HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paul Archuleta / Getty A social media chat between rappers Lil Yachty and the controversial Bhad Bhabie got very heated as they discussed the concept of cultural appropriation. The 18-year old personality and recent addition on OnlyFans got on Instagram Live with Yachty on Wednesday (July 21) to vehemently dismiss claims that she’s a racist. “The one thing I’m really, really sick of is the whole ‘Bhad Bhabie is a cultural appropriator,’” she told Yachty. “No. Y’all make these words have different terms to what they even mean.

Lil Yachty Shares New Version of Saved By the Bell Theme Song

The internet has been pretty divided on the Saved By the Bell reboot since Peacock announced it, and the new take on the theme song by Lil Yachty isn’t exactly soothing the nerves of those hoping for a smooth continuation of the original.

On the other, Saved By the Bell fans have likely only ever heard of Lil Yachty if their kids introduced it to them as a way to embarrass their aging parents. Whichever side you fall on, it’s hard to imagine the crossover fan base is worth the effort it took for NBC to attempt to get people to care about any of Peacock’s original programming. Hell, they need all the help they can get after having to explain to people that the eig...
