Freddie Gibbs has upset some pretty devoted fans when he revealed that there wouldn’t be a follow-up to his critically and commercially acclaimed Fetti project because of Curren$y‘s alleged failure to effectively promote the project.
Taking to Twitter on Friday (June 30), the “Crime Pays” rapper responded to a few fans who remarked that rap wouldn’t be getting Fetti 2 because Curren$y’s latest project, Vices, sees him “fucking with all of [Freddie’s] enemies” — the enemies in question being Jim Jones and Benny The Butcher, both of whom Gibbs has a long-standing beef.
Gibbs remarked that “we wasn’t going to get that shit regardless” before taking to what appears to be his burner Instagram page to reveal that Curren$y “shitted” on their first project.
“N-gga shitted on our first project,” he wrote. “Didn’t shoot one video or do one show. I ain’t get mad, I just subtracted him from the equation and me and Al made another classic [and] went to the Grammys. End of story.”
While fans won’t be getting a Fetti 2 anytime soon, there’s still no shortage of new Freddie Gibbs music to enjoy.
Last month, Madlib debuted some new, unreleased songs he made with Freddie Gibbs and the late Mac Miller, and confirmed during a recent tour stop that he’s got a ton of new music in the works.
Last month, the Bandana producer previewed some new tracks during a performance in Sydney, Australia, including a song called “John Gotti Karate” off his and Gibbs’ forthcoming collab album Montana.
He also previewed another new song called “Nosy Neighbour” featuring Mac Miller, which he said will appear on their long sought-after collab project Maclib.
Elsewhere during his show, Madlib confirmed he had even more albums in the works with Fly Anakin and Meyhem Lauren, and said they were all coming soon.
As for Curren$y, besides Vices, he recently dropped a collaborative album featuring Jermaine Dupri called For Motivational Use Only Vol. 1, which has received its fair share of critical acclaim.
“The album only spans 22 minutes across seven songs which helps and hinders,” HipHopDX wrote in its 3.2-rated review. “The brevity helps fans listen and digest easily but the short runway doesn’t allow any chemistry between the two to flourish. Now, they don’t need to be inseparable best friends to make a good album, but it does feel a bit forced, at times awkward, and perhaps rushed.”
Freddie’s not been cool with Curren$y since that album. He’s been saying this lowkey since his episode of the Pull Up, Joe Budden’s old show. “I’ll never do another collab project with another rapper.” Almost 4 years ago. I don’t think Curren$y thought Gibbs had issue with him until the Benny beef started on Twitter.
Fucking hell, we heard you.
Not my fault this website can’t process comments correctly the first time.

Spreaddie Gibbs a homo
Freddie is the kind of guy that will never be as successful as he could because he has a terrible attitude.
He such a talented artist but his personal is super strange. He’s ALWAYS playing himself. You can tell he’s from Indiana. I lived in Indiana for a few years and the black ppl there are weird. They was raised around then trailer park whites and that makes them act super weird. Do all sorts of corny stuff. If he shit up, stayed low key and made music he’d be on top as an artist and have respect.
The All: I would like to know where did you reside at in Indiana?
Bro, you coming for a whole state. Last I thought, trailer parks all over the country.
Freddie is the kind of guy you don’t really want to be around or work with. He has that Kanye energy. Those dudes get all in their feelings and ruin every relationship because things don’t go their way. Does Freddie even have friends in the industry? Freddie got hot then got arrogant. Now he lost all sorts of momentum and fans because of it. It is a bad look for Freddie smh
