believed Lil Yachty&rsquo;s &ldquo;It&rsquo;s Us&rdquo; branding was too similar to Kith&rsquo;s &ldquo;Just Us&rdquo; mantra. Williams also questioned the rapper&rsquo;s authenticity as &ldquo;one of hip-hop&rsquo;s biggest sneakerheads,&rdquo; citing a story where Lil Yachty admitted to being unfamiliar with Jay-Z&rsquo;s music.&nbsp;</p> <p>&ldquo;This is my thing, right?,&rdquo; Lil Yachty said during Saturday&rsquo;s panel. &ldquo;I hate when people act as if all shoes must be like this&hellip;I don&rsquo;t even understand.
