Lil Yachty, a famous American rapper, has been at the center of a public fallout with his long-time friend-turned-producer Mitch. Controversy reached boiling point in an instant over a viral clip from their shared podcast, “A Safe Place,” just hours before it got canceled.

An emotional Instagram Live from Lil Yachty detailed how he feels disheartened and even betrayed by Mitch. Though it is not known what was said in that viral clip, it was something which started the misunderstanding that Yachty felt Mitch did not go through well. This, on top of other built-up tensions, finally broke their business relationship.
Things only got more complicated when Yachty said he had invested a lot into what they were working on together, claiming to have given Mitch $400,000. This clearly outlines the financial nature of their relationship and could be one of the reasons for the fallout.
The fallout has also brought to light personal tension, quite apart from the professional disagreement, which now characterizes the relationship of these two friends. During the Instagram Live session, Yachty was very emotional, clearly showing that he felt hurt and frustrated, possibly indicating that Mitch had let him down both professionally and personally.
Fan reaction to the controversy has been divided, with some coming up behind Yachty’s decision to shut down the podcast, while others are interested in those details about what exactly happened in the viral clip, and thus the falling out which ensued between those two friends. There has been massive media attention to this incident, given the dramatic nature of how publicized the dispute was, along with some extraordinarily coarse language used by Yachty.
