Lil Yachty and DC Young Fly caught flak on social media (again) thanks to their starring roles in How High 2, a remake of the cult classic featuring Method Man and Redman. The film premiered on the unofficial national holiday for weed connoisseurs, Saturday (April 20), on MTV at 9 p.m. ET.
The Bruce Leddy-directed picture also features Mike Epps, DeRay Davis, Susan Gallagher, Lil Baby, Blac Youngsta, Justine Skye, Nene Leakes and more.
Shot in Atlanta, the film revolves around two young entrepreneurs who grow a magical marijuana plant they eventually distribute. The supernatural weed gets stolen, and the two go on a mission to get it back.
Fans of the original How High initially met the film with skepticism after the sequel’s trailer revealed the memorable duo wouldn’t be in the remake.

How High 2 was set in motion with Method Man and Redman in 2017, but it was later revealed the partners-in-rhyme wouldn’t actually be in the sequel.
Twitter, of course, set fire to the revamp of the film.

I saw 3 mins of this movie and it was the worst movie with the worst acting I have ever seen. Toilet Tissue has more emotional range than Lil Yachty.
