Lil Yachty just dropped a bombshell that’s shaking up the music world, and it’s all about his unreleased track “Super Soak” featuring none other than Drake. But here’s the kicker—this banger almost didn’t see the light of day, all because of a sample clearance gone sideways. And who’s to blame? Mr Hotspot, the man who took a hard pass on clearing the sample, citing his religious beliefs as the reason.
Lil Yachty says he sent Kai Cenat his song "Super Soak" with Drake to leak on stream, after Mr Hotspot did not want to clear the sample because he's religious
"he went down like a Christian path… he was like 'No' it was crazy everyone was like are you serious?"

Yachty spilled the tea during a recent interview, and it’s one for the books. According to Yachty, he was all set to release “Super Soak,” but things hit a snag when Mr Hotspot, the guy whose sample they used, refused to clear it. And the reason? “He went down like a Christian path,” Yachty explained. “He was like, ‘No.’ It was crazy. Everyone was like, ‘Are you serious?’”
Apparently, Mr Hotspot’s newfound religious convictions clashed with the content of the song, and he wasn’t about to compromise. So, what’s a rapper to do when he’s got an unreleased track with Drake just sitting there, collecting dust? Enter Kai Cenat, the streaming sensation who’s known for his wild, anything-goes streams. Yachty decided to take matters into his own hands and sent the track over to Cenat with one simple request: leak it on stream.
Now, if you know anything about Kai Cenat, you know he’s not one to shy away from a little controversy, especially if it means giving his audience something to talk about. So when Yachty’s track landed in his inbox, you can bet he was ready to drop it live for his fans.
