Lil Yachty calls Black Lives Matter a 'scam' on YouTube show

Rapper Lil Yachty, whose real name is Miles Parks McCollum, labeled the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement a 'scam' during a recent appearance on Quenlin Blackwell's YouTube show 'Feeding Starving Celebrities.' While discussing his charitable contributions, Yachty dismissed inquiries about his donations, claiming, 'BLM is a scam' and referencing the group's controversial real estate purchases. The conversation escalated when Blackwell challenged him on his comments, asserting her commitment to Black issues. Yachty responded skeptically about her dedication, pointing out her staff's demographics. This exchange follows ongoing scrutiny of BLM's financial practices, particularly concerning the past actions of its co-founder, Patrice Cullors. The dialogue has sparked significant online debate and commentary regarding the movement's integrity and impact on social justice.
