YelaWolf bashes an anti-Confederate shirt on his Facebook page.
Since the tragic, racially-motivated shooting at a church in Charleston this June, the U.S. has been embroiled in a debate about the Confederate flag, which has since been removed from many state government buildings. One of the main arguments presented by the symbol's supporters is that it represents more than slavery and deep-seated racism, and that's basically the tip Alabama native Yelawolf was on when he bashed an anti-Confederate shirt on his Facebook page last night.
Also citing numerous examples of black Southern rappers who have worn depictions of the "Bars & Stars," Yela targeted a shirt that features a burning confederate flag. It was designed by Babylon, a company run by Lee Spielman of the punk band Trash Talk (who have collaborated with Flatbush Zombieson a few occasions), who went on to briefly respond on Twitter. Read Yela and Spielman's remarks below.
YelaWolf :

Confederacy surrender like Cowards they really wasn't bout it bout it .

Are those some SS ? bolts??
This little white supremacist BAMMA has gone full KKK -
It is without doubt that the confederate flag represents slavery and white supremacy, yet he's going out of his way to defend it.
Showing his true colors............ -
Isnt he signed to Shady Records?
"The apple dont fall far from the tree" -
He need to chill out. He's really going to end a career that never really got started. I have yet to find a ? around my way that has even made a comment about his music. He needs to channel all that energy into some music. Right now isn't the time to be repping this confederate flag. You will ? around and get yo neck broke. Its some white dudes out here who would probably woop his ass for this ? .
-
the funny thing is his wife is black .
-
Remember when ? used to wear Brittish Knights and Tommy Hillfiger
-
-
Who cares.... People can feel how they feel. He wanna rep his flag, he can. Our problems are bigger than an irrelevant rapper.
-
his wife is a Canadian singer name fefe Dobson
-
If he feels that way, why doesn't he speak out against white supremacist groups that misuse the flag????? Dude defensive as ? ...... Bet he, like many other, won't address that side of the issue though......
-
he's a clown...
-
best thing about this is i dont think anyone in this thread owns a Yellawolf album or would attend a show so ? him
-
-
his wife is a Canadian singer name fefe Dobson

Doesn't bother me. I don't mind his older music either. He's made songs with Big Boi, Gucci, Chef and Mystikal and those songs were bangers. He's not a racist, just a country dude from Alabama, with poor people black and white. Read his back story, he seems pretty cool. His music didn't get wack til he signed to Shady. Plus, the majority of his fanbase shares his skin tone and subsequently, his struggle. He's in his lane, let em live.
