Lil Skies canceled his tour last month amid a health scare.

He also just skipped out on the opportunity to be part the 2018 XXL Freshman list, at least according to his buddy, video-maker Cole Bennet.

Apparently, XXL tried to replace him with Rich The Kid. But Rich backed out when he realized that he wasn't their first choice for the spot.

#richthekid supposedly turned down the XXL freshman list after finding out XXL tried to put him on the list as a replacement for Lil Skies since Skies didn’t show up. Rich the kid wasn’t bout to be no replacement and said no thanks. He went to Times Square and did meet ups with his fans ! (More info in link in bio)
