Lil Yachty wasn’t about to let anyone disrespect Juice WRLD’s memory during his tribute at a recent concert in Washington, D.C. The “Minnesota” rapper unleashed a fierce response to a fan who interrupted a moment of silence for Juice WRLD, the late rapper who tragically passed away in 2019.
The incident took place during Lil Yachty’s performance on Tyler, The Creator’s “Chromakopia” tour. As fans were paying their respects to Juice WRLD, a shout from the crowd broke the silence. This was a line Lil Yachty would not tolerate. In the now-viral video, the rapper immediately snapped, shouting, “SHUT THE F*** UP!” to the disruptive fan. The crowd quickly rallied behind Lil Yachty, helping him pinpoint the person who had spoken out of turn.
Once the culprit was identified, Yachty didn’t hold back, leading the crowd in a unified effort to shame the fan. He called for everyone to boo the individual, turning what should have been a moment of reverence into a public display of frustration.
This wasn’t the first time such a situation unfolded during Lil Yachty’s tour. Just a week before, during a performance in Pittsburgh, a similar incident occurred. Fans continued to talk and shout during a tribute to Juice WRLD, prompting another viral moment where the audience ended up booing the disruptors.
Juice WRLD, born Jarad Higgins, passed away at the young age of 21 in December 2019, following an accidental overdose of Oxycodone in Chicago. Despite his untimely death, his legacy continues to live on through his music, and his fanbase remains fiercely protective of his memory.
For Lil Yachty, it’s clear that any disrespect towards Juice WRLD, especially during moments of tribute, will not be tolerated. As a friend and collaborator of the late rapper, Yachty has always been vocal about keeping Juice’s memory alive. Fans can expect more passionate outbursts like this whenever Juice’s name is honored on stage.
While it might be tempting for some fans to disrupt a somber moment, it’s clear that doing so around Lil Yachty — a close friend of Juice WRLD — is a recipe for public humiliation.
