AceShowbiz - YG recently addressed why he has no plans to create a sequel to the controversial protest song "FDT," explaining that the complications it brings aren’t worth it.

Almost ten years ago, YG and Nipsey Hussle released "FDT," a powerful diss track targeting former President Donald Trump. The song quickly became an anthem during the 2016 political climate, resonating deeply with many and serving as a memorable protest record. Despite persistent fan requests for a follow-up, YG has made it clear that no "FDT Part 2" is forthcoming.

On a recent appearance on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, YG shared that the demand for a sequel has been relentless, especially after Trump secured another term in office. However, the rapper emphasized that reopening that chapter is not something he wants to do, citing ongoing challenges related to the original track.

He revealed that the backlash from "FDT" has continued to impact him years later. Certain promoters have restricted him from performing the song, and some events specifically prohibit it, affecting his business opportunities. YG mentioned instances where organizers wanted him to perform but forbade the inclusion of "FDT" in his setlist.

Additionally, YG disclosed that after the song’s release, he received communication from the White House, highlighting the government’s awareness of the track. This situation recalls historic moments when artists like Ice Cube and N.W.A. faced government pushback for similarly provocative music. Despite these pressures, YG continues to stand by his roots and the message of the song.

Interestingly, YG recounted a college show where the contract explicitly stated he would not be paid if he performed "FDT." Even so, he went ahead and performed it, noting that the song was an essential part of his show and that the performance was well-received by the audience. This demonstrates his commitment to artistic expression despite obstacles.

While "FDT" was largely embraced as a street anthem rather than a mainstream commercial hit—it never entered the Billboard Hot 100—it remains a significant cultural and political statement. YG stays aware of its impact and the ongoing discourse it generates.

Ultimately, YG prioritizes his peace of mind over reigniting political conflicts. He acknowledges the song’s lasting influence but prefers to avoid the complications and "smoke" that creating a sequel would invite. For now, that chapter remains closed.

Fans looking for a follow-up will likely be disappointed, but YG’s stance reflects a desire to focus on other aspects of his career without the persistent headaches that "FDT" brought. His remarks at the end of the interview underscore his commitment to moving forward without revisiting this particular controversy.
