. When production started in September 2018, Redman stated that he and Method Man were unaware about the fact that Universal 1440 and MTV went ahead with the sequel and didn't contact them until the beginning of production. Redman and Method Man declined to return when they got contacted after production began with Lil' Yachty and DC Young Fly. Now the sequel is an extremely insulting horrible unfunny straight to TV film that just used the How High brand name and certain celebrities to attract viewers.

TikTok Turned Lil Yachty’s ‘Poland’ Into a National Anthem

Lil Yachty’s “Poland” is 83 seconds long, jarringly repetitive, and purposefully obtuse. And yet, in the hands of TikTok , it’s become a smash, cracking the top half of the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the pride of its namesake country.

Not that Yachty intended any of this. “The song was a joke,” he said in a reaction video with YouTuber ZIAS! “Like, I was just trolling.” The hook—“I took the Woooooock to Polaaaaand”—is something he improv’d one night after seeing someone sipping a Poland Spring bottle in the studio. So the Poland he’s singing about could technically be Poland, Maine . (“Wock,” if you’re wondering, is a nod to Wockhardt cough syrup.) As the song went viral, internet sleuths tried to find out when Yachty might’ve gone to the Central European country and mostly came up empty-handed . The 25-year-old Atlanta rapper didn’t even plan to release the track , but he ended up putting it on SoundCloud after it found its way online.

The leak proved fortuitous. After “Poland” hit SoundCloud, TikTokkers transformed the song’s malleable chorus into gags about taking action stars overseas (“ I took the Rock to Poland ”) and staple items back to burrito chains (“I took the guac to Chipotle ”). Someone even made a loaf of bread emblazoned with the lyrics. It inspired more than 20,000 creations in a week.

No small number of those came from Poland itself. One video called Yachty’s name-drop a “ top 10 moment in Polish history .” Rapper Pat wrote , “This is the proudest I’ve been as a Polish person since [soccer player Robert] Lewandowski scored five goals in 9 minutes.” Another user referred to it as Poland’s new national anthem.

Nikodem Rachoń, a spokesperson for the Polish embassy in Washington, DC, says that he hopes the rapper will one day visit the country, and that the embassy would be glad to facilitate the trip. He even added a bit of music criticism: “I'm pretty sure that on such an occasion, he would have lots of opportunities to find some new inspiration for the next verses the song still apparently needs."

Rapper Kinny Zimmer says that as soon as he heard the track, he was “sure it would become viral.” As someone who loves modern Polish culture, he hopes that Yachty’s song will root his home country in the minds of Americans and teach his countrymates “how beautiful our Polish aesthetics are.” Rapper Pezet confessed to preferring a “more old-school sound” than that on “Poland” but liked its “cool new vibe” and hoped it could inspire collaborations between Polish and US hip-hop artists. 

Others are embracing the song even more fully. Bedoes has dropped a “Poland” remix; in the video, he’s shirtless on a boat with an ax and a glow-in-the-dark shield . “Lil Yachty mentioning my country was a meme to me,” he says, “but it was also kind of surrealistic, because him being a top artist, known worldwide, rapping about my country was really special. I knew all the ways that it probably was a coincidence that he mentioned Poland, but still, that was really special.” He, too, hopes the strange hit leads to an increased appreciation of Polish culture. “Maybe pierogis with Wock?” he jokes. 

Unexpectedly for such a fun lark, there’s a thornier geopolitical angle involved with “Poland.” As Lil Yachty’s song spread, messages began circulating on Twitter that Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki had invited the rapper to visit his country. Local media soon debunked the rumor . Anyone fearing increased authoritarianism in Europe might be pleased to know that Yachty isn’t actually liaising with Morawiecki, who represents the ruling Law and Justice Party, which has been criticized for a crackdown on judicial independence and a general slide away from democratic principles . 

As of this writing, TikTok videos tagged #lilyachtypoland are hovering close to 6 million views , search results for the song top 1 billion . Yachty’s own “Poland” video has been viewed more than 14 million times. Ultimately, it's unclear if his song will have a lasting impact on appreciation for Polish culture worldwide, but in a message from the artist on that video's YouTube page , the rapper makes clear it's a song for regular folks: “You're welcome Polish people, you now have Wock.”

Lil Yachty and Tierra Whack Are Ready to Rethink Everything: ‘I’d Rather Take the Risk and Take the L’

By Delisa Shannon

Delisa Shannon

L il Yachty and Tierra Whack are two of the more inventive artists in hip-hop today — two wildly original talents who have charted their own paths without following anyone else’s trends. If you’re going to compare them to anyone, though, it might as well be each other. Both started their careers in places with rich musical histories: Yachty began rapping as a teen in the hitmaking playground of Atlanta, while Tierra sharpened her pen and earned a spot in the history of slick MCs who call Philadelphia home. Both found success suddenly, both challenged preconceived ideas about rap stardom, and both are now at a crossroads in their careers, searching for new heights and making way for evolution in their work. 

There’s an atmosphere of mutual respect in the air. There’s also a little tension — especially when Yachty points out that his adventurous , acclaimed psych-rock album Let’s Start Here was snubbed in the Grammy nominations a few hours earlier. That oversight seems worlds away, though, as he and Tierra joke, riff, and argue like the old friends they are. Both of them share new music with their audience: Yachty pulls out his phone to share some unreleased heat, while Tierra screens the absurdly original music video for her single “Chanel Pit” and a teaser for her Hulu documentary, Cypher .

The whole conversation feels like a glimpse into the future that leaves everyone eagerly awaiting more. But first, the two artists kick it off by talking about some past influences.

Every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, inside sammy davis jr.'s secret satanic past .

Lil Yachty: For me, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon … I heard that album, and it altered my perspective on music, in its entirety. After hearing that album, it sunk into my brain that we have been so limited with our content, compared to the things that we are able to do. Man, there’s endless ways to form a sonic wave. That album came out when there was no Auto-Tune, no ProTools, no FruityLoops. This is all hardware, you know what I’m saying? Like, these niggas is old . I realized that through the years, while we got all this great, amazing advanced technology, my personal opinion is that it handicapped us as creatives. Back then all you had was your brain and your skills, you what know I’m saying? I got really obsessed with watching old artists’ live performance videos. I just think about, “Man, them niggas had no in-ears.”

Tierra Whack: Just rawdoggin’ it.

Tierra whack is spending her summer creating for the hell of it — here’s how, sia is the motivational speaker she needs on 'reasonable woman'.

Lil Yachty: [Indicating Tierra.] I’ve always been one of her biggest fans.

Tierra Whack: I have a lot of rapper friends. But this is, like, my real friend. He’s been there since day one. When people weren’t sure about me — like, “Yo, she’s kind of weird” — he was posting me, showing me love, reaching out, checking on me. The most genuine artist that I know. And I’m so happy that people are finally seeing what I saw in you also. You are a megastar. 

Lil Yachty: I just want respect. For so long, I feel like I’ve yet to get it. And the older I get, the more important it is to me, because music is my life. This is what I’ve cared about most of my life. A lot of people may have not taken me seriously for different reasons. Maybe because of the era I came in, or maybe because I had red hair and I was a kid —

Tierra Whack: Hey. 

[Audience laughs.]

Lil Yachty: I’m talking about at the time, 2016.

Tierra Whack: He’s like, “Red hair is so old news.”

Lil Yachty: [Laughs.] I completely forgot you got red hair.

Tierra Whack: I’m bringing it back.

The place that hip-hop is in right now is a terrible place. It’s a lot of imitation. It’s a lot of quick, low-quality music being put out. It’s a lot less originality. — Lil Yachty

Lil Yachty: I don’t know what it is, but I just feel like people always kind of treated me like a kid. Like some Kidz Bop rapper or some shit. I’m like, “I really do this shit!” I was always the kid to be like, “OK, cool. You think this trash? I’m gonna go fix it. I’m gonna get better. I’m gonna come back.”

Tierra Whack: I just want to make music and art that I’m proud of. That’s it. Period. I can name “Caught Out There” by Kelis: I love that song. I wish I made it. If I can make a song and be so proud of it, like I can’t believe that I made it, I’m good. That’s all I need. I just want to be proud of my own art.

Where do you think hip-hop is right now?  

Tierra Whack: It’s very diverse. You can do whatever you want. You can be whoever you want. Just freedom.

Lil Yachty: This shit sucks. The place that hip-hop is in right now is a terrible place. What are you talking about? … The state of hip-hop right now, it’s a lot of imitation. It’s a lot of quick, low-quality music being put out. It’s trendy. It’s a lot less risk-taking. It’s a lot less originality.

Tierra Whack: This is the viral post. I always call it, like, that’s gonna be the viral post of this.

Lil Yachty: I’m just saying people are too safe now. I’d rather take the risk and take the L.

Tierra Whack: I love it.

Lil Yachty: I want you to tell me. Tell me about the artists who are really, really pushing the culture and trying to be original and really trying to take risks — without naming Tyler .

Tierra Whack: Or Tierra, or Yachty.

Honestly, one of my favorites is J.I.D right now …

Lil Yachty: I love J.I.D. J.I.D is such a beautiful person. He got the spirit of, like, a real Atlanta negro. And he is such a good, kind person. He just always embraced me with open arms. I’ve never heard a bad verse from J.I.D ever.… I got a verse from J.I.D in my phone.

Tierra Whack: Which phone? How many phones do you have?

Lil Yachty: I got enough.

Tierra Whack: I have all his numbers in one group message. So he has no choice but to reply.

Lil Yachty: I want to ask you a question, T.

Tierra Whack: What’s up?

Lil Yachty: It’s a serious question. I want to talk about being a woman in hip-hop. And not only being a woman in hip-hop, you’re a dark-skinned woman in hip-hop. And praise to that, right? But I just want to talk about what comes with that. I just feel like, and you can correct me if I’m wrong … I just feel like being a dark-skinned woman in hip-hop, it gives you certain obstacles that I think if you were light-skin — 

Lil Yachty: How do you feel? Where’s your standpoint on it? Like, do you feel like niggas be playing with you?

Tierra Whack: Everybody knows I can outrap, like, almost everybody. Everybody knows that.

Lil Yachty: Of course, but … Nowadays, sometimes it’s not even about talent. It’s not even about skill.

Tierra Whack: That’s true.

Lil Yachty: I don’t know what woman can rap better. I personally don’t know one that could rap better than you. Do you ever feel like something ain’t adding up? Because I do.

Tierra Whack: Sometimes. But not for the most part. I think sometimes people force that on me. Like, that question — I get asked that often. And baby, the people love me. The brands…. I be on everything. Listen. They love Whack. And I’m following your footsteps. What year was your XXL cover? 

Lil Yachty: 2016. 

Tierra Whack: You got good memory.

Lil Yachty: It’s my career. [Audience laughs.]

If I can make a song and be so proud of it, like I can’t believe that I made it, I’m good. That’s all I need. I just want to be proud of my own art. — Tierra Whack

Tierra Whack: You were the best rapper on that cover, if I’m being all the way honest. You were able to keep a clean image. You weren’t really promoting drugs or violence or any of that. You were literally my twin, you know?

Lil Yachty: Do you think not talking about those things makes it harder?

Tierra Whack: The people that I looked up to growing up — my mom is a really strong, independent woman. She’s Black, of course. Black, strong, independent woman. She worked hard. She wasn’t selling her body, showing her body. I had a perfect role model. And then musically, Lauryn Hill was my everything. So I’m just following the people I look up to.

Lil Yachty: It’s not what I asked you at all.

Tierra Whack: What? What’d you ask me? I’m sorry.

Lil Yachty: I’m asking you, do you think that …

Tierra Whack: It’s not hard to not talk about sex.

Lil Yachty: That’s not what I’m asking.

Tierra Whack: OK, I don’t understand. I’m sorry.

Lil Yachty: You’re not fucking listening. [Smiles.] I’m asking you, do you think it’s harder to gain certain traction?

Lil Yachty: Fuck you.

Tierra Whack: Is that it? Can somebody else explain?

Lil Yachty: I keep trying to tell you from my perspective …

Tierra Whack: And I’m talking. Let me shut up.

Lil Yachty: What I was trying to say to you is that when I was 18 years old, right?

Tierra Whack: That was, like, yesterday.

Lil Yachty: I’m 26. Almost eight years ago, OK. It’s been a long time … still here, by the way. They said I had one song. When I was younger, and coming up, the class I was a part of glorified drugs, face tats, everything under the book, you know. And what I learned as I got older — I’m grateful for the fan base I have. It’s a huge fan base, and the love is real. But I always realized that I never had the fan base of certain peers because I didn’t glorify negativity. I didn’t glorify things that I didn’t stand by, you know. What I was trying to see is if you felt like that was something you [experienced] because you don’t glorify shaking big booty …

Tierra Whack: I could.

Lil Yachty: Right. But did you, too, see any of those challenges? Or not really?

Tierra Whack: No. If I’m just being myself and following my own path, I can’t see anything else. I’m just focused on me and having fun and being myself.

Lil Yachty: I love that. … By the way, I was snubbed on a Grammy nomination today.

[Audience claps.]

Lil Yachty: What the fuck is y’all clapping for?

Tierra Whack: Let’s talk about it.

Lil Yachty: I said I was snubbed. Fuck y’all. Y’all supposed to boo. 

[Audience boos in solidarity.]

Lil Yachty: Exactly. OK, anyways. We kind of talked about it, but I was just gonna talk about not getting the credit that we deserve. Because I just think you are the best.

Tierra Whack: Thank you. You see how he’s sharing his platform with me? I love that. People don’t do that anymore. I really appreciate it.

Lil Yachty: Why are you holding the mic with two hands?

Tierra Whack: I don’t know. I need a mic stand. I wanted to start singing. [Starts singing Drake a cappella] “I can see it in your eyes, you’re angry …” [Starts imitating Lou Rawls ] “ You’ll never find …”

Tierra Whack: I’m really excited and happy. I just dropped a new song and video. I’m proud of it.

Lil Yachty: First time in how long?

Tierra Whack: It’s been a while. It’s been a long time. But it’s a badass video. One take. I went through a car wash — like, I actually went through a car wash. I was so afraid. I had anxiety. I was like, “I don’t know if I can do this.” But I did it.

[Tierra screens her “Chanel Pit” video.]

Tierra Whack: You know what I love about us, too? We’re not afraid to look silly or get embarrassed.

Lil Yachty: She’s so cool.

Tierra Whack: It took a long time to get my videos done. I have a lot of videos stacked now. And before that, I just wasn’t making stuff that I was proud of. I’m not just going to put out bullshit. It’s gonna be stuff I really care about.

[Yachty plays an unreleased collaboration with J. Cole off his phone.]

Tierra Whack: Yo, yo, yo. Add a third verse, yo! Let me get a piece of that, yo. I don’t ask for shit, but I want a piece of that. Talk to Jermaine for me. I feel like I can hold my own. Cole is crazy.

Lil Yachty: Cole is crazy. Me and Cole just recently just connected on a different level … I think we both fell in love with the idea — like, on paper it doesn’t really make sense for us to be making records together.

Tierra Whack: Literally the odd couple. I love that.

Tierra Whack: You gotta play one of ours, though. We’re here together. You have to. Oh, hurry up and play it.

Lil Yachty: Girl, fuck you.

Tierra Whack: Oh, you’re so mean. Is it that time of the month?

Lil Yachty: This is how me and her are, just all the time.

Tierra Whack: Yup, he’s a bitch.

Lil Yachty: She’s just as crazy as me. You think I’m crazy? She’s crazy. 

[Yachty plays an unreleased collaboration with Tierra Whack.]

Lil Yachty: I think I hit you a month later, like, “Bruh, I’m still learning new bars you said in that song.” I love putting her on records because I want anyone who fuck with me to be like, “This is what you really need to be listening to.” I swear to God, I be so happy bro.

Lil Yachty: Yeah, but you know what it is? I don’t think it’s “I got balls.” I just don’t have ego. I want to see you win. I want to see you at the top of the mountain.

Lil Yachty And Veeze Are Unapologetic About Their Lifestyles In The ‘Sorry Not Sorry’ Video

Lil Yacthy has taken a hiatus from social media, but not from the booth. Today (August 16), two of the “ Hate Me ” rapper’s latest collaborations hit streaming platforms.

As an added bonus, Lil Yachty’s joint track with Veeze , “Sorry Not Sorry,” arrived with an official video presented by Lyrical Lemonade .

The moody visual — co-directed by AMD and Little Miles — has one purpose: to show both recording artists in their elements. As Veeze enjoys a double-cup drink, he lists off what he’s being able to accomplish with his fame.

“I done popped out, feelin’ like Odd Future, Tyler, the Creator my Luis / Them boys ain’t smoked like five opps, that’s a whole pack of loose-leaf / This eighth came straight from auntie / We pink slip boys, no car lease / My cup all pink like a Barbie / I’m sorry, not sorry like Beyoncé,” raps Veeze.

In his verse, Lil Yachty puts up what Veeze laid down in the record’s opening. “I got seven homes filled with clothes, Sauce on the way in this b*tch / I ain’t talkin’ ’bout no TV shows, but I still got Bear in this bitch / I had to figure it out the hard way, no, I don’t care, lil’ b*tch / I never talk sh*t online, but check it in real life, I’ll never struggle again / I done helped out my mans / I put my mom in a brand new Benz,” raps Yachty.

He makes it clear that he hears on the online chatter, but frankly he just doesn’t care.

Watch Lil Yachty and Veeze’s official video for “Sorry Not Sorry” above.

Everything You Need to Know About Lil Tjay

Lil Tjay is one of the biggest breakout artists of 2019. Here's everything you need to know about the New York rapper.

In just two years, Lil Tjay went from spending his days in a youth detention center to becoming one of the biggest breakout rappers of 2019.

Tione Dalyan Merritt was born six months before 9/11, on April 30, 2001, in the South Bronx, New York. Tjay spent his early teenage years getting into fights and pulling off petty robberies, which landed him in a youth detention center in 2016, when he was 15. After returning home in late 2017, he started releasing music on SoundCloud. Over the next year, he started gaining momentum, as singles “Resume,” “Brothers,” “Leaked,” and “None of Your Love” racked up millions of plays.

This summer, with label backing from Columbia Records and a rapidly growing following of young fans, Tjay catapulted to stardom on the back of his scene-stealing guest appearance on Polo G’s hit single, “Pop Out,” which peaked inside the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Fresh off high-profile features alongside artists like French Montana (“Slide”) and Pop Smoke (“War”), Tjay appears ready to make another leap with his new album, True 2 Myself . To celebrate its release, here are ten things you need to know about Lil Tjay.

Lil Tjay started writing raps while serving a one year sentence in juvenile detention

According to the Bronx rapper, he was locked up for a “little over a year” on a robbery charge. While imprisoned, he practiced the fundamentals for his rapping career. “It was not fun,” he told Rolling Stone . “It’s not nothing that I would want to do again, but I learned a lot from it. I feel like if I wasn’t to go to jail, I probably wouldn’t be the person I am—I wouldn’t. ’Cause I wouldn’t have sat down and wrote those songs and I never would’ve been able to focus on what I want to accomplish. So it’s like it was actually a good thing for me. It made me open my eyes and stuff like that.”

His first viral hit was “Resume”

After spending a year in juvenile detention, Tjay was granted his freedom in late 2017. When he got out, he dropped  “Resume,” which was recorded the first time he was in a studio. When he released the song on SoundCloud, Tjay barely had a social media presence. The only platform he used was Facebook. By his estimate, on the second day of its release, the song had 5,000 listens. Soon after, it became a viral hit, with an accompanying homemade visual that featured Tjay smoking and hanging out in a small, plain, white-walled apartment.

During an interview with Rolling Stone last January , Tjay explained how the track became an overnight success story. “I just posted the link and I just made sure all my friends posted it,” he recalled. “Everybody heard the song before it dropped and they was like, ‘Yo, you gotta drop this.’ And then I just dropped it. Everybody I knew posted it at one time, and then just I guess other people from different places started reposting it and they actually listened to it and then it started to go crazy.”

He started taking a rap career seriously in 2018

After the positive response of “Resume”—which had amassed 13.7 million streams on SoundCloud and over 8.5 million views on YouTube within a year of its release —Tjay decided to avoid the block and instead hunker down with a notebook and pen. “I had to dedicate myself, because if this didn’t work, I didn’t know what would be next,” he says.  Over the course of 2018, Tjay raised his profile in the mainstream with viral hits like “Brothers,” “Goat,” and “None of Your Love,” before dropping his EP, No Comparison , last December.

He scored his first top 20 hit on Polo G’s “Pop Out”

After signing with Columbia Records last January, Tjay joined forces with the label’s other rising star, Polo G, on the Chicago rapper’s debut single, “Pop Out.” Released on January 13, their collaboration quickly became a hit. According to Genius , the song averaged 1,564 daily page views in January before rising to 1,885 average daily page views in February. Then, in April, “Pop Out” debuted at No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100. Two months later, the single cracked the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart on June 15, before peaking at No. 11 on the Hot 100 the following week.

He credits Michael Jackson, Usher, R. Kelly, and Justin Bieber with influencing his melodic style

Despite hailing from the same borough as French Montana, Cardi B, and A Boogie wit da Hoodie, the influences that Tjay names aren’t rappers; they’re pop and R&B singers like Usher, Michael Jackson, and Justin Bieber. During an interview with Pitchfork last January , when asked if Bieber inspired his melodic style of rapping, Tjay responded, “It might’ve been a combination of Bieber and the old R&B my mom would play, like MJ, R. Kelly, and Usher. I would sing them all the time, and that’s when I knew my voice was special.”

He is interested in making straight-ahead R&B songs

While discussing his melodic rapping style during an interview  with Ebro Darden , Tjay was asked if he plans on crafting straight-ahead R&B songs. According to the Bronx rapper, he’s already recorded a few love joints, including one that leans heavily toward the R&B side of things, and a few others that are “for the girls.”

He wants to sample Justin Bieber’s “One Less Lonely Girl”

After sampling Justin Bieber’s hit single, “Baby,” on “None of Your Love,” Tjay told Pitchfork that people on Facebook started calling him the Bronx Justin Bieber. He also hinted at potentially recording more Bieber-inspired songs in the future. “That sample is crazy, but what I really want to sample next is that “One Less Lonely Girl.”

From an early age, he knew he would be famous

Tjay insists that his newfound fame was all part of his master plan. “I knew I wanted to make music since I was young. I used to just watch Justin Bieber videos and be like, ‘Damn, this is going to be me,’” he told Pitchfork. “I never thought about how I was going to get there, but I knew it would happen.”

Speaking with XXL in August, he spoke on the subject with even more confidence: “My dream job growing up was always to be an artist. It wasn’t even that I would be a rapper or singer; I just knew I would be a public figure. I always imagined it would happen, and have never really doubted it.”

He is already focused on longevity

Unlike many of his peers, who move from video to video, song to song, with daft quickness, Tjay is already thinking about his legacy. “I won’t drop an album until it’s perfect,” he says. “A lot of albums got two or three singles but the rest is caca. I want every song on it to be a hit.” Tjay adds, “My whole life I wanted something more—I didn’t get here just to be broke at 28. I have plans: vocal lessons, dance lessons, on some Usher shit.”

Fame has changed his relationships

“My situation is unique, and if a girl my age got more than me she has probably had it her whole life,” he told Pitchfork. “[Since] we’re not the same, that’s not what I’m looking for. I need someone like me, but not really. Because I been through things. I got feelings for somebody right now, though, a regular girl from the Bronx. She from the block actually, no celebrity, not rich.”

When asked why he can’t commit to his love interest, Tjay explained how his newfound fame has changed the way he looks at relationships. “Because it didn’t start till after [I got popular]. Like bro, we didn’t have this before, and there’s something in the back of my mind that tells me that. But she’s easy to talk to about regular shit. I make sure she doing her homework, she gonna graduate soon. I should’ve been about to graduate too, but she keeps me on my grind.”

Who is Bobbi Althoff? The TikToker who seemingly went from obscurity to having to shut down rumors she hooked up with rapper Drake

• Bobbi Althoff has taken over TikTok — and social media at-large — with her alluringly awkward podcast clips.
• She has only produced a handful of episodes, but they include big names like Drake and Lil Yachty.
• Before making her comedic podcast, "The Really Good Podcast," she found fame as a mom influencer.

25-year-old Bobbi Althoff is quickly becoming one of the biggest and most polarizing podcasters of the year.

Althoff first became known as a mom influencer on TikTok (or a MomToker) before privatizing her account and reemerging with comedic content. Clips from her podcast "The Really Good Podcast" have amassed tens of millions of views on the app. Since launching the podcast in 2021, she's managed to score A-list interviews with Drake and Lil Yachty, among others, in a shockingly short amount of time. 

The quick rise in success has also led some to accuse the influencer and host of being an industry plant .

Along with her star-studded guests, Althoff herself has become famous (or infamous, rather) for a deliberately deadpan persona. Her interviews aren't in the traditional Q&A format; they're dry and intentionally awkward, like episodes of Nathan Fielder's surreal comedy "Nathan For You." The influencer talks slowly and quietly, almost as if performing ASMR, and often instigates or leaves deliberate pauses to create discomfort. The humor of her videos is less about punch lines and more about seeing the baffled and unexpected reactions from the celebrities she interviews. Her podcast clips are often in video format, so the facial expressions of her and her guests play a crucial role. 

As people are feverishly asking and googling who Bobbi Althoff is , here is what you need to know about the woman who some people feel "popped up out of thin air." 

Althoff first found some success as a MomTok influencer.

Althoff first found internet fame as a mom influencer, according to TODAY . Her original account, @bobbialthon, has over 1.2 million followers but has been set to private. In the comments of a video published to her new channel, @bobbialthoff , in early 2022, she said she was turning the first account into a spam account and will be focusing full-time on comedy.

In videos that are still available to view from her old channel because of other people stitching them, she appeared to once offer sarcastic parenting advice: In one clip, she said she doesn't believe in allowing babies to crawl ; in another, she proudly said she named her daughter "Richard."

@griffinlouise61 #stitch with @bobbialthoff #crawlingisanaturalpartofdevelopement #babiesdevelopement #walkingisprobalymoredangerousthancrawling #personalopinion ♬ original sound - louise

Her new channel, which has almost 5 million followers, also features videos about being a mom, with many of them documenting her pregnancy in 2021 and 2022. Similar to how she jokingly called her daughter "Richard," she said she named her second child "Concrete."

Althoff stopped posting personal life content on TikTok around April of this year, which is also when she began uploading her podcast clips.

Althoff launched her podcast in early 2023.

"The Really Good Podcast" has only had a handful of guests to date.

In an ironic twist of fate, her first guest was YouTuber Colleen Ballinger, who has faced serious  backlash this year after multiple former fans accused her of having an inappropriate relationship with them when they were underage. While Ballinger's fanbase continues to dwindle, Althoff's has grown immensely. 

In one clip of the episode uploaded to her Instagram in April, Althoff and Ballinger jokingly argued about whether Althoff invited her on the podcast or if she requested to be on it. The description of the post says that the full podcast is available on Althoff's YouTube channel, but the episode appears to have since been taken down.

Her next guest was Rick Glassman, a comedian and actor known for his role in the NBC sitcom "Undateable." She's posted excerpts from the podcast to her TikTok and Instagram with deliberately combative captions like, "This d-list actor tried to get me canceled on my own podcast… "

Viewers said they actually enjoyed how stressful it is to watch her interviews, with some saying they like the idea of a host and guest fighting to make each other uncomfortable.

Althoff began to gain traction with other influencer comedians. Then Drake's appearance shocked everyone.

After Glassman, Althoff interviewed the comedian Deric Cahill and the TikToker Morgan Presley , but the podcasts appear to have been taken down except for a few stray clips.

Althoff and her podcast started going viral after featuring clips with Funny Marco, an internet-famous comedian with millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram. She uploaded nine excerpts from her video podcast with Funny Marco, which have been viewed a cumulative 70 million times. Her biggest Marco clip featured him ambiguously asking her if she "was easy," and she intentionally misinterpreted the question (as in easy to get along with). 

@bobbialthoff I will be posting the rest of my interview with Drake to YouTube soon… ♬ original sound - Bobbi

She then skyrocketed in searches and popularity after releasing a long interview with Drake earlier this month. In the clips that have individually gone viral, she and the rapper are sitting under blankets in a bed, but she appears stern and indifferent towards him the entire time. In the most viewed clip of the episode, the two jokingly spar after Althoff calls Drake out for referencing his own song at one point.

Althoff's next guest will be Lil Yachty.

This week, Althoff posted a video teasing that rapper Lil Yachty would be her next guest. The teaser clip, which already has over 7 million views, features the two squabbling after Yachty imagines a future scenario where he meets her at a Pizza Hut.

"I would love to see you at a Pizza Hut takeout one day in like five years, as you're getting in your fucking Bentley, with your Chanel shades on," the rapper joked.

The podcast episode is set to premiere on Thursday.

@bobbialthoff My interview with @lilyachty ♬ original sound - Bobbi

Comments under Althoff's videos have begun to fill up with fans requesting interviews with other stars, like Tyler, the Creator, Post Malone, and Kevin Gates. Replying to a comment requesting she interview the comedian Theo Von, Althoff said, "Soon."

Amid her success, Althoff has been accused of being an "industry plant."

Althoff's sudden rise to ubiquity on social media has startled some internet users, who are now accusing her of being an industry plant, a term for people who quickly rise to fame because it's suspected they have the secret backing of industry professionals.

People are demanding to know how she quickly locked collaborations with massive celebrities like Drake and Yachty on her show. And how a white woman grew a platform to interview Black celebrities: "Does her father own Drake's masters? I'm trying to figure out how this industry plant is interviewing Drake when respected Black journalists can't even get a nod from him," one person tweeted .

Others have accused her of stealing Funny Marco's style of comedy since he has a similarly surrealist and deadpan approach.

Insider has reached out to Althoff for comment.

While she has not addressed these criticisms or allegations publicly, before her recent surge in virality, she had a sizable fanbase on TikTok for years.

After the Drake video mysteriously disappeared from Althoff's YouTube channel, rumors sparked about their friendship.

@bobbialthoff Really in my element here @ this guys concert ♬ original sound - Bobbi

On August 13, Althoff posted a video to her TikTok account which showed her standing, arms crossed, looking unimpressed at a concert while Drake could be heard performing in the background. 

"Really in my element here @ this guys concert," the caption of the video read, which received over 25.7 million views. 

As of a day later, the interview featuring Drake had been removed from both YouTube and Spotify, and clips featuring the same interview were deleted from Althoff's TikTok account, and fans noticed the two had also unfollowed each other on Instagram, prompting speculation they'd had a rift, Insider previously reported . 

Althoff shut down rumors that she 'hooked up' with Drake, according to Instagram DMs she leaked to set the record straight.

Althoff appeared on Dave Portnoy's podcast "BFFS" on August 11 where she discussed the Drake interview.

It appears a short video was uploaded to tease the episode, which was edited to make it look as though Portnoy was about to reveal Althoff told him there had been a sexual relationship between her and Drake.

In Response, Althoff publicly revealed screenshots of what appeared to be Instagram DMs between her and Portnoy in which he had written, "My girlfriend says you hooked up with Drake and got divorced. I am saying that is not true."

Althoff responded, "I am not commenting publicly but off the record, you're right that is not true."

In a video posted to TikTok on August 17, which received 2.6 million views, Portnoy apologized for a section of his podcast where he had spoken about the private messages and wrote the clip had been edited by his social media team "to make it seem juicy which is bullshit."

Lil Yachty Sends Drake Fans Into A Frenzy By Unfollowing Him On IG

It seems like fans will spend "Another Late Night" theorizing and speculating as to who Drake is beefing with next. Moreover, some eagle-eyed fans on social media recently noticed that Lil Yachty seemed to unfollow him on Instagram. This shocked a lot of admirers thanks to the duo's strong collaborative and personal relationship prior to this, as well as the fact that they engaged with each other online as much as in person. Furthermore, OVO and Concrete supporters immediately got into detective mode, speculating that the supposed upcoming release of Drizzy's " Supersoak " has something to do with it.

If you didn't already know, DJ Akademiks previewed a clip of the music video for this song, which originally featured Lil Yachty. In fact, it was Yachty who leaked the original collab version of the song to Kai Cenat for him to play it on his livestream. This was because they couldn't clear the sample, as the sampled artist Mr. Hotspot's religious views prompted him to demand a clean version of the team-up . With this new development in mind, many speculate that Mr. Hotspot is mad at Yachty for revealing all this on a podcast, and told the 6ix God that he could drop it if he removed his partner.

Lil Yachty Seemingly Unfollows Drake

Of course, that's just an unfounded theory, and so will any others before one of them actually speaks out about it. Still, we're not even inclined to believe that this indicates a rift between the two, as it could just as easily be a promo tactic. Nevertheless, it's not like Drake and Lil Yachty's relationship has all been peaches and cream. For example, the latter's thoughts on the former's beef with Kendrick Lamar resulted in considerable uproar from the Toronto superstar's die-hards.

Regardless, we'll see if Drake and Lil Yachty speak on this at any point. It's not like every fan loved this collab , but fans worry about this partnership fading. After all, they picked a pretty contentious and controversial moment to stir even more rumors about who is or isn't beefing. Are they bamboozling us just to troll or is there something deeper going on?
