YelaWolf criticized Macklemore's merch that bears a similar deer logo to his.

YelaWolf is not happy with Macklemore. This weekend, both rappers performed at the Osheaga Music Festival in Montreal, Canada. All was well until Yela was approached by a fan for a photo. The rapper obliged the fan, but took interest in the festival-goer's shirt. Catfish Billy, who has been pushing his deer logo for some time now, assumed that the shirt was one of his own, but it turned out to be a Macklemore tee, which also happened to use a deer as its logo.

Yela was not pleased with what he observed as swagger-jacking, and apparently confronted Mack after his performance. The fellow white rapper explained that the deer logo on the shirt was at least 5 or 6 years old, but Yelawolf was not satisfied with the answer, taking to social media later that night to rant about it.

In his rant, the emcee suggests that the deer logo belongs to him, and anyone wearing Mack's shirt is a "poser".

This is not the first time Macklemore has been called out for swagger-jacking.

Read his statement below, and view the two logos in the gallery above.

"In a Sea of about 20,000 plus people this fan walked up to me yesterday and asked me for a photo .. I saw the Buck logo but didn't remember making the shirt ..I took the photo then said let me see that that shirt .. GET THE BUCK OUTTA HERE !!! .. Are you kidding me @maclemore ? I confronted him after his set .. And he said its 5 or 6 years old .. And ask " are we cool ?" He's a fan obviously so whatever .... Look if y'all see this shirt out there call it out .. 4,5,6 years old don't matter .. She was wearing it yesterday .. THATS OUR SHIT BE CLAER ! .. POSERS .. #SLUMERICAN"
