Overview
- Lil Yachty responded on X to a fan blaming him for the unreleased Drake and Lil Uzi Vert song, writing that the sample did not get cleared.
- The track, widely referred to as “At the Gates,” first surfaced online in 2021 and was later previewed by Drake on his SiriusXM show in 2023.
- Yachty reiterated he has no problem with Lil Uzi Vert, recalling a recent encounter and rejecting rumors of personal friction.
- HotNewHipHop reports the disputed sample has been linked by fans to Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” a claim not officially confirmed.
- Complex notes an official release appears unlikely soon unless Drake’s team resolves the clearance issue, with the song’s age reducing the incentive to act.
