Lil Yachty Reacts To Criticism Of His WWE SmackDown Appearance: I Understand Ya’ll Upset But Don’t Try And Step On My Fu**ing Moment

Lil Yachty has clapped back at fans who have reacted negatively to his appearance on this past week’s WWE Friday Night SmackDown.

On the April 3rd edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, the artist would feature as part of the show as he would accompany Trick Williams throughout the night. Now, he has clapped back at fans who aren’t too happy with his inclusion on WWE programming.

In a new social media post late on Saturday, Lil Yachty would quote tweet a post poking fun at WWE’s inclusion of celebrities this WrestleMania season, telling fans not to ‘step on his moment’.

“i understand yall upset but don’t try and step on my fucking moment, i’m at the tv screen every monday and friday religiously. i’ve been to more ple’s than most. i probably know more history than most of yall. who’s to say i don’t deserve to be apart of something i love so dearly?”
