Lil Yachty Reveals he Wrote Yung Miami’s Verses in City Girls’ ‘Act Up’

Lil Yachty pretty much claimed to write the City Girls’ smash hit, “Act Up” in its entirety.

In an interview with Kerwin Frost the Teenage Emotions rapper set the record straight about how much he contributed to the song because people assumed he was credited with only a couple lines. According to this interview, the only part he didn’t write was JT’s last verse. This could be true because JT does have writing credits on the song alongside her label mate and Isaac Earl Bynum.

“He may have said like one thing in the studio and they credit him,” Yachty said. “I wrote the whole song except for JT’s last verse. But everything that everyone is singing and all. I wrote the whole thing.”

“I just thought like them. I know them personally,” he said. “I know what women like to hear…what’s just some raunchy shit?”

Fans were blown away by Lil Yachy’s ability to write such a women-centered raunchy hit.

Two of the most prolific and historical jewels he gave listeners looked as his role as a power influencer in Black music. McMillan spoke on the legendary history of Prince, Michael Jackson and others who not only created music history but they gave much of their life and legacy to empower Black people and all people worldwide.  He took issue with those who he claims use the integrity and power of the movement for their own personal gain.  As co-founder of The Artist Empowerment Coalition, McMillan was sure to set the record straight on a few things he and the AEC fought the music industry for many years during the music freedom’s era.
