Despite T.I.’s insistence his post about keeping violence out of Atlanta was not directed at the fight that led to the death of King Von, his friend 600Breezy doesn’t seem to be buying it.
In a post on his Instagram Story on Monday (November 9), the Chicago rapper shared a photo of himself with Gucci Mane‘s “What Kinda King? (I Smell Pussy)” playing – a diss track aimed at Tip that Gucci released in the mid 2000s. The lyrics he chose for the short clip were telling, as Gucci raps about shooting and killing his then-enemy.
“T.I. will you please tell TIP, I got a new 40 with a 30 round clip,” Gucci raps. “When I see him and he move I’m a shot him off the rip/Tryna spark rap beef that’s how people get killed/Gucci bigger than him, the fight not fair/We can start it over here, but we can end it over there.”
He also took to his Instagram stories to reshare T.I.’s infamous Crime Stoppers commercial and lace the footage with side-eye emojis. He also proclaimed Boosie Badazz to be the “real” King of the South.
Just one day prior, Breezy shared a video attempting to defend Chicago gang culture and their high rate of gun violence. Seemingly contradictory to what he’d later go on to insinuate with the Gucci song, the rapper claimed that him and his affiliates try to just use their hands and have a clean fight, but they’re forced to use guns because of their enemies.
“So I just want everybody to look at this shit and understand Chicago’s point of view from the culture,” he said. “My first time ever getting shot at was for me breaking a n-gga jaw. N-ggas coming to my school every day tryna kill me over fist fights. My homie just got took out his glow over a fist fight. Just see where we coming from! Like, see where we coming from. That’s it, that’s all I’m saying. Folks and them would have been blowing from the jump if that was what it was,” he added. “Folks use hands! So that’s all I’m saying.”
Waka Flocka Flame Deactivates Instagram After Scolding T.I. For ‘Talking Down’ On The Streets
In his response to the backlash for his original post, Tip called Von his ally and accused his followers of being “grossly mistaken” for thinking he was referring to the fight between him and Atlanta-based rapper Quando Rondo when he said to “Handle YOUR beefs in YOUR city.”
“I don’t speak on my allies,” he wrote. “My last post had nothing to do with King Von. Y’all grossly mistaken, I have no motive or intention to do harm or malice to cats I’m cool wit. My family’s heart goes out to them & I’ve expressed this to people in his life that matter most in this situation. That’s all I’m concerned with.”
50 Cent also called Tip out for the post, warning him people get killed for statements like that. Waka Flocka also chimed in to denounce Tip’s post, but deactivated his Instagram shortly after calling him out.
Smoking dope i see some serious dope thinking lil boosie the king of the south. The south has run hip hop since what 2004 after nelly and the midwest had there moment. Even going by that standard id put lil wayne by far as the king based on relavancy and sales. Followed by the t.i rick rosses gucci manes. No jeezy 3 charting albums in 6 yrs span dont make u king of anything if thats the case thug been round 6 yrs migos and so forth. Boosie aint even the best from his state master p lil wayne possibly kevin gates oh yeah the hot boys from cash money. Louisiana got talent history and depth. Booseie good but king of south or even louisiana nah
Uhhhhh….what?
U a dam fool if u thinkin boosie aint king of Louisiana bruh… He own it flat out by right go ask da streets of Louisiana!!!
Literally No One:
Chicago: 2020 needs more black bodies.
Look, TI is right. Yes, it is truly tragic that King Von was killed bc he was young and he was talented and he died over senseless violence, but that’s exactly wtf he went looking for. He kept campaigning on getting killed and he got elected. Smokin on Tooka, fuckin around with that lil girl that got killed it’s dumb. It was dumb. The shit in Chicago is senseless and stupid. All of them could have gotten money together, but they would rather do dumb shit. If you don’t see that Youngboy and the whole NBA crew is headed in the same direction, you’re stupid. Boosie isn’t tryna get caught up in this shit either. He moved to Atlanta to get away from the bullshit in BR his damn self.
BR has a higher murder rate than Chicago this year and mostly has for decades. That’s not a good thing. Chicago stays in the news bc it’s third biggest city in the nation and 30 ppl will get killed in a weekend. On the real though, you know what people say when we try to talk about police brutality? They say “yeah, but what about all the ‘!black-on-black’ crime in Chicago. You kniw what people say when we try to get stricter gun laws? “How’s that working out in Chicago?” They’re deadass wrong, but nobody in Chicago even cares. Do none of y’all even see the damn YouTube videos celebrating the fallen child soldiers of Chicago? Drill rap made dead black bodies entertainment. You know what Von’s death did?? It made the label who had that $10mi life insurance policy $10mil. Durk ain’t gon see that. Von’s kids won’t see that. The label who sure as shit never put $10 mil into his career or development as an artist gets that money.
Nobody in the game needs to fuck with ANY of them until they realize that life is no longer cheap for them. This dude is deadass wrong bringing Gee Money or old Gucci Mane shit into this. Nobody in the South is with that except maybe YB crew and if they would listen to the older, wiser voices around them like TI or J Prince, they might learn something.
OTF need to get over it though. They’re acting like Von was some angel who had left that shit behind. GTFOH.
