Lil Yachty made headlines this week after claiming that Black Lives Matter is a “scam.”
The rapper appeared on Quenlin Blackwell’s cooking show, Feeding Starving Influencers, who asked him whether he supported Black Lives Matter.
“BLM? BLM is a scam. BLM… it was literally a scam,” he said. “They had bought mansions and… You probably wouldn’t know anything about it because you don’t care about Black people and you don’t follow Black news.”

BLM lost major credibility in 2022 after New York Magazine reported on the organization purchasing a nearly $6 million property in cash in October 2020 with money donated to BLMGNF (Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation).”
“There have been a lot of questions surrounding recent reports about the purchase of Creator’s House in California,” Black Lives Matter official Twitter account posted at the time. “Despite past efforts, BLMGNF recognizes that there is more work to do to increase transparency and ensure transitions in leadership are clear,” it added.
