YG Details Childhood Sexual Assault In New Song “2004
YG is opening up about his childhood trauma on his confessional new track, “2004.”
Accompanied by a YG and Hidji World-directed video, “2004” sees the rapper confront the sexual abuse he faced when he was as young as 14. “When I was young, I got raped by a bitch twice my age,” he opens the stark track, which also features Buddy and The Gang. “Ever since that day, I never looked at shit the same.”
YG recalled how he went to school with the woman’s niece and how when he told his friends about the experience, they thought it was “exotic” and exciting. “A bitch took advantage of me, I ain’t got no trust,” he raps in the third verse. “The hoe was thirty years old, and I never told… I knew this wasn’t regular as I grew up.”
The hard-hitting song is YG’s first new release since he dropped his Just Re’D Up 3 project last year.
