"Hate Me" is a song by American rappers Lil Yachty and Ian, released on July 26, 2024 with an accompanying music video directed by Cole Bennett. It was produced by Childboy.

Composition

The lyrics find the artists bragging to and criticizing their enemies,[1][2] while the beat has been described by critics as "humming, fizzing"[3] and "cyber-equestrian bounce". Ian performs in a calm flow that has been compared to that of rapper Swapa.[4] At one point Lil Yachty boasts he is "richer than your favorite rapper", followed with the line "If I'm not, then, God, kill my momma".[5]

Critical reception

Mano Sundaresan of Pitchfork praised the song for Ian's "gleefully fried punchlines that made his breakout song 'Figure It Out' instantly memorable" and commented "Yachty is comparatively a non-factor, a flashy name to attract Kai Cenat devotees and Despicable Me 4 fans to the Cole Bennett–directed video".[4] Aaron Williams of Uproxx also reacted favorably toward Ian's performance, writing the song "gives the young rapper plenty of space to show off his lyrical talents."[2]
