Lil Yachty and Drake fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the Atlanta rapper has swiftly re-followed the Toronto superstar on Instagram, following a brief unfollow that sent social media into a frenzy. 

The drama unfolded when eagle-eyed fans noticed Yachty had unfollowed Drake on August 20, sparking rumors about a potential rift between the two artists. 

Given their strong personal bond and frequent collaborations, the timing couldn't have been worse, especially with ongoing tensions in the rap world, including Drake's rumored feud with Kendrick Lamar.

One popular fan theory suggested that the brief unfollow might be linked to Drake's upcoming release of "Supersoak," a track that originally featured Yachty but has since had his verse removed. 

The song faced issues when the sampled artist, Mr. Hotspot, refused to clear the sample unless a clean version was made, leading to speculation that Yachty's unfollow was tied to the track's changes.

Despite the drama, Lil Yachty has re-followed Drake, putting an end to the rumors for now. 

However, the situation has left fans wondering about the future of their collaborations and friendship. 

Meanwhile, Yachty continues to face challenges, including a "fashion battle" thrown down by Jim Jones over the Atlanta vs. New York style debate. 

As always, Yachty's outspoken nature keeps him in the spotlight, and fans are eager to see what comes next.
