Back in May, the artist also expressed being snubbed by the BET Awards. Yung Bleu said, in part, “Tired of being quiet sometimes. I be wondering who a** I gotta kiss to stop being sh*tted on. BET ya’ll know that’s some bullsh*t. Don’t say ya’ll don’t consider me a new artist either cause ya’ll think I just popped up after ‘You’re Mine Still.’”
