Fans are upset with Lil Yachty's response to Sexyy Red opening up on his podcast.

Sexyy Red revealed during an appearance on Lil Yachty and MitchGoneMad's A Safe Place Podcast that she's been a victim of rape, but Yachty's response has fans on social media upset. After Red brought up the incident, the two podcast hosts appeared unsure of how to handle the conversation.

When asked for the "cr*ziest" thing she's ever been through, Sexyy Red responded: "I got raped before. That's the cr*ziest thing that ever happened to me." Yachty and MitchGoneMad both pause and then ask for a different story, to which Sexyy answers with a "shoot out." Both of the hosts then start laughing, before later apologizing. The way they handled the situation didn't sit well with some fans on social media.
