Mr. HotSpot Offers To Clear Sample For Drake & Lil Yachty On One Condition

Drake and Lil Yachty might be able to drop their viral collaboration if they do one thing for Mr. HotSpot.

The social media influencer, whose song "Goodness Gracious" is sampled in Drake and Yachty's leaked track "S.O.D (Super Soak)," took to TikTok on Saturday, August 3, to clear the air about his stance with the two superstar rappers. In his livestream, HotSpot explained that the explicit language Drake and Yachty used in their version made him deny their request to clear the sample. However, he agreed to clear it if Drizzy and Lil Boat rerecord a clean version of the song.

"We sent [the reference track] in, they got it today and them boys are about to turn up" HotSpot said in the video. "We ain't trying to hold them back from nothin'. But we just needed the morals correct, that's all."

The song was originally interpreted as a sneak-diss to Soulja Boy, who believed it was a response to his recent rant on X. The title and chorus of the record mention Soulja Boy's 2007 song "Super Soak" and his label Stand On Deck. After he went off on Drake during an Instagram Live session, SB said he reached out to the Canadian rapper and resolved their issues.

Lil Yachty recently revealed how streamer Kai Cenat got ahold of the unreleased song. He told Andrew Schulz during the Flagrant podcast that he leaked the song to Kai Cenat after HotSpot initially denied the sample.

"We couldn't get the sample cleared so I just let Kai play it," Yachty said. "He went down like a Christian path...it was crazy, everyone was like, 'Are you serious?'"

We'll see if Drake and Lil Yachty agree to HotSpot's terms.
