YSL Woody has achieved infamy. The YSL member was not particularly well-known prior to the group's RICO charge, but he's become the star witness in the subsequent trial. And despite becoming the best known "rat" in the rap since Takeshi 6ix9ine, YSL Woody has continued to flex online. The rapper heard that YSL co-founder YSL Mondo had some criticisms for him during a recent interview. In response, he took to Instagram Live and proved he was very much "outside." It didn't convince his YSL peer.
"I be outside like the motherf*ckin' sun," YSL Woody tells his viewers. He proceeds to hop in a car and show off a duffle bag full of cash. "Y'all know how I'm coming," he continues. "Pull up and get it!" YSL Woody then makes direct reference to the YSL Mondo interview. "Y'all n**gas stop playing," he stated. "Keep me out these interviews." Woody doesn't mentioned Mondo by name, but it's very clear that he has the co-founder in mind. So clear, in fact that Mondo responded to the Woody flex video with an IG Live of his own.
To put it simply, YSL Mondo was no impressed. "You ain't nowhere but in your surrounding area," he camly stated. "Ain't nowhere where I'm at. You just got the internet, boogie woogie a*s, folks who ain't from Atlanta type sh*t from around the way." YSL took it a step further, and undermined YSL Woody for showcasing money in his car. "You ride around with every dime that you own on you," Mondo explained. "That ain't no money my brother, go get you a bank account, my boy."
YSL Woody's attempts to flex were further undone by Mondo's observations. The YSL co-founder said people in the know don't respect Woody, regardless of how much cash he throws around. "Real n**gas ain't respecting that boogie woogie a*s sh*t," he asserted. "Don't let these small town street punks on the internet juice you up and make you think you a real n**ga... You can never be no more." Woody may have the fame, but Mondo's commentary is pretty damning.

Doechii may be getting a lot of flack from haters these days, but it surely feels less significant amid a lot more love, development, and pressure from everyone else. One aspect of her skyrocketing career that many listeners are curious about is how she will "fit in" with other femcees, which is a bit of a dismissive notion boxing all female rappers into the same box. Nevertheless, at least the Tampa native has another superstar in her corner. During a recent livestream with fans, Megan Thee Stallion revealed that a collaboration with her is one of the things she wants to manifest the most for her next project.
"I see Doechii, b***h, I love Doechii," Megan Thee Stallion remarked of the ALLIGATOR BITES NEVER HEAL creative. "I do want to do a song with Doechii. That is on my album wishlist. But I really have no song right now. "I feel like Doechii is the kind of person that you’d have to be in the studio to make a song with. I would like to hear a beat that she would like to rap over. Also, challenging myself to rap over beats I would not normally rap over, without losing myself."
Given that they have skill sets and interests in common – plus their track record of other female collabs – these two might spark magic in the studio together. This joins other developments that bode well for Meg's next album. Plies, for example, recently, dropped his copyright lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion over her "Wanna Be" collab with GloRilla and Cardi B that sampled Soulja Boy. Hopefully that experience prevents more sample clearance misunderstandings in the future.
Meanwhile, Doechii will definitely drop a new album later in 2025, which will be her studio debut. Her previous mixtape won Best Rap Album at the Grammys this year, so who knows what a big debut will yield? It's also a good opportunity for Megan Thee Stallion to hop on, although this hypothetical collab would likely feel welcome on either femcee's records. In any case, we're keeping our fingers crossed and hoping that any link-up lives up to its potential.
