He told them to "be smart" and not to let the internet "make u a meme."

With the rising violence in the Rap community, Yung Bleu is calling for artists to keep their security tight. Most recently, reports stated that Kodak Black was shot at, shots were fired on set at 42 Dugg and Roddy Ricch's music video shoot, and we can't forget the scandal involving King Von's death that allegedly occurred at the hands of Quando Rondo's good friend. Some artists are being mocked for keeping themselves surrounded by security guards, but Yung Bleu offered a bit of advice for his fellow rappers.
