Lil Pump teased a rock song and is already being accused of ripping it off

Lil Pump took a detour from his rap career to tease some rock music, and he’s already been accused of ripping another artist off. 

The rapper is known for his colorful dreadlocks and unique rap style. He has a large and varied fan base which includes Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl. In 2018 he popped up on Forbes coveted 30 Under 30 list along with fellow rappers Post Malone, 21 Savage, and the late Juice WRLD.

Over the weekend, Lil Pump posted a video of himself headbanging to a song on his Instagram story

“Ayyyyyeeee,” the rapper shouts as a bombastic, bass-heavy song plays. The song title has not been released. Some of its lyrics include “slit my wrists,” “fuck that bitch,” and “drop-top whips.” 

Though he dances to his own music, the comments made it clear that Pump’s latest song is a big miss.
