Background


"Stop Snitchin" is a diss song towards rapper 6ix9ine, whose feud with YG reignited in 2018 starting with YG's video for his song "Bulletproof", in which a 6ix9ine lookalike is being locked up and taunted by prison inmates before the word "pedophile" flashes, alluding to the child sexual performance charges he pled guilty to in 2015.[2] In November 2018, 6ix9ine was arrested on multiple federal crime charges. The song's diss refers to his plea deal and cooperation with federal prosecutors.[3]

YG premiered the song during his Coachella set in April 2019, performing in front of a photo of 6ix9ine's mugshot emblazoned across the festival's jumbotron.[4]

The single was released on April 24, 2019. A rat is shown on the cover artwork, referencing the slang definition of the word, meaning one who tell on others to authorities.[5]
