Atlanta, GA — Juelz Santana and Fivio Foreign have fired back at Lil Yachty after his recent criticism of New York fashion. The debate centers around whether Atlanta or New York holds the crown as the ultimate trendsetter in the world of style.
In a recent episode of his “A Safe Place Podcast,” Lil Yachty boldly claimed that Atlanta is the true fashion influencer, suggesting that New York has been copying the ATL’s style. He argued that the influence from Atlanta was significant and that New York’s fashion scene lacked innovation.
Lil Yachty specifically targeted people from the Bronx and Queens, questioning whether they even shop in Manhattan. His comments sparked a swift response from New York’s hip-hop elite.
Juelz Santana took to Instagram to address Lil Yachty’s remarks, expressing love for Atlanta but asserting that the most influential trendsetters hail from New York. He highlighted his own impact, along with fellow Dipset rapper Jim Jones, and acknowledged other NYC figures like A$AP Rocky and Fabolous.
Brooklyn drill star Fivio Foreign also weighed in, tweeting, “How Yatchy say ATL dresses better than NY with a whole NY fit.”
Lil Yachty later attempted to clarify his statements on TikTok, acknowledging New York’s historical significance but emphasizing that recent trends have emerged from Atlanta. He apologized to the Bronx and playfully added, “I be in New York, so don’t f***ing rob me.”
While the debate continues, Lil Yachty remains steadfast: “When it comes to the flyest trendsetting people, it’s Atlanta.”
