The “Another Late Night” musician trims his braids down to a short style ahead of his Rolling Loud show.

Lil Yachty flaunted his fresh haircut while performing at Rolling Loud Miami 2024 on Friday (Dec. 13). While certain fans were shocked and found it hard to believe, others swiftly began to draw comparisons to various celebrities, such as Harlem-born rapper-turned-media figure, Mase.

Lil Yachty has emerged as one of the most culturally significant artists hailing from Atlanta. His recent comeback can be attributed to his adaptable style in music and his ability to collaborate. Recently, he has received acclaim for his writing contributions to the joint album “Her Loss” by Drake and 21 Savage. Most importantly, he was credited as a writer on the notable track by the Canadian rap star, “Jumbotron S**t Poppin.” Listeners can catch his adlibs in the background of the track, and Drake gives him a shout-out in the song.

Fans had plenty to say about the new hairstyle of the multi-platinum artist. One fan shouted, “Honestly, you have way too much money for your haircut to look like that, dude.” Another user said, “you seem younger, I don’t intend any offense by that, by the way.” Another person utilized a GIF of Mase after complimenting him for his latest cut.

Other fans noted that his regular collaborator Drake recently got a haircut, which may have influenced him to follow suit. Their relationship has been extensively recorded over the years. Recently, Lil Yachty was a model for the collaboration between Drake’s OVO and Disney’s “The Simpsons.” This new collection halted the rumors that Drake and Yachty had ceased to be friends.

The speculation began when “SOD” was posted on social media lacking any lyrics from Lil Yachty. The track was first showcased by the “Poland” artist during Kai Cenat’s stream. The track sampled by Mr. Hotspot faced challenges in obtaining clearance because of its content. The prominent social media figure provided a polished reference track, yet the song has never been officially released as a single on streaming platforms.

It’s uncertain when Drake will drop an official single, as he currently has two legal petitions pending against Universal Music Group and Spotify. Hit play on his newest video from the “100 Gigs” initiative, titled “No Face.” Though it was formally launched as a solo song, it originally surfaced on Drake’s finsta account featuring contributions from Playboi Carti.
