Is Lil Yachty a heartless collaborator who left his former artist stranded, or is Karrahbooo spinning a tale to dodge her obligations?
The explosive feud between these two Atlanta rappers has fans buzzing with questions about a car accident, music release disputes, and who’s really at fault. As accusations fly on social media, both artists have shared their sides, leaving the public to piece together the truth. Let’s dive into the drama, unpacking the claims and counterclaims and what it all means.
Karrahbooo, born Karrah Schuster, dropped a bombshell about a traumatic incident that she says soured her relationship with Lil Yachty. She claims that while heading to Rolling Loud, the car they were in crashed, hitting her side and trapping her inside.
“Right when the car accident happened, everybody jumped out the car, all the boys and both, they jumped out the car, went into the other black car and drove off and left me stuck in the car by myself,”
she said.
“So I had to climb out the [car]. Then I passed out and had to go to the hospital because I had a concussion. Nobody came to see me at the hospital, nobody gave a fuck. So my mom hates him for that.”
This chilling account paints Yachty as callous, abandoning his then-assistant in a moment of crisis.
However, details about this accident are murky. No public records or statements from Yachty directly address this specific incident, though a 2022 crash involving Yachty’s van en route to Rolling Loud Miami did make headlines. Karrahbooo’s involvement in that incident remains unconfirmed, leaving her story as a powerful but unverified claim. Without Yachty’s response to this accusation, a one-sided narrative fuels the feud’s intensity.
The drama doesn’t stop there. Karrahbooo accuses Yachty of blocking her from releasing new music, claiming she’s trapped in a contract with his label, Concrete Rekordz, even after leaving his Concrete Boys collective in 2024.
“We are now on month 11 of Lil Yachty keeping me in a deal just to be petty and keep me from releasing music and moving on with my life,”
she stated on X, also calling him “toxic” and “abusive.” She added,
“All you literally have to do is sign the paper u gone make more money than i owe u off release me,”
suggesting Yachty’s refusal to let her go is personal.
Lil Yachty fired back, denying he’s holding her music hostage. In an Instagram Live, he said,
“You can drop music whenever you want to. Whenever you want to, you can drop your music. That’s not the case, right? Because I never had a problem, right? I didn’t have a problem with her.”
He insists the issue is business, not personal, pointing to unresolved debts.
“Before I sign that paperwork, I want my jewelry back, right? My fucking earrings, eight carat earrings, my watch, everything else. And you can go, right?”
Yachty also claimed Karrahbooo owes his label $900,000, arguing that no one would sign her until these issues are settled. He emphasized,
“The truth is that you don’t have music and that’s why you’re not putting out music. It’s not that I’m holding you from dropping your music.”
Karrahbooo started as Yachty’s assistant in 2022, inspired by his career to pursue rapping. By 2023, she was a rising star in Concrete Boys, dropping singles like “Money Counter” and collaborating on tracks like “Mo Jams.” But by July 2024, their bond unraveled. Yachty confirmed her exit, saying,
“We have split ways with Karrah as far as this Concrete shit. I have nothing bad to say, nothing negative to say about Karrah. I wish her the best in her career.”
Yet, Karrahbooo accused him of bullying, while Yachty countered that she was disrespectful, allegedly insulting his security guard and threatening to spit on him.
The feud escalated with personal jabs. Karrahbooo claimed Yachty wrote her verses, which she denied, saying,
“Who ain’t write it?”
Yachty, frustrated by her accusations, said,
“She’s painting a narrative that like, oh, he won’t let me drop. He hates me. Bro, I’m the one who reached out to her to come back. Because I was like, this is stupid.”
This back-and-forth reveals a once-promising partnership now mired in mistrust.
So, who’s telling the truth? The car accident story is compelling but lacks corroboration, making it hard to confirm without Yachty’s side or additional evidence. The music dispute is clearer: Karrahbooo’s claims of being blocked clash with Yachty’s insistence that she can release music if she settles her debts. His detailed explanation about the jewelry and $900,000 debt suggests a business conflict, not pettiness, though Karrahbooo’s frustration points to a possible breakdown in communication.
Based on their statements, Yachty’s account seems more grounded in specifics, like financial obligations and contractual realities, while Karrahbooo’s leans on emotional appeals and unverified incidents. This doesn’t fully absolve Yachty—he may not have handled the situation with the transparency or empathy Karrahbooo needed—but Karrahbooo’s failure to provide proof of blocked releases weakens her case. Ultimately, the truth likely lies in a messy middle: a business dispute amplified by personal grudges, with both parties sharing some blame.
