There are numerous people that disagree with Lil Yachty’s opinion that Atlanta is the real home of fashion and trends and the Big Apple is only biting off of ATL’s swag, but Dipset soldier Juelz Santana and NYC driller Fivio Foreign took offense to his statement and wasted no time addressing Boat and his take on fashion.
On one of the more recent episodes of Yachty’s A Safe Place Podcast, he claimed that ATL is the real home fothe trendsetters and New York is merely taking pages out of ATL’s fashion sense.
“I feel like New York didn’t have this…I don’t want to say identity, but everyone used to just kinda copy Atlanta,” he said to podcast guest and New York native Cash Cobain. “You said it yourself. Even, like, the influence was extremely heavy from Atlanta […] As far as style goes, I don’t think it’s shit going on when it comes to New York fashion.”
He even took aim at people from specific boroughs like Queens and the BVronx, saying, “I feel just people on those outskirts — Queens, Bronx — do they even come to [Manhattan to shop]?”
Juelz took to IG to respond to Boat’s comments, saying, “WE all Love Atl But did @lilyachty SAY say the flyes [ninja emoji] N the Most TRENDSETTERS Came from ALT WOW Much love bro,” he wrote.
Santana then highlighted some of NYC’s fashion forward artits that have influenced the culture over the years, stating, “No luv lost br but, NEVER MIND!!!! PS @souljaboy I Don’t wWant No [smoke emoji] y’all got it @jimjonescapo they tryint to erase us from history I’m not even gonn name up @asaprocky @myfabolouslife @ceoslow @vado_mh @bloodyosiris @soberyungwalter @whodecideswar @murderbravado.”
Fivio Foreign also chimed in, writing on X (formerly Twitter), “How Yatchy say ATL dress better then ny w a whole NY fit.”
After the backlash, Boat seemed th backpedal on some of his sentiment, saying, “When you go back to a certain time, it’s for sure New York. But if you think about lately, all the trends come from Atlanta! First off, I got nothing but love for New York. I think a lot of the flyest people in the world were born in New York. I apologize to the Bronx if they feel some kind of way about that comment. Amiri down, do your thing. I be in New York so don’t fucking rob me. It was a joke.”
