(And sure enough, as she did so, a passing car played “FDT” near her outside Grand Central Market on Broadway.) “I just felt like I was doing something that I was supposed to do,” YG told The Times in September. “FDT” is now a little mournful too, because Hussle’s 2019 murder took away one of YG’s closest friends and collaborators.
