There’s been a positive development in the reported tension between Royce 5’9 and Yelawolf. During a recent Instagram live session, Royce responded to a question from a fan about the status of their relationship.
When a fan directly asked, “Are you and Yelawolf okay?” Royce offered a reassuring response:
Yeah, we alright. One thing about me is I’m not gonna let anything sit around and not get resolved. He didn’t really do anything that surprised me. So, yeah, we alright.
This brief exchange suggests that Royce and Yelawolf have patched things up, resolving any prior issues they might have had. While Royce’s cryptic comment about Yelawolf’s actions not being “surprising” leaves some room for speculation, the overall message is one of reconciliation.
Remember, tensions arose in 2020 when Royce dissed Yelawolf on the “Overcomer” track, seemingly over a cultural insensitivity issue.
However, this recent statement is not that different from what Royce said back in 2020, after “Overcomer” was released on Royce’s Grammy-nominated album “The Allegory”. He stated:
We didn’t speak, but [Yelawolf] reached out after that. I don’t wish him nothing but the best. I don’t wish any ill will on him, or anything like that. But I took offense to what he did and I moved on. It’s not the first time.
Anyway, Royce’s decision to address the situation publicly demonstrates his commitment to resolving conflicts. This news is a welcome sign for fans who appreciate both Royce da 5’9” and Yelawolf’s lyrical talents and hope for a reconciliation.
Whether this newfound peace will lead to future collaborations remains to be seen.
