Why he might be annoying:

He was a one-hit wonder.
’Pop, Lock & Drop It’ is ostensibly a dance song but also doubles as slang for firing a handgun.
He dissed Nelly for not making a guest appearance on his debut album.
His official website consisted entirely of the word ‘Huey.’

Why he might not be annoying:

He said about growing up, ‘It was really rough. My momma and my daddy were on drugs. My brother was in and out of jail.’
‘Pop, Lock & Drop It’ spent over six months on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart and went double platinum with sales of over two million singles.
AllMusic wrote that he ‘has skills and swagger to burn.’
After a Yo Gotti concert in St. Louis, the SUV in front of his Jaguar was targeted in a drive-by shooting, resulting in the deaths of three of his childhood friends (2009).
