Last week, YG and Nispsey Hussle released “FDT ( F*ck Donald Trump),” a diss track directed at the Republican presidential candidate. With so much hype surrounding the song, the rappers took to Instagram and announced a video shoot in Los Angeles, however, due to a large crowd forming in the location where the video would be made, the police were called and they quickly shut it down.
YG, who surprised the Coachella crowd with a surprise DJ Mustard appearance, spoke to Complex backstage about the incident.
“We speaking for a lot of people who are not really speaking up or they got nobody in no situation that’s really gonna put it all on the line for they race [and] they culture,” said YG. “We feel a similar way everybody else feels. We just took it on the chest. Like, ‘Look, This is what we about to do. We gonna speak on it.’ F-ck whatever consequences and all of that. We gonna deal with it.”
The “Bompton” rapper explained no arrests were made by the officers, who were simply called there to disperse the large crowd. Billboard, however, reports a “number of citations were given out that ranged from illegally modified exhaust systems to excessive speeding and loitering for the purpose of street racing.”
YG also addressed the reality of Hip Hop and the culture.
“This is what this sh-t is built off of—talking about the culture and what’s going on and putting it out there to make a difference,” he said. “Let motherf-ckers know, we out here.”
