About

Get That Yam Off Your Face, also known as Big Yam Face or Get That Yam Off Yo Face, refers to a recording of an Instagram Live in which a man has a yam tied to his face to make fun of another man with a big nose. In the roast video, the man calls the other a "big yam face" and the man being insulted cuts him off, saying to the camera, "Why are you yellin', bruh?" The man being insulted is named Boskoe100 (aka Boskoe or @skoegangthegreat) and the insulter is named twilightgotti (aka @prolific_gotti110). The video spread via reposts on Twitter / X and elsewhere, notably relating to rapper Rick Ross' beef with Drake.
