Yelawolf is calling out fellow hip-hop star Macklemore.
The Shady Records rapper claims that he confronted Macklemore at the Osheaga Music Festival in Montreal, Canada this past weekend. Yela says that the disagreement stems from his belief that Macklemore has stolen his logo and re-appropriated it for his own brand. According to an Instagram post, Yelawolf says that he was approached for a photo by a fan wearing a t-shirt that looked like Yela’s own brand, which features a deer. He soon found out however, that Macklemore has his own t-shirt with a buck as the symbol.
Yelawolf says that he was sure to address the Seattle rap star regarding the similar design and the two had words backstage at the show.
“I confronted him after his set,” wrote Yelawolf. “And he said its 5 or 6 years old. Then he asked, ‘Are we cool?’ He’s a fan obviously so whatever.”
The Alabama native went on to say that any fans that see Macklemore’s shirts should let it be known that he ripped off the idea.
“Look if y’all see this shirt out there call it out, 4, 5, 6 years old don’t matter. She was wearing it yesterday,” Yelawolf tweeted. “THATS OUR S–T BE [CLEAR!] POSERS.”
