Lil Yachty thinks that his make is much bigger than his music as he reflects on the first week sales for his debut album "Teenage Emotions."

The get-go week sales numbers are coming in for the albums released just over a calendar week ago, and Lil Yachty debut at number five on the Billboard 200 chart this week afterward selling 46,000 copies in the first week of release. In a lengthy emotional alphabetic character posted on his Instagram account, Yachty thanks his fans while explaining that he didn't exercise the album for his critics, but for his loyal and growing fan base.

"Message to all my fans," he wrote. "I just desire to thank you for giving me your all. Supporting me and backing me up when I'chiliad not around merely am always in spirit. I didn't make this 21 project for the one-time reviews and bloggers. I made it for real Lil yachty fans who have been dying for new music from me… that's why I put so many songs.. that's why it's generally just me. Because it's from me to you."

The Atlanta rapper too acknowledge that the kickoff week numbers didn't alive up to expectations and blames it on his brand outgrowing his music. "I experience like my brand is and then big and blew up and so big, it blew up bigger than my actual music," he added. "Which isn't the worst situation it could be worse all I take to is make it to where my brand hype and music hype equal out.. I am back in the studio."
