Olivier Lafontant of Pitchfork compared Echols's mixtape Studio Addict to the early work of Young Thug and Ken Carson.[13]

Controversies

[edit]

Alleged grooming allegations

[edit]

In 2025, Echols gained controversy for allegedly trying to groom a then 16-year-old girl in a text message while pretending to be a 17-year-old when he was 19–20.[3] He later admitted to the allegations in the song "Clout Demons", stating "I know I fucked up, I admit I was horny" and compared the controversy to XXXTentacion's controversies.[14]

Altercation with Che

[edit]

In July 2026, Echols was involved in a public altercation with rapper Che following an ongoing online feud. Social media users shared footage showing the two and their groups getting into a physical altercation inside a department store close to a Balenciaga kiosk.[15] After the incident, Echols uploaded pictures of a chain on social media and claimed to have snatched Che's chain. Che refuted the allegation, claiming the chain displayed did not belong to him and shared videos showing himself wearing a chain. No criminal charges were reported.[16]
