Lil Yachty Reveals He's Quit Lean, Debuts New Haircut

Lil Yachty is someone who has been having a fantastic 2023. Overall, this is thanks to a plethora of dope singles and even an AOTY contender. Let's Start Here was Yachty's foray into the world of psych rock, and it was a great one at that. It is an album that had many praising Yachty for his immense artistry. Moreover, it is a project that gets better with each subsequent listen. Now, however, Yachty is gearing up for Drake's project For All The Dogs . He is likely featured on it, and he knows a lot about the album.

For All The Dogs will be coming out on September 22nd, and fans are very excited about it. There is a new single dropping this week which is going to act as a teaser of sorts. With all of that in mind, it seems as though Yachty is enacting some lifestyle changes right now. Firstly, he took to Instagram with a few snaps of him sporting a new haircut. In fact, it appears as though he is embracing the bald life. Furthermore, he has revealed that he quit Lean, which is a huge accomplishment.

"I did not stop drinkin lean for n****s to bully me and tell me i look like i have leukemia," Lil Yachty wrote. For those who may not know, Lean is one of those drugs that can make you gain a lot of weight, especially in your gut area. However, once you kick the stuff, you are able to lose weight rapidly. Sometimes, this leads to people thinking you are sick, then it is, in fact, the opposite. These comments are most certainly annoying for Yachty, however, he seems content with his life choices.

Musically, we hope to hear a lot more from the man very soon. He has been having an incredible resurgence, and the fans can't help but agree. Only time will tell what his For All The Dogs feature sounds like if there even is one. Let us know your thoughts on Yachty and his haircut, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

Lil Yachty recently revealed he quit drinking lean . On Monday (Sept. 11), Boat took to social media to show off his new look. The rapper appears slimmer in the recent photos, which showed him with a shaved head. “I chopped da top, f**k it,” he captioned the three pictures. “She like my haircut, it turn her on!!!” Although he removed his signature red hair years ago, the Georgia entertainer continuously kept his braids with beads. So, the haircut came as a surprise to his fans — who also commented on his new look.

During his response, the rapper also admitted that he changed his lifestyle and kicked lean . “I did not stop drinkin lean for ni**as to bully me and tell me I look like i have leukemia,” he jokingly shot back at his critics.

Moneybagg Yo recently opened up about his decision to stop drinking lean . In January 2022, the Memphis artist expressed he was quitting the drug and looking forward to a healthier life. 

“I use to think being sober would f**k with my creative process, I see dats just a mind thing cuz I been more active skin glowing and I been dropping nun but pressure,” he typed on Twitter, and included the hashtag “#NomoWockesha.” Wockesha has become popular slang for the addictive cocktail. Lean is famously crafted from prescription cough medicines that contain promethazine or codeine combined with soda and candy, usually a jolly rancher.

Lil Yachty on Weight Loss and Haircut: 'I Did Not Stop Drinkin Lean For N***as to Bully Me and Tell Me I Look Like I Have Leukemia'

Yachty debuted a new look after he lost some weight and potentially cut his trademark braids.

Lil Yachty  is clearly not happy with certain comments he's received regarding his recent transformation.

On Monday, the 26-year-old took to his Twitter account with a post showing off a slimmer physique and new haircut. Yachty has maintained his braids throughout his career, but he appears to have cut them all off.

"She like my haircut, it turn her on!!!" Yachty captioned his tweet. He shared the same photos on Instagram of his new look with a caption that read, "i chopped da top, fukk it."

It seems like Lil Boat didn't get the reaction he wanted, though, as he returned with a new tweet that called out people who had been  "bullying"  him over his new look. According to Yachty, he didn't sacrifice to get this new look just for people to clown him.

"I did not stop drinkin lean for n***as to bully me and tell me i look like i have leukemia," he wrote.

When asked what's under the hat, he simply dropped an emoji indicating he's not sharing—yet.

He also reposted some jokes about his cut on his IG Stories:

Several rappers have joined the anti-lean wave, such as Offset, who kicked the drug earlier this year. In an interview with  Variety , Set explained his family pushed him to stop drinking lean.

"I put down lean. I was drinking my whole career. It opened my mind up, but I never thought it helped me create," he shared. "I feel like getting past that, cleaning up, and putting that message out."

The 31-year-old also praised wife Cardi B for sticking by his side as he went through the process of quitting lean.

"She always got my back, right or wrong," said the former Migos artist. "We both on the same mission to make each other better. We are a great team. We're a powerhouse at this point—icon status. We believe in God. We believe in family. We're going to keep winning."

Other rappers who have quit lean include  Moneybagg Yo , Sada Baby, and 600Breezy.

Lil Yachty said his lean drinking days are behind him, but not everybody is a fan of his healthy new look, leading to bullying comments.

Lil Yachty may have taken the “Wock to Poland,” but his lean drinking days are apparently behind him. 

On Monday (September 11), the “Strike” hitmaker shared an update with his followers on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that he’s ditched the lean. However, not everybody is a fan of his healthy new look. In fact, since ditching the highly addictive substance, he’s been bullied over his appearance.  

“i did not stop drinkin lean for n##### to bully me and tell me i look like i have leukemia,” Lil Boat shared. 

Nonetheless, Lil Yachty still has his admirers. In a new post, he revealed a new haircut to go along with his post-lean look, revealing, “ I chopped da top. ” he shared the images on X writing, “she like my haircut, it turn her on!!!” 

Lil Yachty opened up about his lean addition on his viral 2022 hit “Poland,” The lyrics include him rapping about “fiending” for lean. “Wock” refers to Wockhardt, a pharmaceutical company that produces promethazine and codeine cough syrup.  

Meanwhile, in other Lil Yachty news, the Quality Control signee is set to begin his global tour in support of his latest album, Let’s Start Here .  

The Field Trip Tour kick offs Thursday, September 21 in Washington, DC at Echostage. Yatchy will perform at stops across North America before heading over to Europe, where he will visit cities including London, Oslo and Berlin. The tour concludes on Sunday, December 17 in Vienna, Austria at Gasometer. 

Last month, Lil Yachty and JID finally added two leaked songs to streaming platforms. The pair dropped “Van Gogh” and “Half Doin Dope,” under the group name Blakkboyz after the singles surfaced online. Watch the “Van Gogh” video below.

Lil Yachty Shows Off New Hair Style

Lil Yachty isn't waiting for the new year to show off his new self, taking to Instagram Live on Monday (Dec. 19) to show off a new hair style. As seen in the above video, Yachty has let his signature braids and beads go, his red locks still as colorful as ever.

"See this right here? The James Brown look, you know?," he says. "I’m working on my album. This look means seriousness. This hair do means hits. And to Funkmaster Flex this means a lot of mumble rap." Jay Z was known to miss the barber's seat whenever he was in album mode, Yachty likewise switching his style up.

In November, Yachty said of recording his debut album, “I have so many amazing songs that we never put out. But we’ve been on tour, and I keep trying to record on tour but I keep losing my voice. And it’s just hard for me to record, 100 percent. So once I get off tour on the 18th, we’re really just gonna lock in and just start completely fresh. So there’s no songs: we’re really just gonna make it in three or four weeks.”

As for his Funk Flex remarks, the Hot 97 DJ called Yachty out by name recently during an on-air screed against mumble rappers. Yachty responded via Twitter, writing, “If it ain’t one hot 97 dj it’s another lmao.” Earlier in the year, Yachty and Ebro had exchanged words over Yachty's rapping ability.

Lil Yachty Debuted a New Hairstyle on TikTok and Instantly Became a Hilarious Meme

Updated Aug. 3 2020, 6:38 p.m. ET

Not all TikTok profiles are created equal, and we can probably all agree that Lil Yachty ’s TikTok is definitely on another level than most people’s. If you haven’t seen his incredibly hilarious and (mostly) wholesome content on TikTok, you are definitely missing out.

While most of Lil Yachty’s TikTok videos are great, one specific video has taken the internet by storm. It features him revealing his “ new hairstyle ” and it is, quite frankly, perfect — he has his nails done too! If TikTok really does get banned in the U.S., losing Lil Yachty’s content would truly be the greatest loss.

Lil Yachty showed off a new hairstyle on TikTok — and got his nails done too!

Most of Lil Yachty’s TikToks feature him just kind of living his life in his gigantic house. He’s not afraid to get a little goofy, though, as is evidenced by the video that people can’t stop talking about/making fun of. In it, Lil Yachty shows off the hairstyle shown above.

Images of Lil Yachty’s hairstyle quickly started getting shared all over the internet, with many people making jokes about the rather extreme look. Honestly, a still image really doesn’t do the hairstyle justice. Here’s the video in full (there’s some NSFW language in it, just so you know):

@lilyachty NOT DA BAYANNNNNGG SKISKIBDJWBSJSVSHSJJWJWB ##fyp ##foryoupage ♬ original sound - itsjustnyissa

Incredible. As we said, people quickly took notice of the bumped-end hairstyle and started poking fun — all in good fun, of course! “I thought my auntie made a TikTok I almost choked,” one person commented on TikTok. “I THOUGHT THIS WAS SOMEBODY AUNTY,” said another. 

In an earlier TikTok video, Lil Yachty also shared that he had gotten a manicure and pedicure. He had separate designs for each of his fingers, and on his pedicurist painted the word “TOES” across his toenails. We’re not sure whether Lil Yachty will be starting a new trend, but we love that he went for it.

@lilyachty Thanks Rosie 🥳🥳🥳 ##fyp ##foryoupage ##nails ♬ original sound - lilyachty

After Lil Yachty’s hairstyle became a meme, he took to Twitter to say that he was a little embarrassed that so many people had seen the video. “I ain’t gone lie my TikTok was never supposed to get out now that it’s been found I am embarrassed,” he wrote . But honestly? We’re not really sure what we even did on TikTok before discovering that Lil Yachty has become a master of the TikTok arts. 

It’s not like he needs to become a viral TikTok star in order to enjoy some popularity — obviously, Lil Yachty has already proven himself capable of grand levels of success that most TikTok stars can only dream of. In May, he released his newest album, “Lil Boat 3,” which debuted at No. 14 on the US Billboard 200. It features guest appearances from ASAP Rocky, Tyler, the Creator, Future, Drake, DaBaby, Young Thug, and others.

@lilyachty 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 ##fyp ##foryoupage ♬ original sound - lilyachty

When he’s not making new music, he’s keeping his TikTok followers — more than 3 million of ‘em — entertained with his various antics. Sometimes that means talking about how his washer and dryer are "bullies." Sometimes it means smelling flowers in his yard . In short, he’s the best at TikTok and now we hope the app never ever gets banned.

Lil Yachty Kissed His Signature Dreads Goodbye And Has Completely New Hair Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by WorldStar Hip Hop / WSHH (@worldstar)

Lil Yachty’s never been afraid to rock the boat, bad pun intended. The buzzing rapper’s not waiting on January 1, 2017 to adopt the “new year, new me” mantra as he’s already decided to switch up his signature hairstyle, unveiled on Instagram Live late Monday night.

Gone are his signature beads and braids in exchange for a permed out look he chose to call “the James Brown look.” In the video, Lil Boat indicates he’s working on a new album and the look is just part of getting into the proper mode mentally. “I’m working on my album,” he said while munching on a corndog. “This look means seriousness. This hair do means hits. And to Funkmaster Flex this means a lot of mumble rap.”

The jab at Flex comes after the two spent the latter part of last week going back and forth over social media. Clearly, Funk Flex didn’t get the memo that Yachty’s unbothered by all the critique of his rap skills since he’s now a Grammy-nominated artist and landing big looks from the likes of Nautica , Sprite and Alexander Wang.

Naturally, social media’s response to Yachty’s new ‘do was a mixed bag, ranging from mild confusion to comical. Meanwhile, Yung Joc is somewhere flipping his hair and feeling himself for being a trendsetter at the sight of all this.

Lil Yachty Calls Out ‘Bullies’ After Weight Loss That He Says Is Due To Him Quitting Lean

Lil Yachty  has made some significant changes to his look and aesthetic, but some of his fans don’t support his decision.

On Monday, the “Let’s Start Here” rapper went to his X, formerly known as Twitter, to reveal his new, slimmer look and haircut.

“She like my haircut, it turn her on!!!” Yachty tweeted. He shared the same photos of his new look on his personal Instagram account. The caption read, “i chopped da top, fukk it.”

she like my haircut, it turn her on!!! pic.twitter.com/bWPQHxlvUC — CONCRETE BOY BOAT^ (@lilyachty) September 11, 2023

Unfortunately, many people have chosen to ridicule Yachty instead of showing support for having the courage to undergo such a major transformation.

“Look like my Roblox character,” @cxlame tweeted.

“I just know he did something crazy 😂,” @kaytechofficial shared.

Based on the mixed reception, Yachty felt inclined to reveal the motivation and silence all the haters.

In addition to Yachty, other rappers have decided to refrain from drinking lean. In January 2022, Moneybagg Yo tweeted about his decision to quit lean:

I use to think being sober would fuck wit my creative process, I see dats just a mind thing cuz I been more active skin glowing and I been dropping nun but pressure 🔥 #NomoWockesha 📉 — DA LARGEST (@MoneyBaggYo) January 4, 2022

While Yachty hasn’t fully revealed his new look, seeing how he grows into his new identity will be exciting.

Lil Yachty flaunts new hairdo ahead of 'End of Summer' release, fans say 'he looks like MC Debra'

Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty is going viral on TikTok but it may not be the attention he was expecting. Yachty posted a half-minute clip, which showed him sporting an entirely new hairstyle, freshly cut and styled at the barber, and showing it off for the camera. Judging by his continuous grin and confident head-turns, it appears the rapper is rather pleased with his new look.

Watch the video here . Fans on Twitter are losing their minds over Yachty's new look posting a string of humorous tweets. "He looks like somebody’s auntie" said a fan while another wrote, "So basically they told him they were gonna have to flat iron it so the braid can be cleanest and he said “oh fr? bet....”

I mean if he likes it, why not? — Ariel (@HushedSecretss) August 2, 2020

It is unclear exactly Yachty wants such a different hairdo, but we do know the style is a drastic change from his previous look. Most of his previous hairstyles during his career in the music scene have mostly included variations of braided red hair. Although, the new look may not be so surprising to his hardcore fans as he is known for his edgy and infectiously confident personality and admired for his experimental take on his hairstyles. Yachty's music is about being you and staying positive. As a result of such optimism, he's amassed adoring fans from all around the Internet.

His debut album, 'Teenage Emotions' (which released in 2017) covers a wide range of feelings. As a fervent opponent of what some critics may deem "true" hip-hop, the LP saw the red-haired rapper bringing joviality and lighthearted fun to a genre frequently known for being rough and aggressive. The generous 21-track LP featured a mishmash of values, ideas and life mantras.

Yachty's 2018 followup LP 'Lil Boat 2' took a different turn from his debut album which resulted in mixed reviews. The stray from the initial bubbly side then saw him rapping of his wealth and celebrity status and it didn't pay off. After its release, AllMusic said, "There's an abundance of low-wattage boasts about financial and libidinal surpluses, most of which could have been composed by a generator. Softer and more melodic cuts are indicated with all-lowercase track titles. ... If Yachty can find a way to be his goofy self and elevate his writing, he can rebound."

Similar lukewarm reception from critics also happened with his latest album 'Lil Boat 3'. but RapReviews praised the album, stating, "Lil Boat 3 finds Yachty syncopating and stretching beyond his naturally baritone voice. He sounds more self-aware than ever, channeling his beloved infectious energy as the main driver for the album, rather than his erratic lyrical ability."

Yachty's fifth record 'End of the Summer' is slated for a release sometime this month, so perhaps his new look comes as a simultaneous effort to release something fresh and interesting this year.

Lil Yachty on Weight Loss and Haircut

Written by laserteam on september 13, 2023.

( Complex ) – Lil Yachty  is clearly not happy with certain comments he’s received regarding his recent transformation.

On Monday, the 26-year-old took to his Twitter account with a post showing off a slimmer physique and new haircut. Yachty has maintained his braids throughout his career, but he appears to have cut them all off.  

“She like my haircut, it turn her on!!!” Yachty captioned his tweet. He shared the same photos  on Instagram  of his new look with a caption that read, “i chopped da top, fukk it.”

It seems like Lil Boat didn’t get the reaction he wanted, though, as he returned with a new tweet that called out people who had been  “bullying”  him over his new look. According to Yachty, he didn’t sacrifice to get this new look just for people to clown him. 

“I did not stop drinkin lean for n***as to bully me and tell me i look like i have leukemia,” he wrote.

Several rappers have joined the anti-lean wave, such as Offset, who kicked the drug earlier this year. In an interview with  Variety , Set explained his family pushed him to stop drinking lean. 

“I put down lean. I was drinking my whole career. It opened my mind up, but I never thought it helped me create,” he shared. “I feel like getting past that, cleaning up, and putting that message out.”

The 31-year-old also praised wife Cardi B for sticking by his side as he went through the process of quitting lean.

“She always got my back, right or wrong,” said the former Migos artist. “We both on the same mission to make each other better. We are a great team. We’re a powerhouse at this point—icon status. We believe in God. We believe in family. We’re going to keep winning.”

Other rappers who have quit lean include  Moneybagg Yo , Sada Baby, and 600Breezy.

All Eyez On Memes: Lil Yachty's Fruit Punch Blowout Gets Compared To Chucky, Blanka & More

Lil Yachty can’t catch a break. Even though the QC artist had a strong 2016 between his breakout  Lil Boat mixtape and being featured on D.R.A.M.’s platinum-selling/Grammy-nominated hit single “ Broccoli ,” it’s been open season on the “1 Night” rapper all year, with recent spats flaring up between him and Soulja Boy and then  Funk Master Flex .

The Atlanta native did redeem himself in the eyes of one of his biggest critics though, the  once-stern Ebro , who began to show some respect after  Yachty spoke with him on his Beats1 show  and dropped a freestyle to Craig Mack’s “Flava In Ya Ear” instrumental.

Just when we thought Yachty might stay out of the headlines for the last two weeks of 2016, he pops up again by trading in his crimson-beaded braids for short locks. And yes, social media showed no mercy.

Check out some of the best memes inspired by The Sailing Team captain’s new look.

Still though, the ridicule over his hair isn’t really anything new.

Lil Yachty braids are as unique and individualistic as the rapper himself. Since the day he arrived on the hip-hop scene with songs like “One Night”, “Minnesota”, and “Broccoli”, people have been impressed with his braids.

After achieving mainstream popularity, he has not gone for any style other than braids. Just think about him and you would find that you can’t imagine Lil Yachty without braids.

Even with his braids, he has not experimented too many times. However, there are a couple of braids styles that he has tried out.

Each one of these Lil Yachty hairstyles has been absolute bangers, just like his music. He brings some interesting twists on his braids that make them stand apart from the rest.

In this article, we will break down these amazing styles and talk about them in detail. So, read till the end to learn about the best braids styles of Lil Yachty.

Lil Yachty Red Braids

Red braids with beads, lil yachty black braids, braids with bandana, french braids, braided pigtails, tied beads on the sides, loose top knot, multi-colored beads, frequently asked questions, final words, 9 exciting lil yachty braids styles you should try.

We have picked and compiled 9 of the most stunning braids styles of Lil Yachty for you. Go through this list to find out which style you vibe with the most.

Red braids have been the signature Lil Yachty hairstyle throughout his career. Even before he became a rapper or even had braids, he used to dye his hair red as a young man.

This red color has been a constant companion in his journey. Maybe that’s why for a long period of time we haven’t seen him with any other hair color. However, if I were you, I wouldn’t necessarily dye my hair red and would choose another color that’s more meaningful to me.

As for braiding your hair, you can go for simple box braids. I’d also recommend the two strand twist or three strand twist styles if your hair is still too short for braids.

This one is the Lil Yachty braids style. Without a doubt, this is his most widely recognized hairstyle. It’s probably the one Lil Yachty hairstyle you were aware of even before you started reading this article.

You should dye your hair before you start braiding if you want to keep it colored for a long time. If it’s a short-term commitment, then you can first braid your hair and then use a temporary hair color spray.

Lil Yachty also keeps his braids thin and has a good number of them. So, you have to divide your hair into many sections. When you are done braiding all the sections, you can attach the beads. Lil Yachty usually prefers transparent beads.

The Lil Yachty black braids style surprised a lot of people when he first appeared with it. They were just shocked that he had finally ditched the red color and went with his natural hair color.

He again surprised his fans when he attached diamond beads to his black braids. I am very much aware that it’s not a viable option for most people. You can just attach white beads if you want as that would create a cool contrast.

Lil Yachty also went for thicker braids this time. They were lesser in number as well. So, you won’t have to create that many sections for this one.

Lil Yachty seems to be a huge fan of bandanas. Back when he had red braids and even now, he seems to wear a bandana pretty frequently. It actually makes sense because wearing a bandana is one of the easiest ways of making your braids more striking.

There are two ways he styles his braids with a bandana. One is when he wears it just over his braids. Then, the braids come out from underneath the bandana.

The other style is when he wears it higher and lets a couple of his braids stick out from the top of the bandana. He has tried beads with both of these styles as well.

If you are looking for Lil Yachty without braids, this style is the closest thing you will find. This is unlike any other Lil Yachty braids styles and he pulls it off really well.

To get this style, you only need to have two long braids. First, you have to create a partition straight down the middle. Then, you need two braids at the front. Both braids will start from the partition, go sideways, go halfway around your head and then fall at the back.

I would also keep my front hairline tidy and crisp for this style. The rest of that hair that’s not braided should be slick and close to the scalp.

This is a unique Lil Yachty hairstyle that he has come up with just by tying up his braids in a certain way. I can’t be entirely sure if he intentionally wanted to create a pigtail-inspired style. But, the style certainly looks like that.

You have to create a middle partition for this style as well. Then, you have to take all the braids from one side and tie them up on that side of your head. Do the same for the other side as well.

There will be a couple of loose braids at the front and the back of your head. Also, this style works better with beads because then it has more texture and character.

You have to attach beads to your braids for this style. Beads are necessary to create this distinct look. Also, make sure that there are 4-5 beads for each braid.

You have to create a middle partition to begin. Then, you have to create scalp braids that go sideways. Just like French braids, these braids will go from the partition to the opposite side of your head.

Finally, you have to take all your braids from one side and tie them together, kind of like the pigtail style. But, you have to tie them in a way so that only the beads are dangling from both sides.

This Lil Yachty braids style is really easy to get. Despite being a simple style, it actually is quite impactful and can give you an attractive look.

It is basically a top knot style where you take all of your hair and tie them right at the top of your head. But, you would not tie all your braids for this style.

Few braids need to be free. Lil Yachty styles it in a way that there are loose braids on the sides and the back. If you want, you can let a few of them fall from the front to your forehead.

This is the last Lil Yachty braids style on my list. This one includes beads as well. For this style, it’s better if you have thin braids and there are a lot of them.

The more braids you have, the better you will look. Also, the braids need to be longer. At the end of each braid, you will attach multiple beads and they will be of different colors.

You can just create a middle partition and let these colorful beads hang down from both sides. Feel free to choose any color you want.

We have already mentioned how popular Lil Yachty braids are. So, it’s not a surprise that there are tons of questions that are frequently asked about his braids. We’ll answer a few of them in this section.

How to get Lil Yachty Braids?

Well, you have seen from the list that there are a couple of Lil Yachty braids styles you can choose from. But, most of them include box braids and attaching beads to your braids. Check out this video to have a basic idea of how to braid your hair and attach beads.

Why did Lil Yachty ditch his red braids?

Lil Yachty has stopped dying his braids red, which he was doing for a long time. He said in an interview that dying his hair frequently was actually damaging his hair a lot. That’s why he stopped doing it before his hair got severely and irreparably damaged.

Through this article, I have shown you the best braided hairstyles of Lil Yachty. It is now up to you to decide which styles you want to adopt.

When you have braids, you have to be extra careful about maintenance. You can’t avoid providing the care that your braids need. I have a few suggestions that you can follow.

You must avoid making your braids too tight. If your braids are too tight, that can seriously damage your hair and might even cause permanent hair loss.

You also have to regularly hydrate and moisturize your scalp. Oiling your scalp is also a very positive practice. However, whatever moisturizer or oil you are using, make sure that those suit your hair and scalp.

Finally, sleep on a silk or satin surface. Also, wear a durag while sleeping to keep your braids fresh. Just follow these recommendations and rock your Lil Yachty inspired braids with confidence.
