“So, I had an album coming out April 12th, it was supposed to come out on Friday but I got some fucked up news that my n***a had passed on me and shit,” YG told the crowd before performing a new song titled “Stop Snitching,” which utilized some 6ix9ine imagery (namely a mugshot) in its stage presentation.
