Freddie Gibbs has accused Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR of biting his style with their upcoming album Some Sexy Songs 4 U.
The title of the collaborative project, which is stylized as $ome $exy $ongs 4 U or $$$4U for short, bears a resemblance to that of Gibbs’ 2022 album $oul $old $eparately, which he also tends to shorten to $$$.

Drizzy and PND’s joint LP additionally features cartoon bunnies on its back cover, similar to the “Big Rabbit” mascot that the Gary, Indiana rapper has adopted for years.
The similarities have not gone unnoticed by Gangsta Gibbs, who aired his grievances with the OVO Sound duo on Thursday (February 13).

“Damn they even stole the rabbits too. I’m flattered,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), shortly after Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR unveiled the tracklist for $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, which drops on Friday (February 14).
He then looked to capitalize on the moment by directing fans to his aforementioned album.

“$$$4u [heart emoji],” he quipped while resharing a spoof “Greatest Hits Collection” commercial he filmed in 2022 to promote $oul $old $eparately.
The ESGN MC also retweeted several posts from fans calling out Drizzy and PND for allegedly stealing from him, making sure his point was felt.
Damn they even stole the rabbits too. I’m flattered.

Though Freddie Gibbs has yet to cross paths with Drake as either a collaborator or an adversary, he has taken cues of his own from the 6 God in the past.
Back in 2021, Gibbs dropped a freestyle over Drizzy’s Certified Lover Boy into “Champagne Poetry” and addressed everything from Kendrick Lamar‘s “smoking on your top five” boast from Baby Keem‘s “Family Ties” to being snubbed by the Grammys and BET Awards.
He was equally outspoken when Drizzy and Dot’s long-simmering beef finally boiled over last year, reacting to the latter’s line on “Like That” where he rapped: “And your best work is a light pack / N-gga, Prince outlived Mike Jack.”
“First of all Mike ain’t dead,” joked Gibbs, who hails from the same city as the late King of Pop, on social media following the song’s release.

After the two Hip Hop titans traded blows on diss tracks like “Push Ups,” “Euphoria,” “Family Matters,” “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us,” Freddie gave a surprising answer when declaring a winner of the battle.
“The record labels,” he wrote succinctly.
