YK Niece Finally Tells The Truth About Pluto & What Happened After “Whim Whamiee” Blew Up! (CLIP1)

On this clip from It’s Up There Podcast, YK Niece finally speaks on the Pluto fallout after “Whim Whamiee” blew up and explains why the Metro Boomin call changed how she saw everything around her. She says Atlanta rallying around her mattered, but hearing from Metro on that level made all the little talk feel small. This clip also has real search oxygen because the outside story is already strong. Pitchfork called “Whim Whamiee” an early song-of-the-summer contender in April 2025, and by January 2026 the Atlanta Journal-Constitution described YK Niece as coming off a major feature run that included both Pluto’s “Whim Whamiee” and Metro Boomin’s “Take Me Thru Dere.” What makes the clip even stronger is that YK doesn’t just speak on the fallout. She reveals how “Whim Whamiee” was really made, says she and Pluto built it in the studio over hours, and then admits she still doesn’t fully know how things went left after that. She also opens up about already losing a 15-year friend before this and how that changed the way she handled the whole situation. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW on It’s Up There Podcast.
