Source: Prince Williams / Getty In a VERZUZ battle that nobody asked for, Benzino reportedly called out both Joyner Lucas and Royce da 5’9 for reasons we’re not even able to discern on our best days. As it stands, the Boston veteran didn’t get the exact response he wanted and now it’s gotten ugly to the point of threats and low-blow insults. The war of words came to our attention late but from what we’ve been able to follow via social media, Benzino caught a shot from Nickel Nine via Instagram which featured a screencap of a tweet of the initial call out. From Royce’s IG: Y’all owe me for these laughs. I want my flowers for these hysterical outbursts during these trying times… 🌹🌹This muf*ka dun challenged me to a Verzuz battle… 🤦🏿♂️ He ...

(Photo by Kyle Gustafson / For The Washington Post via Getty Images) While Black twitter continues to drink the seemingly never ending August Alsina tea there is a beef between two of Rap’s biggest personalities to also be savored. Freddie Gibbs has responded to Akademiks in very petty fashion. As reported on HipHopDX the “Crime Pays” rapper is now selling merchandise with Livington’s likeness superimposed on a Teletubby; yes a Teletubby. He announced the move on his official Instagram. “I ain’t done with U p***. I’mma torture U until U quit your job. And whoever else want smoke holla at Big Rabbit” he w...
Source: Isaiah Trickey / Getty Although Swizz Beatz has been credited with keeping music fans engaged in entertained via his VERZUZ series with Timbaland, that same spirit of harmony was absent in him over the weekend. After calling Drake out his name during an interview session with Busta Rhymes, Swizz walked back the jab but some in the OVO camp won’t accept the apology. Via Swizz’s Instagram Live-based Zone Radio show, the producer chopped it up with Busta Rhymes discussing a variety of topics. Last week, the track in question, “Stay Down,” made its way to the Internet, which features a J Dilla beat and record around 2012. Busta for his part was fine with the song never dropping but Swizz was ready for war. Drizzy’s vocal tone is noticeably different with both men rocking similar verses...
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty G-Unit’s goon, Tony Yayo wasn’t feeling DMX’s jab at his lyrical skills and went extremely low when clapping back. *Yayo voice* Here we go now. Following DMX’s apology to Lloyd Banks, where he admitted to confusing Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo when it comes to who has bars in the Hip-Hop stable, G-Unit, Yayo didn’t bite his tongue getting back at Dark Man X. In a now-deleted tweet, the “So Seductive” rapper took a shot at DMX’s well-known battle with drug addiction and called him a “crackhead.” “Dmx a crack head who cares what he think.😂” — Tony Yayo (@TonyYayo) May 30, 2020 This all began when X first dissed Lloyd Banks and asked Fatman Scoop during an Instagram Live interview, “Lloyd Banks? Lyrical? Quote four bars. Impress me with four bars of his....
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Past collaborators Boosie Badazz and Webbie appear to be at odds with one another, with the brewing beef spilling over into social media. Bun B stepped in to offer his assistance in settling the disagreement between the former friends as only a certified OG can. Last week, YFN Lucci shared an Instagram post showing love to Boosie for his support over the years, prompting Webbie to reply under the post and slam his one-time homie. It appears that Webbie felt that his support of Boosie when he was facing legal issues wasn’t recognized or appreciated and that got a lengthy and emotional response from Boosie that stated his side of the argument. Seeing enough of the back and forth, Bun B took to Instagram and shared that he and the late Pimp C of UGK had their m...
Source: Thaddaeus McAdams / Getty Boosie Badazz courts attention with nearly every move he makes on social media for reasons that are less than savory according to some. However, the Louisiana rapper caught a stray after YFN Lucci gave him props on Instagram with Boosie’s past collaborator Webbie letting off some choice words in the comments. Lucci posted on Instagram an image of him and Boosie together, writing in the caption, “Dem n*ggas did that for the boss” in what appeared to be a salute to the OG. Webbie comments, which appear to have been deleted, point to some potential tension that most didn’t expect to witness. “N*GGAZ DID THAT AND DOING ALL THIS SH*T FOR THE BOSS NOW BUT WHERE THE F*CK ALL U N*GGAZ WAS, WHEN I SACRIFICED ALL MY SH*T N TOOK CARE OF FAMILIES WHEN YOU WAS IN JAIL ...
Source: TM/Bauer-Griffin / Getty The beef between 50 Cent and Irv Gotti has been in motion for a while, and it doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon. The G-Unit boss claimed that the Murder, Inc. co-founder owed money to the Black Mafia Family, but Gotti claims Fif has his facts all wrong. Last week, 50 posted an image of Gotti on Instagram with the caption insinuating that he owed BMF’s Southwest T payback on a cash loan. “yo @irvgotti187 you best be coming up with that bread you borrowed from Big T in Encino you sucker ass n*gga. you didnt go see him or put nothing on his books. yeah he home now so you can stretch out to him or get stretched,” read the caption. Fif also trained his sights onto Jeezy, stating that the rapper who has long been affiliated with BMF didn’t show supp...
