Lil Yachty Reveals He's Quit Lean, Debuts New Haircut
Lil Yachty is feeling like a whole new man.
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 .

"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.

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’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. âIâm 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.â
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.

Black And Red Braid Hair Combination With Beads
Obviously, a red and black color combination is always an attractive one. Here each of the medium-length braids hairs has been separated by two spectacular colors. Half portion of braids is black and a half portion is red in color. Moreover, white pearl attachment has made it more eye-catchy.   Â

Simple ways of getting Lil Yachty Braids StylesÂ
If you have medium-length strong curly hairs, then follow these simple procedures of getting Lil Yachty Braids styles on your naturally curly hair. Remember your hair condition before applying any style.Â
- Step 1: You need to wash your natural hair with normal water. Make sure your scalp doesnât contain any dust or sweat at all.Â
- Step 2: Then dry up your hair from up to bottom. To complete this process in a short time, you can use any hair drying tools.Â
- Step 3: Use some natural hair oil before applying it to gel directly on your hair. Because some screens do have allergenic problems on the gel using. After that, use a softer natural gel to make your hair soft and straight.Â
- Step 4: Now start parting your hair. Start from the middle part of your hair. Which will divide the hair into two parts. That way you will get the central fade line.
- Step 5: Make rolls with every different section of your hair. Fill up all the gaps with separated hair rolls. Then you can make a square shape or rectangular shape braids on your scalp.  Â
- Step 6: At the last part add some beads on every section of bread hairs. Just choose your favorite color beads. After beads attachment, you will get the complete Lil Yachty braids style. Â
Hair Expert SuggestionsÂ
If you have strong curly medium-length hair, then apply this style. Before applying this style you must consult with a hair expert to know the condition of your hair and scalp. Because this style is not suitable for all types of hair and scalp.Â
Disclaimer Â
Donât make any tight braids. That can lead you to a braid bumps problem.Â
I’ve spent countless hours researching, experimenting, and learning about the intricacies of natural hair care. I aim to share this knowledge with you, helping you navigate the challenges and triumphs of your natural hair journey.

Lil Yachty Debuted a New Hairstyle on TikTok and Instantly Became a Hilarious Meme
Aug. 3 2020, Updated 6:38 p.m. ET
Not all TikTok profiles are created equal, and we can probably all agree that Lil Yachty âs TikTok is definitely on another level than most peopleâs. If you havenât seen his incredibly hilarious and (mostly) wholesome content on TikTok, you are definitely missing out.
While most of Lil Yachtyâs TikTok videos are great, one specific video has taken the internet by storm. It features him revealing his â new hairstyle â and it is, quite frankly, perfect â he has his nails done too! If TikTok really does get banned in the U.S., losing Lil Yachtyâs content would truly be the greatest loss.
Lil Yachty showed off a new hairstyle on TikTok â and got his nails done too!
Most of Lil Yachtyâs TikToks feature him just kind of living his life in his gigantic house. Heâs not afraid to get a little goofy, though, as is evidenced by the video that people canât stop talking about/making fun of. In it, Lil Yachty shows off the hairstyle shown above.
Images of Lil Yachtyâs hairstyle quickly started getting shared all over the internet, with many people making jokes about the rather extreme look. Honestly, a still image really doesnât do the hairstyle justice. Hereâs the video in full (thereâs 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 â all in good fun, of course! âI thought my auntie made a TikTok I almost choked,â one person commented on TikTok. âI THOUGHT THIS WAS SOMEBODY AUNTY,â 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 âTOESâ across his toenails. Weâre not sure whether Lil Yachty will be starting a new trend, but we love that he went for it.
@lilyachty Thanks Rosie đ„łđ„łđ„ł ##fyp ##foryoupage ##nails ⏠original sound - lilyachty
After Lil Yachtyâs hairstyle became a meme, he took to Twitter to say that he was a little embarrassed that so many people had seen the video. âI ainât gone lie my TikTok was never supposed to get out now that itâs been found I am embarrassed,â he wrote . But honestly? Weâre not really sure what we even did on TikTok before discovering that Lil Yachty has become a master of the TikTok arts.
Itâs not like he needs to become a viral TikTok star in order to enjoy some popularity â 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, âLil Boat 3,â 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.

When heâs not making new music, heâs keeping his TikTok followers â more than 3 million of âem â 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, heâs the best at TikTok and now we hope the app never ever gets banned.

âI hate being alone. Thatâs why I like being with my friends: weâve got energy, weâre social as hell. Iâm not 30 or anything â Iâm 19.â
It was early June when Lil Yachty said this to my face, the two of us finally finding solitude in his Midtown Manhattan hotel room, moments after he took a FaceTime about an $80,000 watch and just two months since I turned 30. I alerted him to my age, and we both laughed at this mildly awkward moment.
When he said he hated being alone, he wasnât lying. I had trailed him for the past four days in Los Angeles â in cars, hotels, radio stations, restaurants, recording studios, television studios, and retail stores â always in the company of others. Though I was never able to get him alone during this West Coast stretch, I did leave L.A. understanding his likes and dislikes. If I were ever charged with outfitting his green room, Iâd know not to get weed and liquor but Dominoâs, soda, and Fruit by the Foot.
Iâd seen him be exceedingly polite to his elders, laugh at offensive jokes, talk about girls with the moxy of a kid that just made Varsity, handle business in a manner well beyond his years, and yell at his father over the phone, repeating the phrases âIâm not a childâ and âYouâre treating me like Iâm 12,â the argument lasting for so long that the Beats 1 staff was in a literal standstill, wondering if heâd ever hang up the phone and talk to Zane Lowe.
That uninhibited earnestness, blissful ignorance, and ever-connectedness to the grid makes sense for someone who named his debut album Teenage Emotion , then just a few days from being released. Itâs an exhausting, almost campaign-like undertaking â to be the teen. But heâs also almost done. In August, his tour of duty concludes. Lil Yachty turns 20.

Achieving fame for your movement as much as for your music is, to many, suspicious. Red flags are often raised when the public canât figure out what theyâre being sold, if this new, different thing is real or a joke, if an artist cares about their craft or is trolling for stardom simply because they can. Years ago, when Donald Glover â then just a successful comedian â introduced the world to Childish Gambino , a die-hard fanbase emerged, as did an equally large contingent of haters and skeptics. Some people just didnât like the music, from his voice to his subject matter, but most of the distrust was due to the assumption that this was nothing more than a vanity project. And when that happens in hip-hop, a notoriously proud universe, itâs often frowned upon.
In the past year, Lil Yachty has been an easy target for those who simply canât figure him out. While speaking to Zane Lowe, he went on about the music he likes and his inspirations, a list that, seen through a cynical lens, may be random for the sake of being random and, through another, completely understandable. In a matter of minutes, he brought up Nelly and Tim McGrawâs âOver and Over Again,â Baby Bash, âCan You Stand the Rainâ by New Edition, Slipknot, Gambino, and Fall Out Boy. When he got to Kid Cudi, he slowed down. Phrases he used to describe his love for Cudi included ârelatable for emotional people,â âpioneer,â âdream journeys,â âdope sense of style,â âguardian angel,â and âtour guide.â These are the influences of a rapper who infamously said he couldnât name five songs by Biggie or Tupac, then doubled down by calling Biggie âoverrated.â
Both Funkmaster Flex and Joe Budden â hip hopâs current Statler and Waldorf â have taken issue with Yachtyâs way of approaching life, Flex referring to him as a âmumble rapperâ and Budden calling shenanigans on Yachtyâs incessant positivity. For Budden, a man currently having a career resurgence purely off the strength of being a curmudgeon, Yachty was the perfect target. Unfortunately, itâs hard to win a shouting match against someone who wonât shout back. When Budden brought Yachty on his Everyday Struggle web show and said, âYou canât tell me you wake up every day happy 24/7, because to say that you are lying,â Yachty responded with a soft seriousness: âWhen you come from living in a dorm room with no clothes, no girls, no cars, and then you go to having three cars, girls, and money, you canât help but be genuinely happy that things are moving in a positive direction.â As for his response to Funk Flex, a man almost 30 years his senior, Yachty said on Instagram: âIâm just enjoying life countinâ up my change. None of this is that serious to me. Take a chill pill my guy.â
Itâs a masterful, near-political dismantling of the old heads, just another thing that makes Yachty a heroic figure to many of his teenage peers and a thorn in the side of many of his rap elders. He is his own spin room, polling phenomenally in his district, even while outside detractors continue to get louder.
Still, inquiries into whether or not itâs all a schtick arenât without warrant. And the more you keep digging, with the young rapper constantly providing reasons for you to question the seriousness of his professional existence, the more youâre forced to realize that the teens have changed the rules, and the easiest way to get left behind is to get hung up on reality.
Atlanta, Georgia, hosted the Summer Olympics in 1996. A year later, Lil Yachty was born Miles McCollum in Mableton, a northside suburb. He grew up mainly with his mother, but he remembers his father, a prominent hip-hop photographer, playing J Dilla in the house, and fondly calls back the first tape he ever owned: Kris Kross. Yachtyâs upbringing was polar, some moments highly relatable, others not even close. While at Pebblebrook High School, his mother made him cut his hair â then long black braids â so he could get a job at McDonaldâs. After his tenure of mopping floors began, however, everyone around him started to colorfully style their hair. The result: the Yachty that visually stands out from the pack, his signature mop of red braids now famously adorned with beads that chandelier on his face. At the start of the summer of 2015, he moved himself to New York City, doing what so many others do â trying to get noticed. By August, he was back down South, arrested for credit card fraud.
The arrest proved to be a hurdle, but in no way a roadblock. His ability to make connections proved to be his truest early skill. By February of 2016, his public existence of a few songs, a look, and an Instagram account made it to Kanye West, who put him in his Yeezy Season 3 fashion show. In March, he put out his debut mixtape, Lil Boat, which included the breakthrough hit âMinnesota.â In April, he contributed the catchy opening verse to the D.R.A.M. song âBroccoli,â a radio mainstay. In May, he released the video for â1 NIGHT,â which is like rolling Tumblr, MGMT, Lisa Frank, and Montauk into four minutes of film. That same month, he appeared on Chance The Rapperâs critically adored Coloring Book . Like that, Yachty had arrived â a snowball effect of success.
In June, he did his first interview on New York Cityâs famed Hot 97, in which many of his ongoing conversation tropes appear: explaining the youth, discussing fans online, debating old vs. new rap, and talking about how much money heâs made in a relatively short amount of time. âYachtyâs always gotten it,â Hot 97 personality Peter Rosenberg told me. âWe had to have the old heads conversation, but we liked him personally. Heâs wise beyond his years for sure.â
As 2016 trucked along, he made the XXL Freshman list and signed with Quality Control Records, the home of then-rapidly rising trio Migos . By October, Yachty was in a Sprite commercial with LeBron James. Once caught scamming, he was now in a very real position to not only pay for things, but to provide. Yachty, truly a mamaâs boy, routinely acknowledges how he âover-spoilsâ his mother. But itâs clear how much he loves her, and the feeling is mutual. When I was sitting with one of Yachtyâs publicists during a photoshoot in New York, she showed me a text from âMama Boat.â It was a lengthy Flipagram slideshow she made of photos of her son as a child: class pictures, mother-and-son shots, the requisite naked baby photos. It went on for so long I thought Iâd blinked and it was actually on a loop. But no. It was still going. Because moms.
Talking about the cuteness of little Lil Yachty was a far cry from how we began. Iâd met him for the first time a week earlier, on a Tuesday morning at Los Angelesâs Power 106 radio station, before he was slated to be a guest on The Cruz Show . Within seconds, I was already confused. I extended my hand for a shake and Yachty, his assistant, Nick, and his security, Twan, all opted for the pound. As I followed them into the green room, the three passed around hand sanitizer. None of them had even looked me in the eyes. The first thing I wrote down: âbrats.â
The exception was Yachtyâs manager, Kevin âCoach Kâ Lee. Seeing Coach, I lost interest in Yachty. Atlanta is a big city, but damn near microscopic when you have two black people of a certain age both intertwined with the cityâs music landscape. Within minutes, our name game had gotten lengthy, and in the green room both Coach and I FaceTimed a mutual friend, DJ Speakerfoxxx. As Coach ended the call, I looked up â Yachty had a different expression for me. Knowing Coach had garnered me a brief smile.
Wiping it quickly away, he found a marker and began writing on a nearby dry-erase board. As a guy from the station came to alert him that it was time to begin, Yachty left a message, seemingly to no one in the room.
âShout out 2 the vegans.â
I hung back for a second and stared at the board. Yes, this was weird. It felt like I was being baited by a manufactured faux-savant. But it also felt oddly familiar.
Finally entering the studio, Yachty sat in a chair, surrounded by a bounty of candy. Questioned about his food choices, he responded, âI donât eat fruit.â Who was this kid?
The interview was a buildup for the showâs now-viral, entertaining gimmick: having rappers read the childrenâs book Llama Llama Red Pajama over a popular beat while throwing in their own ad-libs. Before this happened, however, the hosts told Yachty that there was someone on the phone that wanted to congratulate him on his album. It was Lil B .
âHeâs my inspiration,â Yachty said, stunned. âIf it wasnât for him I probably wouldnât be here.â I thought back to the note he left on the dry erase board.
In 2011, the height of the cult of Lil B, I saw his first show in New York at Hammerstein Ballroom. At one point, after the room full of teens were done throwing their shirts, chef hats, jewelry, shoes, and even a cell phone onstage as offerings to Lil B, he knighted a kid, said âI knighted him,â and declared, âShout out to all my dudes that got hair on they chest. Shout out to all my dudes that got hair on they butts.â
At the time, the rap world was wildly divided on Lil B: was he a shame or a shaman? Six years ago, I was firmly convinced of the latter, often laughed out of conversations with rap purists for expressing a genuine appreciation for the liberating music and movement of Lil B. And now here I was, an older skeptic of a rapper who came up on Lil B, has a framed picture of Lil B in his Atlanta home, and, while more commercially popular, is essentially Charmeleon to Lil Bâs Charmander.
Yachty acknowledged the connection on the show, saying that he admired the way Lil B connected to his fans, made his fans feel as if they knew him and that he cared. But even musically, thereâs some connective tissue â lyrical moments of brilliance surrounded by stretches of âWhat is he talking about?â and âIs he a good rapper?â
Yachtyâs process of making music, however, has been lauded by those who have worked with him. Atlanta producer Su$h! Ceej spent time toward the end of 2016 with him, and described studio sessions as âno pressure, all fun, all naturalâ: âHe knows what beats he wants and is very specific with the sound heâs trying to create, freestyling everything at first and fine-tuning as he goes, making a lot of songs in a short amount of time depending on how many pizza breaks or what video games are in the other room.â As for Clevelandâs TrapMoneyBenny , who produced Teenage Emotions âs final track, âMomma (Outro)â : âHeâs one of my favorite people to work with.â
The combination of lyrical question marks, cosigns, and an intense connection to fans are the hereditary traits between The Based God and Lil Boat, resulting in rappers who are both atypical and vulnerable. And for anyone who has a rigid idea of how a rapper should act, itâs uncomfortable.
This connection to his fans trumping all was on full display back at the Beats 1 offices. Yachty sat in a chair, smiling from ear to ear, surrounded by producers and cameras, preparing to FaceTime fans for a segment. Heâd just launched into yet another Fruit Roll Up as they waited for a guy named Lars from Norway to answer the phone. Lars never answered. âI get it, my family would murder me if I was talking on the phone at that hour,â Yachty said. âBut no lie, if I was Lars, I would have taken that beating.â
The second person picked up. âIt is I,â Yachty said. A guy wanted advice about how to find a girl he met in a moshpit at his concert. Instead of giving him a short answer, Yachty earnestly went through the most logical ways to track her down. âGo through the hashtags,â he said. âOr maybe sheâll hear this? You never know.â It was clear this was his happy place: talking to fans. The next caller was a woman. As soon as Yachty popped up, she began to cry. âOhhhh, donât cry,â he said, his face playfully scrunching up.
A third caller mentioned that she wished her boyfriend were there, because heâs a huge fan. Yachty suggested that they get his number. The girl was shocked, as was everyone in the room. They got the boyfriendâs number and called him. He freaked out. âWeird, Iâve never called another girlâs boyfriend,â Yachty said in a deadpan.
The entire room, once doing a great job holding back laughter, could no longer contain silence. It was like watching a 19-year-old black, male Delilah, from the calming voice, mild demeanor, extreme comfort as he talked to strangers, and genuine care about people that like him. âThat definitely wasnât the first time Iâve FaceTimed with fans,â Yachty said afterward. âIt was just the first time it was recorded. I used to do that shit just for the fun of it.â
Heâs not always so positive, though. Just 30 minutes earlier, he was forced to experience the full onslaught of the content machine. Two men talked to him about Musical.ly, a video social network app, while he wore a crown and giant star shades. He wore an unchecked pout on his face. In this moment, I was watching the self-proclaimed champion of youth age out of something.
âSome of that shit is so lame,â he later told me. âI push this âking of the teensâ shit, but they be thinking teens like 13. On some super corny, under-underage shit. It happens all the time.â
With each passing day, I became more interested in sitting down privately with him, finding out what he was like once all the distractions disappeared. Yet as we spent more time together, that sit-down also started to feel less essential. Not only was I getting the real him, all the time, but the distractions were never going to disappear.
At first, it was slightly off-putting to watch him seem uninterested in the beginning of interviews and side conversations. Yachty doesnât necessarily love being on all the time, and his days in a press cycle often involve a great deal of stasis followed by the immediate ask to be Lil Yachty The Rap Star. But the more I saw, his changing moods yet constant effort became increasingly relatable and human â heâd set himself up to be a machine, within the machine.
Maybe Yachty will become a marionette like so many other celebrities, a rapper that promotes more brands than has songs. So far, heâs done a Target ad with the pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen and has a partnership with Nautica , in addition to Sprite. Or perhaps heâll gravitate in another direction and just be subversive for the sake of drama, another thing he has experience in, from tweeting âfuck J. Coleâ to a past beef with Soulja Boy over a fashion model.
Listening to his album Teenage Emotions , itâs an identity crisis. Itâs what you expect from someone being pulled in 10 directions at once, caught between youth and adulthood. On âX Men,â arguably the albumâs gulliest moment, he still finds a way to do it with a slight wink, ending a verse with, âAll of you niggas is marks/ You stinky and dirty like farts.â Itâs as if heâs trying to find the right way to rebel, this album showing the various lanes that he might pick: hard and tough, sweet and romantic, young and goofy.
Right now, though, heâs opting out of a singular path, primarily choosing calm and collected. I pushed him on talking about Lil Uzi Vert , for example, with whom a rivalry had been suggested in an earlier radio interview, his answer prompting a clickbait-drenched blog post suggesting there was beef. That bothered Yachty. âMe and Uzi arenât friends,â Yachty calmly offered. âWe used to be cool. Itâs not beef, itâs just competition. Thatâs all it is. Weâre not friends.â He says whatâs on his mind, and heâs quite personable, eventually. Just sometimes it takes a bit for him to recharge the battery.
The morning after Yachtyâs full day of radio, he turned his attention to doing television. And on set in the CBS Studio Center lot, the room just let out a collective gasp. Did Martha Stewart realize what she just said to Lil Yachty, out loud, in front of an entire studio audience? Yachty had just come on stage as a guest on the weed-and-euphemism-filled circus that is Martha and Snoopâs Potluck Dinner Party , a VH1 show that often makes SNLâs âWhatâs Up With That?â sketch look like Catholic mass.
It was clear the only prep Martha received about him was that he didnât drink or smoke, so she talked to him like an innocent child. When it was time to discuss the Teenage Emotions album cover â an artistic exercise in inclusion â the image was not available. The network hadnât gotten the image cleared. Taping stopped and the Doggfather stood up, chastising the powers that be for never getting stuff cleared. In a very loud, swear-filled finger wag, Snoop appropriately referred to Yachtyâs album cover as âthis niggaâs shit.â So Martha, sitting at a table with her co-host, Yachty, comedian Gary Owen, and actress Laverne Cox, leaned over â while wearing a sari for their Indian food-themed episode â and, both maternally and ignorantly, said, âYachty, does it upset you when Snoop says ânigga shit?ââ
The room filled with every imaginable reaction: anger, horror, embarrassment, laughter, joy, pain. Throughout the exchange, Martha Stewart did not seem to understand what the big deal was. Yachtyâs reaction: a huge smile. It had been a long morning of sitting and waiting, following a day of interviews that involved a great deal of sitting and waiting. Once he finally made it on stage, he was charismatic, but seemed to be running on fumes. When Martha had her record scratch moment, though, Yachty came alive. By the end of the showâs taping, he was playfully running around the stage with Snoop, avoiding a crew of belly dancers that had just brought out a giant yellow snake, in this, a wildly appropriative episode of television.
The taping of the show lasted so long, Yachty missed his next engagement, a meeting at the Grammy offices to become a member. That meant the following stop was Urban Outfitters, to sign posters of his album cover. Pulling up to the Hollywood locale, however, we were early, a fact that puzzled Yachty almost to the point of embarrassment: âWait, so yâall got me, the rapper, here first?â
It was true â it looked as if no one had come to see him. Twan, his security, countered with, âNo, thereâs a long line.â Everyone in the car thought this was just him being a supportive friend. But when the van circled the block, a long line snaked through a side alley, causing Yachtyâs crew to erupt in laughter. Seconds later, a car drove by playing âBroccoli.â
âOoh, thatâs me,â he said, finishing a pack of M&Ms. Yachty was alive, yet again.
In our time together, the black Sprinter van we travelled in became something of a second home, powerless against the lull of Los Angeles traffic. The swings in his personality were on full display during these rides. Sometimes he was dead quiet, other times chatting on his phone, once or twice making fun of his boys for literally anything. It also was a time for him and Coach to catch up on news, like the moment Coach found out they were being sued over the song âPeek A Booâ by a rapper who made a song titled âPikachu.â
Coach played âPikachuâ for the van and we all laughed. Yachty seemed a bit nervous, not knowing if this was real or not, but Coach reassured him that it was nothing. The brief back-and-forth was representative of their relationship, less of the typical manager-artist vibe and more super smart kid and wise camp counselor.
âIt makes things pretty one-sided sometimes,â Yachty said of Coach. âLike, technically the manager works for the artist. What the artist says goes. But I know Coach always has the best intentions, so sometimes he just tells me what to do. And I donât really have any say. I mean, I have a say so, but for the most part I donât really care to say anything.â
The following day was Yachtyâs final media jaunt before the release of Teenage Emotions . The excitement began at Melâs Drive-In, a retro diner in Hollywood. The old-school feel of the restaurant echoed the attire Yachty would be wearing during his performance: a baby blue prom blazer, white tuxedo pants, and a white ruffled shirt a la Randy Watson from Coming To America . The restaurant overflowed with people having meals with their families, plus a scattering of teenagers who knew Yachty was en route. When he walked in, his red beads and camouflage jacket both matching and contrasting, the place became a zoo. Yachty stood on a table in a side patio amid screams of âFuck Joe Buddenâ and kids offering him things they brought, from cash to their own shoes.
Yachtyâs Lil B moment had come full circle. Attempting to give a speech, his words were drowned out by the throng of screaming fans. Finally, they got quiet and Yachty simply said, âFollow me.â
There were enough fans to fill Hollywood Boulevard, but we walked up the sidewalk. From a distance, it looked as if a young Venus Williams was leading an army with the tactical knowledge of Douglas MacArthur, and the masses were ever-growing. At one point, two teenage girls saw the Million Teen March, ditched their Uber ride, and ran across a busy intersection to join in.
Yachty brought his faithful to the entrance of the Hollywood Masonic Temple, home of the Jimmy Kimmel Show , then disappeared into the building. The mob scene was over, for now. The next few hours involved a soundcheck with the band at the outdoor stage and prep in the green room before the show. Yachty was back to more sitting and waiting, which didnât bode well for his biggest television performance to date.
But just as his energy began to dip, the one missing piece of the puzzle exploded into his room, as if to make everything right: the Sailing Team .
Yachtyâs crew from home had flown in from Atlanta, flooding the green room with bodies, dreads, and hugs just as Yachty prepared to hit the Kimmel outdoor stage. It suddenly felt like a party, and the smile on Yachtyâs face was a smile Iâd never seen, a smile Iâd been waiting on. A pizza the size of an ottoman appeared. It wasnât Dominoâs or Papa Johnâs, but it was large enough to feed all his boys, so it was perfect. Yachty had all he needed: pizza, candy, and his best friends.
Hours later, after his Kimmel performance, the venue was a hotel ballroom full of pink and lavender balloons, a DJ, a photobooth, a stage, and people dressed up. His day had gotten even better. Yachty threw himself, and his friends and fans, a prom.
Of all the elements Iâd watched him hop between in three days, this was Yachty at his best. He and the Sailing Team performed Yachty songs old and new. But, in a move you rarely see, they also rapped along and danced to other peopleâs songs. Jumping around and throwing water into the crowd, they were simultaneously attending their prom and that of the hired prom band.
And although it took him a little while, right before the buzzer went off on his teenage years, Yachty finally got what he wanted, what he deserved, what he earned. For one night, he was Prom King.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
âBloody ÂŁ9 for 2!â Furious girl, 8, goes viral with explosive rant at ice cream van
Share this with
An eight-year-old girl has become a TikTok sensation after brutally taking down an ice cream van selling two screwball ice creams for ÂŁ9.
Marnie, standing beside her identical twin sister Mylah in Burnley, Lancashire says the seller âis going to get nowhereâ with such high prices.
The youngster tells their aunt Karis Lambert, who is filming: âSo, thereâs an ice cream van there selling two ice creams with two chewing gums in it for bloody nine pounds.â
Flabbergasted and in a strong Burnley accent, she says that in her own street you can buy an ice cream for ÂŁ1 or ÂŁ2 each.
The cost isnât the only thing Marnie is astounded at however.
She continues: âAnd he only does bloody card! Stood there with my cash â bloody hell.â
Karis replies: âThatâs well bad, innit?â Marnie agrees, while adding loudly: âI bet he can hear me,â as she and her sister walk off.
The video, filmed in Towneley Park, has racked up 1.9 million views on TikTok and more than 30,000 comments, mostly finding Marnie hilarious.
@karislambert Cost of living really taking its toll on marnieđ€Ł #foryou #fyp ⏠original sound â Karis Lambert
Several posters also agree the ice creams in question are on the expensive side.
One, Lily, writes: âIâm with her on this I wouldnât stand for ÂŁ9 either,â to which Karis, who posted the video, replied: âWhen it came to ÂŁ9 on screen I said to her do you really want it, she said not for that price no Iâll just get one out of freezer when I get homeâ, followed by two crying laughing emojis.
Many of the comments point out how much they like Marnieâs accent, while others say the girls look like Harry Potter star Emma Watson.
Karis later told the Lancashire Post : âMarnie was really mad and wanted to express it on Tik Tok and now itâs gone viral.â
Speaking about the sisters, she said: âThey are a bit like Ant and Dec. Marnie speaks her mind whereas Mylah can sometimes be a little bit quieter but she is the one who always come out with the best one liners.â
Although the video has been posted as a bit of light-hearted fun, a number of ice cream sellers have been left despairing at the take-down, reports the Guardian.
One, John Taylor, whose C&M Ices van was crowned âmobiler of the year 2023â, said rising costs have had a huge impact on ice cream van owners, meaning they have no choice but to put up prices.
John told the newspaper: âItâs not just our industry. Every industry is in the same boat. The problem is everybody perceives us as a cheap product.â
âEveryone seems to think ice-cream should be 50p or a ÂŁ1,â which he said were 1970s prices.
âTheyâre quite happy to pay four quid for a lukewarm Starbucks coffee but wonât pay a couple of quid for a high-quality ice-cream.â
He said several cost hikes, including diesel, electricity, insurance, pitch fees and wages, had led to double-digit price increases for several years in a row.
John explained ice cream van owners did not have the power of a supermarket, who can buy say 1,000 pallets of Magnums, at a cheaper price.
He added that ÂŁ4.50 for a screwball ice cream was at the top end of the market but not âunreasonableâ.
Last year, we took a closer look at the 99 Flake ice cream , which isnât, as many assume, called 99 because it once cost 99p

Lil Yachty Says He Told Drake 'I Donât Feel Like You Won or Lost' in Kendrick Lamar Beef
The 6 God's friend and frequent collaborator spoke at length about the historic beef, notably pointing out that Drake was âdeemed a loserâ before the battle started.
Lil Yachty has offered a decidedly measured take on Drake and Kendrick Lamar 's undeniably historic back-and-forth .
In a recently surfaced podcast clip seemingly taken from a not-yet-released episode of A Safe Place , Yachty, whose extensive collaborative history with the 6 God is well-documented, pointed out that Kendrick "clearly had a lot more animosity" throughout the beef.
"Because Drake dropped great records," Yachty said. "Also, letâs be fair, Drake was deemed a loser in this battle before it started. Because people donât like him and havenât and heâs won for a very long time and heâs sat at the top of the throne. Honestly and respectfully, I think he still sits at the top of the throne. I think that even if opinionated masses would say that Kendrick won, I donât think that people are gonna stop listening to Drake."
While Yachty further noted that there are indeed âno rulesâ in a rap battle of this magnitude, he feels that this particular beef felt like the âmost officiated beefâ heâs seen. Still, he doesnât believe his friend and frequent collaborator lost.
"I said to Drake, I told him, I donât feel like you won or lost," he explained. "Rappers have lost, and then lost everything. ⊠I donât think that this has happened to Drake. I think that Drake will still be in everyoneâs Spotify Wrapped at the end of the year, at the top. I think he can still drop hits and it will still control the summer. I think that Kendrick made very smart moves and I donât think Drake would disagree."
Lil Yachty speaking on the Kendrick Lamar & Drake rap battle "Drake was deemed a loser in this battle before it started, cause people don't like him and havent... I think he still sits on top of the throne... I told Drake I don't feel like you won or lost" via @ASafePlacePod pic.twitter.com/YYhM7Ir8vX — SOUND (@itsavibe) May 17, 2024
In another clip from the same unreleased (as of this writing, at least) discussion, Yachty gave his assessment of how both Drake and Kendrick were forced to take different angles when it came to their respective dissesâ lyrical content. Both artists, he said, are "at the top of their game" and have been for some time. As for the specifics leveled back and forth, Yachty was also quick to point out that thereâs "no proof" of either sideâs claims.
"They didnât have much on each either," he said. "So they found, one was pedophilia and then one was an abuser, a woman abuser. And they just both kind of poked at 'em. Extreme accusations, absolutely, which thereâs no proof to either one. But itâs beef, right?"
Overall, Yachty added, this as "a really good battle," and represents something that will "never, ever, ever" be seen again. From Yachtyâs perspective, however, the beef is over, with Kendrickâs "Not Like Us" ( currently the No. 1 song in the country ) standing as the "pivotal moment" from the back-and-forth.
"That song is the one thatâll live and I hope that one day in the near future these two guys can come laugh about it," he said. "When theyâre old and gray and extremely dirt-rich, both billionaires, they can come and laugh about it and move forward."

Yachty had time to react to a disgruntled fan who was calling him out for being "absolutely shameless" about loyalty.

In tweets responding to the person, Yachty told them to stop trying to spin the narrative.
"u making shit what itâs not, everybody and they mama kno what side Iâm on. U fans be over doin shit. I didnât go into any specifics of the songs. Stop tryna spin narrative."
He continued, "Suck a dick nerd, it wasnât my beef to speak in..fuck u want me to do? Jump on a feature? I said I felt like nobody won. The whole thing was stupid to begin with. When I support him Iâm dick riding, when I dont say shit I switched up. This internet shit is so lame . Canât win."
Last weekend, Drake, whose " The Heart Part 6 " stands as the final entry in the Kendrick saga, teased that he was moving into a new frame of mind. Specifically, he told fans they could expect some presumably imminent " summer vibes ."

With a new jewelry line, Aleali May is designing mini monuments to the self

Aleali May loves an Easter egg. And at Paris Fashion Week last year, it was unmissable: a giant, gleaming butterfly hanging above her solar plexus at the Louis Vuitton menâs show by Pharrell Williams. A butterfly is known for its transformative qualities, is symbolic for its heroâs journey â starting as one thing and going through pain and darkness to come out the other side something bigger and more beautiful. The piece is part of a collection, which May designed as the first drop from lab-grown diamond company GRWN, called Metamorphosis. â[Itâs] me evolving in the space of jewelry, and me just evolving, honestly,â the creative director and designer says. âThis is a moment.â
An obvious centerpiece of the Metamorphosis collection is a choker with a line of three large butterflies dropping down toward the belly button, the last and largest being the size of a childâs hand and positioned at an angle â every inch of the piece decked out in lab-grown diamonds. There is also a smaller necklace that is no less ornate or extravagant: a large butterfly hanging at the tip of one of its wings from a cartoonishly large cable chain worn close to the clavicle. A bracelet is designed in the same vein, featuring a similar large cable chain with blueberry-sized butterfly charms dangling from it. There is a ring that takes up half the space of a finger, going past the knuckle with small butterflies flying throughout its frame. The collection has eight pieces total, including necklaces, hoops, studs, rings, bracelets and lariats, set in sterling silver and recycled 18-karat gold.
âGrowing up as a young kid of color, hip-hop raised me. Iâm thinking gaudy. Iâm also thinking simple.â
— Aleali May
May wanted the pieces to feel nostalgic and, essentially, for the girls. She called upon her fashion foremothers â Foxy Brown, Lilâ Kim â taking inspiration from music videos of the late â90s and early 2000s. Back then, more was more. âQuiet luxuryâ wasnât a phrase in our popular consciousness yet â it was all about the drip. âGrowing up as a young kid of color, hip-hop raised me,â May says. âIâm thinking gaudy. Iâm also thinking simple.â
May tapped her streetwear background to bring a collaborative energy to GRWN. At this point, sheâd not only been the architect of her own looks for years â from her days working at iconic concept shop RSVP Gallery in Chicago to 424 on Fairfax â sheâd also made streetwear history, becoming the first woman to design a unisex sneaker with Jordan and only the second woman to ever design a sneaker with the brand. Over the last few years, she also started her own line of basics, called Mayde, and collaborated on collections with major brands including Vanson Leathers and Clarks, in addition to working with Sheron Barber Atelier on a collection of diamond-shaped purses, plus a line with jewelry designer Martine Ali.
In her first meeting with the founders of GRWN, father and son Michael and Jordan Pollak, May remembers asking for a sign from the universe. The fact that their first names combined were âMichael Jordanââ was a detail that was not lost on her. In her conversations with the brand, May felt like these were people who wanted to âbuild the youth.â It was evoking the education she received while working with Don C and Virgil Abloh at RSVP Gallery, about presenting luxury in a new way. She was interested in the sustainability aspect, and the fact that it was a luxury brand that wanted to connect with people investing in their first major piece of jewelry resonated. (Lab-grown diamonds are a fraction of the price of mined diamonds and, according to the International Gem Society, have less negative impact on the environment. The pieces in the Metamorphosis collection range from $525 to $5000.) The brandâs first collaboration, coming in June, is with online menâs fashion retailer MAD. And though May is tight-lipped about who GRWN will be working with the rest of the year, she says its collaborators are âvery much like ourselves: disruptors in a very old industry.â
Mayâs creative process when designing a necklace or a ring isnât that different from designing a sneaker â at least not energetically. It all boils down to the unfolding of a narrative. She brings up her Air Jordan 14 Retro Low SP âFortuneâ shoe, in which the gold and jade elements were inspired by the first piece of jewelry given to her by her Fillipina grandmother when she was growing up. The shoes feature an all-over sandy suede, with gold and jade accents on the shank plate and outsole. âThe story behind the [Air Jordan] 14 is that [the silhouette and design is] based off of Ferrari. Men, when they think of luxury, itâs riding a car. Whatâs luxe for women? Usually jewelry,â says May.
There was an episode of Mayâs now-defunct web series for Complex, âGet It Together,â where the designer goes to Slauson Super Mall with designer Melody Ehsani. In one scene, she and Ehsani look out over the glass at the iconic L.A. Gold stall, and May paraphrases a quote from one of her favorites, Pimp C, in his intro to the Jay-Z and Rick Ross song âF*ckwithmeyouknowigotitâ: âWe love these things because we used to be kings and queens.â Sheâs referring to the glowing gold in the display. To a young Black girl in L.A., this was luxury. To shine not only felt essential, but it was tradition. There are specific pieces May has been wearing for years that weâve all come to recognize, like the gold Rolex chain with the âAâ at the center, made by her jeweler James V Ta in Chinatown. âBeing from South Central, if you know âhood politics, you know that a Rolex chain represents something,â she says.
Working with the GRWN team, May wanted the pieces to be reflective of her and her people â the way her contemporaries shop, the way they accessorize, the way they move were all important considerations in the process. âGrowing up in L.A., we always would have stuff from the swap meet,â says Tyler Adams, Mayâs longtime friend and collaborator turned manager. âThatâs just kind of a rite of passage here. You get your name plates, or bamboos, or rings. Youâll get things passed down from your grandparents or your mom or your dad. But sheâs always had a crazy jewelry stack. She was wearing the HermĂšs Clic Clac H bracelets when we were mobbing around, the Cartier Love bracelets. You figured out what jobs you had to do, how you could trade up and get these kinds of things. With [the] culture and industry that we work in, you move into cooler diamond pieces, but sheâs always had a jewelry thing.â
Over time, jewelry becomes part of our bodies, like the mole that mysteriously appeared on your chest in your early 30s. I havenât taken my white gold âJUJUâ nameplate off since the day I got it, years and years ago. I canât imagine a day when I wonât shower with it, go to the gym with it or sleep with it. Itâs become part of my identity, a physical feature thatâs as illustrative of my essence as my curly hair. A piece of jewelry, when worn especially close, tells our story for us. You know someoneâs name, relationship status, religious affiliation and neighborhood or origin from the letters on their nameplate, which finger their ring sits on or the style of chain sandwiched between their necklines. No words necessary.
In Mayâs first collection for GRWN, you can see a reflection of where the designer is now. âAnd obviously I was like, letâs get icy,â she says.
Weâre sitting in the lobby of the 1 Hotel in West Hollywood when I ask Aleali May about her Saturn return. There is a constant hum of people typing on their computers around us while men wearing baseball caps, joggers and long-cut thin cotton tees (the outfit version of a Tesla) pace in circles taking business calls. When May descended the staircase 20 minutes earlier, there was a noticeable vibe shift. She was the only one wearing three different shades of black, Balenciaga Crocs, a Louis Vuitton bag and a Harley Davidson bandanna on top of her waist-length black hair. There is a glint of recognition in her eye when I bring up Saturn. âMind you, yesterday my home girl was like, âDid you get yours?ââ A Saturn return is an astrological event that happens when youâre between 27 and 32 years old, when you go through turbulent transformations in your personal life that take you to your breaking point; a time when youâre forced to get real about your needs and desires. May, a Cancer, turns 32 this summer. âGirl. Hm. Yeah. Jeez,â she grunts, as if realizing something. âIâm still evolving every single day. But when I hit 28 is when that shift really started happening for me.â
The shift May is referring to is the one where she began to fully distinguish herself as a designer â not a designer-slash-anything. The South Central native became recognized for her personal style, documented famously on Tumblr and then Instagram. Her look was a mix of streetwear and femme luxury, hundreds of pairs of Jordans and heeled boots sitting side by side in her closet. She once described it to Farfetch as âa mix between streetwear and high-end fashion mixed with â90s hip-hop/R&B and vampire avant-garde.â Styling jobs would soon follow, for clients including Kendrick Lamar, Lil Yachty, Jaden Smith and Kali Uchis. Modeling jobs came organically (May has a kind of preternatural beauty, and it was her childhood dream to become a model, second only to becoming a fashion designer). Sheâd also designed some of the most talked-about sneakers in recent memory. Her shoes, a total of five with Jordan, are known for selling out in minutes, and she famously leaned into color, faux fur, texture and print. SSENSE dubbed her the queen of sneakers .
But Mayâs innate demeanor â one that doesnât reach too hard but instead sits back and lets people catch up on their own, mostly born out of inherent shyness â oozes with a casual influence, which led the internet and industry to dub her an influencer. Itâs a label thatâs been hard to shake for May, showing up in articles and on call sheets next to her name for years. âIâve constantly had to remind people that what I love, what I do, is fashion,â May says. âI am a designer, and I got some ideas.â
May also was 28 when she got the call from GRWN, the timing of which feels significant in retrospect. She had recently made the decision to retire from styling, and called her agency to let them know that she didnât want to make posts about bags anymore; she wanted to be the one designing the bags.
In her design work, May draws on personal history and L.A. lore. The context clues are familiar, allowing us to recognize something kindred in the details. These are stories and references that we all know but for the first time are experiencing in a package like this one. Her first sneaker, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG âSatin Shadow,â infused elements of the L.A. uniform she saw around her growing up, while roping in the things that make up Mayâs style now: satin inspired by a vintage Raiders or L.A. Kings Starter jacket, the ribbed corduroy from the house shoes her dad would buy at the swap meet, a quilted inside that draws from the iconographic element of a Chanel bag. âIâve seen her grow in design far beyond colorways or materials, but actual storytelling,â says Frank Cooke, a curator and former Jordan designer who worked with May on her sneaker collaborations. âI think that thatâs one thing that kind of separates her from a lot of different collaborators is that she always tries to tell a story.â
The pieces are anchored in the autobiographical. They also lean toward the structural. May tends to design things we live in and identify with â sneakers, leather jackets and, now, jewelry. Her pieces all become mini monuments on their own, but on the body operate like an addition to a house.
People never seem to recognize this, but May is low-key goth. She speaks with a South Central-inflected monotone in her voice, and is always down to lean into the darker undertones of an outfit, upping the drama with black leather or structural details. She had a goth aunt growing up; she still thinks about her sometimes when constructing a look for the day. âShe was the black lipstick, black T-shirt, Doc Martens girl with the glow-in-the-dark nail polish,â May remembers. âKorn posters, Slipknot. When Iâm looking at all the people in my life growing up, they all had their own personal style.â This alternative streak lends itself to her designs. Her sneakers attract the type of wearer who is not only comfortable with being different but thrives in it â rocking a dusty rose suede contrasted against a streak of orange in her Air Jordan 6 Retro âMillennial Pinks.â We get the rebellious sense from her pieces that they donât care whether you understand them .
In 2021, she collaborated with Mattel on an Aleali May Barbie for private auction. An ode to her multitude of designs, the doll was replete with mini re-creations of her âAâ chain, a sample leather two-piece set from her personal line, the first shoe she made with Jordan and a bag from the collaboration she did with Martine Ali.
The Harley-Davidson bandanna sheâs wearing at the 1 Hotel was inspired by her father, who goes by Buddha, and is president of the motorcycle club Chosen Fewâs Colorado chapter and was a former member of the Ruff Ryders. May was influenced by him when designing her collection with Vanson Leathers and Fly Geenius. Sheâs always drawing from the root. Her family, her Black and Filipina background, her pop culture references as a teenager, growing up in L.A., her time in Chicago â they all factor into the personal style and design approach thatâs earned her nearly half a million Instagram followers. Every day, a new May. âI am a girl that likes to switch up,â she says. âI might be super goth today, but tomorrow I could be a hipster wearing tie-dye like I need to be walking in Malibu with a denim bucket hat. I like to have different types of jewelry for different occasions and obviously, Iâm always putting on an outfit.â
Sheâs spotted at show after show, often in the front row. Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Rick Owens. Ottolinger, Mugler, Sacai, Balmain, Givenchy, Chanel. Following May along her various fashion week journeys is a good way to gauge what sheâs working on, and in the last year, weâve seen the Metamorphosis collection in almost every public appearance, even if we didnât know what it was yet. âNeed this necklace,â the Instagram comments inquired. âI was at the Gucci show in Milan, and one of the photographers was like, âIs that a collab youâre working on? Because we donât see you pop out like that ,ââ May remembers. âIâm glad you get the hint. I mean, it is big. You canât miss it.â
The butterfly is a classic motif in jewelry. Has been for centuries. GRWNâs director of design, Annalisa Cervi, brings up Wallace Chan, a Hong Kong jeweler and visual artist known for his intricate carvings from gemstones that often feature butterflies. In classical jewelry design, the butterfly often is used to communicate an appreciation for Mother Nature, Cervi explains, reflected in its natural cycles and rhythms. In this case, the butterfly was personal to Mayâs story. In immortalizing it in stone forever, there was an acceptance that once she stepped into this new role, there was no going back to what was.
Butterflies, when spotted in the wild, or tattooed on the torsos of chaotic girls in their 20s, may be regarded as some kind of a sign. We designate a spiritual meaning to these creatures, seeing them as a nod from the ether that itâs time for a change or, better yet, growth. And even more obvious than the meaning behind it is the collectionâs flashiness, which forces the wearer to ascend, or move differently. The Metamorphosis Butterfly Diamond Pendant in particular might blind someone on a sunny day. It would call attention on anyone but even more so on May, who pairs it with Rick Owens shoulders, pink leathers, fur hats and full camo fits. âSheâs naturally evolving,â May says. âAnd youâre seeing that.â
A point often pushed by the lab-grown diamond industry is that the stones have the exact same chemical composition as mined diamonds. With mined diamonds, the clarity is up to chance; whether a single 1-carat diamond might be found within 200 million pounds of ore is a gamble. In Mayâs case, the clarity she was looking for was one she had to grow herself.
