Lil Yachty does not have JAY-Z on his list of dream features – and that’s because he only just heard some of the legendary rapper’s most classic albums.
The Atlanta native was a guest on the latest episode of the Flagrant podcast published on Wednesday (July 31). When co-host Alexx Media noted that Hov was noticeably missing from Yachty’s dream features list, he made a shocking admission.

“I listened to The Black Album for the first time like three days ago,” he revealed at the . “And then I listened to Reasonable Doubt. Aaaand – I think that the Reasonable Doubt album was better in my opinion. He’s an insane lyricist. I’m not a big fan of like, De La production – that type, that sound.”
He continued: “But I think he’s sick. I think the shit he talks about is like shit most people never actually get to experience in life.”
During the debut episode of his podcast A Safe Place last year, Lil Yachty had a hot take regarding JAY-Z, arguing that DaBaby had a better verse than him on Kanye West’sDonda cut, “Jail.”
“Something I’ve wanted to talk about for a long time,” Yachty began. “The song ‘Jail’ with Kanye West.”

“The one with the greatest rapper ever on it and the one with DaBaby on it,” his co-host MitchGoneMad chimed in.
“In my personal opinion, I think DaBaby had a better verse,” Yachty continued. “I know the conversation of JAY-Z versus DaBaby is insane, but I honestly think his verse was better.
“I feel that’s gonna get me a lot of heat anyway. Maybe not as heated as the whole Biggie situation I dealt with in 2016.”
Mitch went on to say that DaBaby likely could physically knock out Hov, but that he was unsure about Yachty’s personal take. He then reminded Yachty that the Roc Nation boss brought Oprah to the Brooklyn, New York housing projects he grew up in back in 2009.

“Who gives a fuck,” Yachty said with a laugh.
Kanye West released “Jail” originally with JAY-Z when Donda debuted on streaming services in August 2021. A few days later, Ye dropped “Jail Pt 2.” which featured a guest verse from DaBaby, as well as vocals from Marilyn Manson.
