HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: James Gilbert / Getty Rapper turned podcaster Gillie Da Kid and Rick Ross have been engaged in a days-long war of words that is reaching a new level of petty for both gentlemen. According to Twitter, the Philadelphia media figure is currently ahead of the race against his Florida counterpart, although some observers think the beef is corny.

Mack Maine, the president of Young Money Records, posted the video showing the two gentlemen exchanging pleasantries instead of nearly coming to fisticuffs. From w...
