YFN Lucci has been on the national rap scene since his 2014 mixtape Wish Me Well, so he's proven to have some staying power at this point. 

But some might say that his former relationship with Lil Wayne's daughter Reginae Carter helped with that, as well as his ongoing beef with Young Thug.

On Tuesday, Oct. 6, Lucci caused some controversy by saying that he's responsible for the new wave of rappers who've come out.

The last time we heard from the Atlanta native, he shot a gun at one of his video shoots.

What do you think about his claim concerning "new lil rappers?"
