George Floyd’s Brother and Stephen Jackson Demand Lil Yachty Change Disrespectful Lyric

Family members and friends say the lyric defiles Floyd’s memory after Yachty previewed it on a livestream without offering an apology

Overview

  • Lil Yachty previewed an unreleased track on PlaqueBoyMax’s livestream that includes the line “Put my knee up on her neck, I went George Floyd” to describe a sexual act.
  • Stephen Jackson publicly condemned the use of Floyd’s name as “weak-ass shit” and accused Yachty of exploiting the tragedy for clout.
  • Terrence Floyd called the bar inconsiderate, urged that it be removed from Yachty’s upcoming It’s Us Vol. 2 project, and said it disturbs the family’s peace.
  • Yachty has reshared confirmation that the track will appear on his Concrete Boys album but has not addressed the backlash or issued an apology.
  • The incident highlights tensions between artistic freedom and the need for sensitivity when referencing real-life victims of violence.
