Chika has been at the majority of Los Angeles protests following the murder of George Floyd, using her platform to promote change and seek justice for the countless people of color killed by police violence and racism. She has not been shy about calling out others, either for their lack of action at this time or for misusing their platforms. This week, she came for YG after being part of the protest.

"YG said he here to shoot a video," tweeted rapper Chika from the crowd. "I would like to go home. this feels incredibly disingenuous. but im glad people showed up. shooting a music video while breonna taylor’s killers are still walking the streets is fucking disgusting."

YG and Black Lives Matter organized the largest protest thus far in Los Angeles this weekend, drawing over 50,000 people on the corner of Hollywood and Highland.

Demonstrators gathered at the popular block at 4 PM on June 7, bringing signs and peacefully marching down the street to send a message. The event, which was organized by YG, Black Lives Matter-L.A., and Build Power. The gathering was much larger than the one last week in Downtown Los Angeles, and you can clearly see that the action went on for blocks in YG’s video.

“For anyone out there talking I don’t question your advocacy and don’t think you should question mine. See you gotta understand that a lot of people out there they see me as a N***a. They don’t see the black proud man. They see a kid from Bompton and they expect violence. They hear FTP and they think I’m gonna come and burn my city. So we showed up and did it right,” wrote YG after the protest, sharing a powerful drone video of the crowd singing his new song.

“We proved them wrong. The real story here is me and Black Lives Matter brought out 50,000 people today to peacefully protest and unite for change. I wanted to document that so when they hear this song and think we are reckless and violent they see a peaceful protest of all different people coming together for a common cause. That is history. That is breaking down these stereotypes on our people and our neighborhoods.”

YG‘s plans to hold a protest in wake of the recent killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery have been put on hold. The rapper took to Instagram to announce that he was told that the protest could be unsafe and can possibly result in people getting hurt or shot.

“So I got bad news I was told today that my protest is not safe and that people could get hurt or shot,” YG said. He previously announced plans to hold a demonstration at Hollywood & Vine in Los Angeles. “I’m not trying to get none of my people hurt or shot so I’mma cancel the date. It’s fucked up but I’m gonna come back bigger and better. I’m partnering with Black Lives Matter and we gonna do this shit the right way. For the people, for the city, and for all the artists that wanna pop out and participate.”

Though his protest was pushed back to a later date, he did go against the label’s wishes to release another protest song titled, “FTP.” Carrying the traditions of Compton natives NWA, his latest song revitalizes the term “Fuck The Police.” 

“‘Fuck The Police’ is out right now. It’s in my bio. I couldn’t wait for the label,” he said. “I’ll see y’all outside.”

Check out YG’s new song “FTP” below. 

One of Compton rapper YG‘s most popular songs to date guises itself as a social activism anthem. “FDT” is an anti-Trump record, performed by YG and Nipsey Hussle, and it has become significantly resonant to the rapper’s brand. After everything that he has witnessed in recent weeks, it looks like the sequel is on the way. However, YG is aiming his lyrical weapons at a force more widespread than Donald Trump.

“#FUCKTHEPOLICE this week,” wrote YG on social media, posting a copy of his cover art, which is very understated. The artwork has the three letters “FTP” and a parental advisory sticker.

The announcement has already been co-signed by the likes of Tyga and Ohgeesy from Shoreline Mafia.

Although YG did not specify the date of the release, it’s likely that it will be out at the end of this week. If he doesn’t care about charting figures, he may go for a release earlier in the week for larger impact.

He’s not alone in releasing music to combat all that has arisen this week with protests and riots breaking out across the nation. Conway The Machine, Denzel Curry, Ty Dolla $ign and more have all recorded songs about the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder.
