FBG Young discussed the influence of Chief Keef on Chicago's drill music scene and the tensions that arose from Keef's actions and lyrics. Young confirmed that he barely knew Chief Keef before he gained fame and referred to Keef as a "goofy in the streets," questioning his authenticity. Chief Keef's rise to stardom with tracks like "Don't Like" brought major attention to Chicago, making him a notable figure in the drill genre, which Young acknowledged, although he credited other artists like Lil Durk and Edai for pioneering the back-and-forth nature of drill music. Young also touched on the sensitive topic of Keef mocking the deaths of rival rappers, including Lil JoJo and Tooka, in his songs. He shared that this mocking deeply affected him and his community, causing significant friction. Despite the chaos that ensued, Young admitted that Keef's decision to leave Chicago likely saved his life, given the violence that surrounded his rise to fame.
