Lil Yachty Makes His Return to ‘Hot Ones’ & Beats the Spicy Challenge

Lil Yachty delivered one of the most memorable Hot Ones episodes in 2018 with his first hot sauce experience, and the album has returned to the table for another bout.

Rocking a hot pink wig and a Coogie sweater from The Notorious B.I.G.’s closet, Lil Boat appeared on Wednesday’s (Jan. 15) episode of Hot Ones and gave a much-improved performance dealing with the spicy wings as he crossed the finish line.

After trying out the mozzarella sticks dipped into the hot sauce, Yachty recalled his most awkward performance when he performed at a festival in Thailand.

The disaster began when he saw a few hundred at the stadium that could have fit 50,000 people. He hit the stage ahead of All Time Low. “Those fans were not there for me,” he said. “If there was a 100 people, maybe 10 of them were there for me and I had an hour set. It was so empty, you could see far and it was raining.

Yachty continued: “They don’t speak English and it’s nine people here in a capacity of f—ing 50,000. They don’t understand me in between the breaks when I’m speaking English, and they’re not there for me. It was tough.”

Hopefully, Boat won’t face any more crowds that sparse as he’s slated to open on Tyler, The Creator’s Chromakopia Tour, which starts on Feb. 4 and will run through North America.

On the music side, he teamed up with James Blake for their Bad Cameo joint project last June.
