It's been a huge year for Lil Yachty. The red-beaded rapper has been everywhere and back by the ripe age of 19, securing himself the "King of the Youth" title Ian Connor has been forced to leave behind. Unfortunately, not everyone has been happy with the sudden rise of Lil Boat. Rappers (Soulja Boy, Ab-Soul) have made dissing Yachty a habit this past year, and even some non-rappers have followed suit (sorry Shia).
Flip through the gallery to take a look at all the people who have been taking shots at the world's most nautical rapper this past year. We don't see them sinking the boat anytime soon.

"Another high school ass rapper is offended ... He sounds like they [the kids] love him too, rapping about nothing."
Anderson .Paak
"Don't be cocky in the fact that you don't know anything about hip hop history. Real artists are students of the game first."
Pete Rock

Ab-Soul
"All these new 'lil' niggaz is weak as the time it took to create earth..."
"[In response to question about whether he follows Lil Yachty, Uzi Vert, and Kodak Black] I swear to God I didn’t know you were saying people’s names just now, so that should probably answer that question. I just do my own thing."
Lord Jamar
"I call him Lil Yack-ty ... his music make me wanna yack."
Soulja Boy
"I will slap the shit out of you, n*gga! Fuck Lil Boat!"
"I hate these rappers / Especially the amateur eight week rappers / Lil' whatever, just another short bus rapper / Fake drug dealers turn tour bus trappers."
Shia LaBeouf
"I've heard enough from Miles Parker McCollum, Mc-kill-em / I'm miles above him / I got him I get him / This young man's a victim my wisdom / I'm Mitchum with rhythm / This is cowboy shit he's gonna bow out quick / He's a cow tow trick / Him and Soulja [Boy] on that shout out shit / This is not, this a murder, this is tragic mane / he's like Lil' Romeo meets Raggedy Ann..."
