Lil Yachty is pushing back against rumors linking him to the unreleased Drake and Lil Uzi Vert track, “At The Gates.” The Atlanta rapper recently spoke out to clear his name. Yachty wants fans to know he had no part in the song being held back. He said the real reason for the delay was likely a complicated sample.

Song Sample Issues

According to Lil Yachty, the core issue with “At The Gates” involved a Whitney Houston sample. He suggested that clearing such a sample can be a complex process. Yachty mentioned he has a verse on the track himself. He feels people are misunderstanding his involvement and influencing Drake’s decisions. He explained, “I said something about the record because I have a verse on it.” Yachty added that he doesn’t understand why people think he’s the one influencing Drake.

Addressing Past Rumors

This isn’t the first time fans have speculated about behind-the-scenes drama. The song “At The Gates“ first appeared back in 2021. It quickly became a highly anticipated unreleased track. However, it never got an official release. This led to many theories on social media about why it was being held up.

Yachty also touched on rumors about tension between him and Lil Uzi Vert. He firmly denied any bad blood. Yachty shared a brief anecdote about a past encounter. He said, “He was in the car. I opened his car door, and I was like, ‘My bad.’ He was like, ‘Wrong car.’ And I said, ‘Okay,’ and I closed the door. I ain’t got no problem with him.“ Despite his explanations, some fans still don’t fully believe his account. The future of “At The Gates” remains uncertain
