Benny The Butcher and Freddie Gibbs have numerous collaborations together. In 2020, the two rappers joined forces for “One Way Flight” from Burden Of Proof as well as “Frank Lucas” with The Alchemist. But somewhere along the way, their relationship took a sharp left and they wound up trading shots on social media earlier this year.
Benny accused Gibbs of “begging” to do an album with him, which Gibbs refuted. Needless the say, the collaborative project fans were hoping would happen is looking more and more like less of a possibility.
During a recent interview with Drink Champs, Benny The Butcher admitted he really doesn’t understand how he wound up having beef with the Grammy Award-nominated artist.
While primarily tight-lipped about the situation, he did offer, “It really ain’t nothin’, you know… I don’t get to, like, into, like, rap relationships. A lot of times it don’t be real, you feel what I’m sayin’? So it’s like, I guess that n-gga put a tweet up or some weird shit and I don’t know why he did that shit.” When N.O.R.E. replied he thought they were friends, Benny concurred, “That’s what I thought.”
The tension between Freddie Gibbs and Benny The Butcher was palpable after the Griselda rapper sat down with Spotify Greenroom’s Most Necessary: Live in April. During the conversation, Benny said his working relationship with Gibbs “came and went.”
Gangsta Gibbs evidently heard the interview and quickly jumped on Instagram with, “N-gga said ‘working with Freddie Gibbs came and went.’ I know some other shit that came and went too, n-gga,” he responded. “Just keep my name out y’all mouth, man, when y’all talking to people who are doing interviews and shit. Just say ‘next question, man. I don’t want to talk about that n-gga, man.’ Just say ‘next muthafuckin’ question.’ For real.”

They continued swapping social media jabs in the days that followed with Benny tweeting, “I never seen these n-ggas tough nowhere but the internet” and Gibbs firing back, “Shout out my Houston n-ggaz,” a nod to the city where Benny was shot in the leg during a botched robbery in November 2020.
Gibbs is the new Game of Hip Hop. He’s gotta beef with anybody nowadays to keep his name a buzz. Smarten up, Freddie. If it didn’t work for Game, then it probably won’t for you either.
Seems to be working just fine. Your ho ass is talking about it. He was nominated for a Grammy, Benny wasn’t. Dork. Also, people are looking forward to Gib’s new album. You never have to look forward to any Griselda shot because they out out 7 projects a week. I mean… weak.
How’s that Benny dick taste there, buddy?
Pretty good actually
It’s sad when two lyricists are at odds. All the negative energy should be focused on “rappers” who sing, mumble and autotune their vocals.
Idiots have no vision. Imagine the wu beefing publicly during the 90’s, we wouldn’t have gotten all the gems. Imagine drake and oli and 40 were busy beefing instead of keeping heads cool. We wouldn’t have gotten the gems. As artists you need to put down the petty beefs and be a bit more intelligent. It’s your brand that is ultimately compromised from this stupid, waste of energy and the fans suffer too
Wow. You call yourself the real and bring up Drake and Handy man in the same sentence as the Wu. Clown. Why not bring up N.W.A. and Bieber. What a fucking cornball, pop fan clown you are. Don’t ever speak on hip-hop again. Herb.
Yoooo! You’re back from sitting down to take a piss. We thought you finally off’d yourself lol. I can feel your depression. Get help. You hating drake ain’t gonna fix anything
Your name would be on my mouth if you were releasing some dope shit on the regular. Seeing your beef headlines just makes me yawn. Next.
Benny can rap circles around Gibbs and I’d be willing to bet he could beat his ass too.
Wow. You must be from buffalo and suck at opinions. LOL. Gibbs has more than one style. Period. He won. Benny, like all of Griselda, has a formulaic repetitive flow and puts out WAY too much music. He doesn’t have one classic album. Gibbs has at least two. I’m a fan of both. No one on Griselda is ducking with Gibbs period. As far as fantasizing about dudes wrestling around and shit, that’s pretty Griselda too. Bang bang ping ping boom boom zing zing pew pew poot poot fart fart.
Nah guy, the question is what are you doing for me now. Benny has dropped three fire albums in a row recently freddie hasn’t released anything worthwhile since Alfredo and still hasn’t come up with an album that has matched pinata and bandana. Freddie is falling off and all this beef shit is a distraction. He needs to get back to work. Sure he was rapping circles around folks in 2015 but all the shit he has dropped lately has been a yawn fest
I’m baffled at how you get paid to write these bullshit articles.
You know when grown men just come across as immature? This is one of those situations. Pointless beefs. It’s always the rap community.
Benny and Freddie would have been great on a joint album. Unfortunately petty shit sometimes get in the way of good business and art.
