\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe you did not expect Lil Yachty to sit down on Tea Time with Raven & Miranda<\/a> and talk about Eminem, but that\u2019s exactly what happened. <\/p>\n

The Atlanta rapper was a recent guest on the show, sharing stories about fatherhood, fast-food jobs, psychedelics, and the way rappers get judged. Then, almost casually, he dropped a detail that grabbed everyone\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

Yachty admitted that Eminem mentioning him on \u201cKamikaze\u201d was something he still thinks about, and not for the reasons people assume.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe Said My Name? That\u2019s Fire\u201d<\/p>\n

Yachty recalled his reaction the first time he heard \u201cThe Ringer<\/a>\u201d, the opening track from Eminem\u2019s 2018 album:<\/p>\n

\u201cEminem actually dissed me. But I thought it was amazing. You could\u2019ve said anyone\u2019s name, but you said mine. That\u2019s fire\u201d.<\/p>\n

When Raven-Symon\u00e9 asked if Em gave him a full 16, Yachty only shook his head, no. It wasn\u2019t a full verse, just a quick line, but that was enough.<\/p>\n

And in fairness, Yachty is right: a brief mention from Eminem can feel like a career milestone. So, Yachty can still quote this line from memory.<\/p>\n

What Did Eminem Say?<\/p>\n

The line Lil Yachty refers to isn\u2019t even a diss. In fact, Eminem goes out of his way to clarify that he isn\u2019t attacking Yachty:<\/p>\n

\n

I can see why people like Lil Yachty, but not me, though
Not even dissin\u2019, it just ain\u2019t for me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This came during a moment when Eminem was venting his frustrations with 2018\u2019s rap landscape, calling out several mumble rappers by name: Lil Pump, Lil Xan, and others. Yachty\u2019s mention is the gentlest one of the bunch, almost a compliment wrapped in a shrug.<\/p>\n

And for Yachty, that\u2019s more than enough. To him, simply being on Em\u2019s radar is a badge of honour, and he says:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not mad at all. I\u2019ll take it. Any day of the week, I\u2019ll take it\u201d. <\/p>\n

Lil Yachty has carved out his own lane, embracing experimentation, humour, and a genre-breaking approach that often frustrates rap traditionalists. Hearing him talk about Eminem shows another side: a guy who grew up on hip hop and still feels grateful when one of the greats acknowledges his existence.<\/p>\n

Obviously, hip hop generations collide in unexpected ways. And sometimes, the bridge is a single line from a Detroit legend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maybe you did not expect Lil Yachty to sit down on Tea Time with Raven & Miranda and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":200882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[18,2879,117,19,17,110975,337],"class_list":{"0":"post-200881","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-eminem","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-kamikaze","14":"tag-music"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115615126311428387","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
