According to a familiar cliché, a picture is worth a thousand words. Your favorite celebrities—including rappers—are doing less and less press, but luckily their thumbs and smartphones still work. Instagram has provided a way for them to document their lives and/or thoroughly embarrass themselves for our collective enjoyment. The beauty of it all is that you don’t even need to join Instagram, as most rappers are perfectly fine leaving their feeds open for public viewing. And if you’d rather avoid the IG life altogether, we’ve filtered through the top rapper’s pictures and videos and consolidated all the week’s events into one convenient feed.
This week, Freddie Gibbs ducks shots after a show in New York, and Foxy Brown disses Ma$e for performing in front of a paltry crowd in London. Check the rest of the week’s top Instagram posts below.
Dame Dash And Jim Jones Reignite Their IG Battle
Jim Jones and Dame Dash have been beefing through IG. Looks like they’re taking advantage of the limitless caption space unlike Twitter. After Dame Dash called out Jim Jones for not being an original Diplomat, Jim struck back, attacking Dame’s finances. It looks like this beef may never get resolved, as Jim dissed Dame via IG back in August, calling him a “culture vulture” and a “thief.” Caption: “Somebody ask this dickhead @duskopoppington dame if his car note n rent is paid this month or is he still sneak thieving his own people to pay bills he can’t afford smh why did u fire David Chang cause u put a car in his name n didn’t want to pay th car note which is ur bill n then u put hands on a defenseless Chinese man why u dont do tht tuff shit like u said to a real tuff nigga like my self oh cause u a faggot sneak thievin cock sucker dam dame u went out like a bad batch of tht scaggy postin pics wit @mr_camron aint gone save u bro u need Jesus lol Byrd nigga n when u see me u know whts up aint nothin change nigga lmao this should b fun exposure lol is this wht U wanted to b back in th game right well here’s ur introduction n u owe me bout 5k cash from all them 100 dollars I was givin u Dailey like my side bitch”

Foxy Brown Disses Ma$e
Unfortunately, Ma$e has seen better days. Foxy Brown posted a picture of the former Bad Boy rapper turned Georgia preacher at a concert where the turnout was less than ideal. The turnout consisted of a crowd of 200-250 people in a venue that can hold up to 2,350 people. To make matters worse, Foxy Brown was a no-show to a show in London, England where she was supposed to perform alongside Fat Joe and Ma$e.Caption: “GOD don’t like ugly Pastor Mase!”
