Blxckie Trolls Lucasraps After ‘Y.O.G’ Fails to Debut On Spotify Top 200. The release of Lucasraps’ debut album “Y.O.G” has ignited fresh drama in the South African hip-hop scene after it failed to debut on the Spotify Weekly Top 200 Album Chart in its first week.
Music tracking page 2022 Africa broke the news, stating: “Unfortunately, Lucasraps‘ Album ‘Y.O.G’ did not Debut on the SA Spotify Weekly Top 200 Album Chart in its first Week.” The disappointing start quickly became fodder for online commentary, especially from fellow rapper Blxckie.
Blxckie wasted no time reacting with a sly and pointed post: “might tell you a joke but I’ll never tell you a lie.” The short message, widely seen as a humorous yet cutting troll, has drawn mixed reactions. Many interpreted it as Blxckie subtly shading Lucasraps while keeping things “honest,” highlighting the competitive and often personal nature of the local rap game.
The exchange carries extra weight due to the well-documented beef between the two artists. Once collaborators on tracks like “Big Time Sh’lappa,” their relationship has soured in recent years. Blxckie recently escalated tensions with lyrics on his song “Karma,” where he directly addresses Lucasraps, claiming superiority and distancing himself from the project. Lines referencing “the real Y.O.G” and dismissing Lucasraps’ relevance have fueled speculation that the chart miss provided Blxckie the perfect moment to throw shade.
Fans have taken sides in the feud. Some accuse Blxckie of kicking a man while he is down, while others praise him for keeping it real in an industry full of inflated egos. Lucasraps has remained relatively quiet on the latest jab, though he has spoken in past interviews about attempts to resolve issues with Blxckie.
Industry watchers note that first-week Spotify performance does not always define an album’s fate, particularly for independent or emerging acts navigating South Africa’s crowded streaming landscape. However, the public trolling adds pressure on Lucasraps to deliver strong organic numbers and momentum in the coming weeks.
