Lil Yachty Shows Off New Hair Style

Lil Yachty isn’t waiting for the new year to show off his new self, taking to Instagram Live on Monday (Dec. 19) to show off a new hair style. Yachty has let his signature braids and beads go, his red locks still as colorful as ever.

“See this right here? The James Brown look, you know?,” he says. “I’m working on my album. This look means seriousness. This hair do means hits. And to Funkmaster Flex this means a lot of mumble rap.” Jay Z was known to miss the barber’s seat whenever he was in album mode, Yachty likewise switching his style up.

In November, Yachty said of recording his debut album, “I have so many amazing songs that we never put out. But we’ve been on tour, and I keep trying to record on tour but I keep losing my voice. And it’s just hard for me to record, 100 percent. So once I get off tour on the 18th, we’re really just gonna lock in and just start completely fresh. So there’s no songs: we’re really just gonna make it in three or four weeks.”

As for his Funk Flex remarks, the Hot 97 DJ called Yachty out by name recently during an on-air screed against mumble rappers. Yachty responded via Twitter, writing, “If it ain’t one hot 97 dj it’s another lmao.” Earlier in the year, Yachty and Ebro had exchanged words over Yachty’s rapping ability.

Funkmaster Flex just wants to move on from his beef with Lil Yachty. The radio host hopped on Facebook early Tuesday morning with a message for the 19-year-old rapper he had previously dissed.

"My brother @lilyachty it's love... let's move on...," Flex began. " #NotoriousBig thing took me to a bad place... I'm sure you would want us to respect who you grew up listening to... just asking u to respect the B.I.G."

The message also directly addressed Funk Flex's claim that Yachty doesn't have bars. "I'm not saying you craft is bad... bars is equal ( not less than your craft ) I wish u more success but just ask u to do a litte homework... I'm guilty myself about saying things about PAC I maybe should have said but I did learn from my experience.... I see u not taking it personal so I won't also... love... we move forward," he wrote.

If you've been keeping your distance from this saga, you should know that Flex interrupted a freestyle to go on a rant about both Bow Wow and Lil Yachty last week. "That's called motherfu*kin' bars, n*gga! You know nothing about that! You know why!? Because you a mumble rapper Bow Wow! A mumble rapper! Lil Yachty, you dont want nothing too!" he yelled on his show. Twitter pretty much lost it because the whole thing was caught on video and it quickly made its rounds across the internet. He also challenged Yachty to a rap battle against Murda Mook.

Yachty clapped back at the criticism with a pretty lax response about enjoying his life and "countin' up my change." He went on to add that "none of this is that serious to me" before flexing about his streaming and sales numbers. "It's easy to write a verse but how easy is it to make a stamp on the culture?"

That's when Flex tried to get the last word in, but Yachty shut it down by asking Flex to stop comparing all rappers. "I'm not Dave East...I'm Yachty...The Grammy-nominated, Sprite-endorsing, Nautica creative director 19-year-old millionaire mumble rapper."
