Lil Yachty reveals that he told Drake about the line before "Nuthin' 2 Prove" dropped.

Lil Yachty is fresh off the release of his second project of the year, Nuthin 2 Prove. The rapper's latest project served as an official follow-up to Lil Boat 2 which he released earlier this year. The rapper collaborated with Juice WRLD on the song, "Yacht Club" where the Chicago rapper took a slight jab at Drake's baby mama drama. While many may have thought that Drake took issue with the line, especially since it had something to do with his seed, the Canadian rapper seemed to find it amusing as the rest of us.

On Lil Yachty's "Yacht Club," he and Juice WRLD swap bars back and forth. At one point, Yachty raps, "I'm a young king, I might fuck Alexis Texas" and Juice responds, "But I ain't on no Drake shit, I won't get her pregnant." Yachty told Billboard about his initial reaction to the line before revealing that he told Drake about the bar ahead of time.

"At the time, we were in the booth together actually. He said it and I was like, 'Wow, okay,'" he said. "I talked to Drake about it and he said it was all good. He felt there was really no harm. I told Drake before, because I fuck with Drake. Then it came out and he laughed at it. "

Yachty also revealed that his joint project with Juice WRLD might come out in December. However, there's a chance that he might drop his joint project with Trippie Redd instead.

"I'm going to drop a collab tape in December. I got one done with Juice WRLD, and me and Trippie Redd got one. Both tapes are done," he revealed.

Keep your eyes peeled for new music from Lil Yachty.
