Lil Yachty<\/a> has been called out over a controversial lyric that references the death of George Floyd.<\/p>\n On a stream with Plaqueboymax, Yachty played an unreleased track from an upcoming project with the song including the line: \u201cPut my knee up on her neck, I went George Floyd.\u201d<\/p>\n The line did not go over well with fans nor NBA legend Stephen Jackson, who grew up with Floyd in Houston.<\/p>\n In a social media video, Jackson tore into Yachty, saying: \u201cLil Yachty, bro. You been wack, my n-gga. But you think you saying George Floyd name, and trying to use his name in a bar, that\u2019s gonna make people like your wack-ass music, my n-gga? That shit weak. Y\u2019all the only era that feel like demeaning the dead and saying that shit is cool, my n-gga. It ain\u2019t.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cDon\u2019t ever say his name, bro. None of ya\u2019ll knew G, nothing about him. But y\u2019all wanna say his name for clout. That\u2019s some weak-ass shit, Yachty. Let somebody die in your family, we gonna do a whole skit about it.
