We're barely a week into the release of Lil Yachty's debut studio album, Teenage Emotions. One of the more controversial moments from it is the "cello" line off "Peek-A-Boo," which Yachty blamed on his A&R, because he "listened to that song many times, and he allowed me to say that." Yachty then said he "thought Squidward played the cello," and acknowledged that he fucked up.
During his recent stop at Hot 97 for Ebro in the Morning, Ebro brought up the cello line, and Rosenberg revealed a piece of an off-air conversation that he had with Yachty about the cello line, saying that "people said to him, 'You could just say a cello was a nickname for a dick,'" but Yachty kept it a thousand, admitting to Rosenberg, "No, I actually thought it was a woodwind instrument.'" This specific part begins at the nine-minute mark.
Yachty point blank said, "My A&R told me, I could say it's like a big dick," but he figured it made more sense "to just tell the truth." Although now he admits that "was the wrong idea, the wrong thing to do."
This expanded into a huge conversation about some of the most confusing lyrics in hip-hop, but if you're here for more Yachty-specific talk, make sure you check out Yachty's short list of foods he actually digs (which includes pizza, corn dogs, and sugary soda), as well as talk about what he actually does since he doesn't hit the club or get drunk or high (spoiler alert: he usually just shops, plays video games, and gets cozy with the fairer sex). Yachty also talks about his recent visit on Everyday Struggle and going toe-to-toe with Joe Budden. You can check that out at the 13:14 mark.
