Jo Koy’s recent Netflix special, Live in Brooklyn, has sparked controversy, particularly from rapper Young Thug. In a clip from the special, Koy criticized Young Thug’s 2014 track “Lifestyle,” contrasting it with the music of the Notorious B.I.G. Koy’s comments about “mumble rap,” while acknowledging its catchiness, were met with backlash.
He humorously mimicked “Lifestyle,” mumbling gibberish, which did not sit well with fans of Thug’s music. Koy also emphasized his admiration for Biggie, claiming, “Whatever he said made sense, he was a poet!”
Social media reactions were mixed, with many finding Koy’s use of “mumble rap” outdated and suggesting it was inappropriate to critique a song that has achieved significant recognition. The discussion continues as fans share their responses online.
