Overview
- YG told Big Boy’s Neighborhood that he will not make 'FDT Part 2,' a decision he discussed in a July 3 interview that has been reported across outlets.
- He said the original 2016 song drew official attention, including a letter he attributes to the White House and encounters with federal agents such as the Secret Service.
- Promoters and venues have kept the song off some bills by including clauses that bar him from performing 'FDT' or allow withholding payment if he does perform it.
- YG recounted a 2017 college show at San Diego State University where a $60,000 contractual restriction tried to block the song but he performed it and was later paid.
- The choice reflects how the song’s decade-long role as a protest anthem continues to affect YG’s bookings and his stated priority to avoid political and professional conflicts.
