Mr. Hotspot Says He Wanted Drake & Lil Yachty To Use Clean Version Of His ‘Goodness Gracious’ Song That They Sampled For ‘Super Soak’: ‘I Work w/ Children’

Update (Aug. 5, 2024): Mr. Hotspot is opening up about why was hesitant to clear his “Goodness Gracious” sample for Drake and Lil Yachty’s “Super Soak” song.

His explanation comes after Lil Yachty revealed he leaked the song anyway.

Mr. Hotspot said on social media recently that he simply wanted the rappers to release a clean version of the song.

“We recorded them a clean reference and we sent it into them so hopefully they rerecord the clean reference and we come out with the clean ‘Goodness Gracious’ altogether.”

He continued,

“So I said it’s a process but it’ll be good for both of their brands like that and I’m blessed to work with children so we just gotta make it clean for them.”

He pointed out,

“Like we don’t need no children getting whooped cause they said this or that you understand and if you look at the backside it’s the children who really running these views up so if we make sure both verses clean everybody coming clean everybody gonna benefit for sure its a process but we appreciate you being patient we sent it in today they got it today and now those boys about to turn up.”

Mr Hotspot breaks his silence and says he now told Lil Yachty and Drake to create a clean version of ‘Supersoak’ / ‘Goodness Gracious,’ since he works with kids, thats the way he’ll clear the sample, seems like its happening

Original Story (Aug. 1, 2024): Rapper Lil Yachty’s recent admission is garnering some backlash online.

Social media users have been sharing their disapproving thoughts about the 26-year-old since he revealed he intentionally leaked a song against another artist’s wishes.

Lil Yachty, real name Miles Parks McCollum, spoke about the matter during a recent podcast interview. The musician explained how he and Drake recorded a song titled “Super Soak” that sampled the single “Goodness Gracious” by social media influencer Mr. Hotspot, which he released around two years ago.

Though Mr. Hotspot’s song was a viral success, Yachty said that he and Drake never got the clear to officially drop their single. Instead of jumping through legal hoops, the “One Night” rapper revealed he opted to send the record to YouTuber Kai Cenat, who later played a snippet of it during a livestream.

Speaking about the situation, Yachty stated:

“We couldn’t get the sample cleared so I just let Kai [Cenat] play it.”

Continuing, the rapper confirmed that an official version of the song won’t ever come out but he’s still happy because a full leaked version is “everywhere.” When asked how the mixup with Mr. Hotspot clearing the sample came about in the first place, Yachty added:

“This wasn’t an artist…this was an Instagram, social media influencer…he went down like a Christian path…I don’t think we even got into money he was like ‘No’. It was crazy, everyone was like ‘are you serious?'”

Reacting to the remarks, many social media users condemned Drake and Yachty for the action. Some criticized the apparent lack of respect for religion, while others commented on how wrong it is to go around someone who explicitly stated they didn’t want their art to be used in a certain way, no matter if it’s an artist or an influencer.
