Rapper Lil Yachty Criticizes Black Lives Matter Organization as Fraudulent

The artist cited financial misconduct by the group’s leadership, including misuse of donations for personal gain.

Lil Yachty, during an appearance on Quenlin Blackwell's YouTube series, called Black Lives Matter (BLM) a 'scam' and criticized its financial practices.
The rapper’s comments referenced reports that BLM leaders misused millions of dollars in donations, including purchasing a $6 million mansion in Los Angeles.
BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigned in 2021 after scrutiny over her personal use of organizational funds, including payments to family members and hosting private events at BLM-owned properties.
Cullors has denied wrongdoing, attributing criticism to politically motivated attacks, while watchdog groups have alleged potential legal violations in BLM's financial management.
The controversy surrounding BLM's financial practices continues to raise questions about the transparency and accountability of the organization.
