Lil Yachty feeling remorseful about stepping into the Nicki-Cardi drama.
During his sit-down with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, Yachty looked back at his 2018 comments when he said he’d pass on working with Nicki because of his friendship with Cardi and Offset.
“I respect both of these women, right? Aside from the differences—and I think they are both very talented women in the industry who have, rightfully so, are on their way to the top,” Yachty shared around 2 hours and 20 minutes into the clip above.
“And to be honest, I really just—I hated that I even answered that question because I kind of just inserted myself in something I had nothing to do with,” he confessed.
The Pink Friday 2 artist still has Yachty blocked, despite his many sorrys and peace offerings. He shut down rumors that he got Drake to try and smooth things over with Nicki.
When Sharpe brought up the beef between female rappers, mentioning Nicki’s drama with Megan Thee Stallion and Remy Ma, Yachty played it cool.
“I don’t know, I love them all,” he said, before showing love to the new wave of female MCs like Sexyy Red, Doechii, and GloRilla.
“GloRilla is just thriving at the highest level,” he beamed. “She’s sick, she’s authentic. She’s herself … She ain’t trying to be nothing else and she got that energy, man.”
Sharpe had to bring up the Barbs and their infamous online presence.
“Them Barbs was on your head though … and you got some DMs then. I bet you saw those,” Unc teased.
“And the craziest thing is that I was a part of the Barbs. I love Nicki, bro. I still do,” Yachty admitted. “I was young and I inserted myself in some shit I really ain’t had no business doing.”
“So again, it was an apology to Cardi,” he caught himself. “To Nicki and to Cardi, because Cardi … didn’t say, ‘Go out there and speak for me.’ She didn’t. So I apologize to all that, and I tell you, I’ll never put myself in no shit ever again, I swear to God.”
