Freddie Gibbs’ social media feeds are typically full of lighthearted humor, promotional ephemera for whatever project he’s working on and the occasional jab at DJ Akademiks. But on Sunday (April 25), a video he posted via Twitter backfired and had his mentions blowing up with criticism. The since-deleted clip in question showed a Holiday Inn Express employee seemingly having a meltdown on the job.
“You wanna get mad and hit the computer because you made a mistake?” a customer filming the employee asked. “Cause your company made a mistake? You wanna take it out on me?” to which the employee replied, “I’m not taking it on you.”

The customer fired back, “So why did you get mad and hit the computer?” From there, the employee violently punched himself in the head before picking up the computer and smashing it over his own head. Gibbs wrote in the caption, “Somebody make sure this white boy don’t have a gun.”
As cries of “cancel Freddie Gibbs” started making the rounds, Gangsta Gibbs wasn’t going down without a fight. Although Gibbs did delete his original tweet — which he initially said he wasn’t going to do — he was armed and ready with several rebuttals.
“Cry me a river bitch,” he wrote in response to the outrage. “I don’t tell grown men to shut up unless I plan on knocking they teeth out. Who’s next? I love pissing fake woke Twitter off y’all never do shit in real life.”
Freddie Gibbs then called out the perceived hypocrisy in relation to another video he posted, adding, “I posted a group of naked bitches fighting and ain’t none of y’all check on they mental health.”
But people were still ready to argue, writing things such as, “Nah but like the guy in the video was clearly having a mental breakdown” and “You comparing a service worker who finally had his breaking point to a bunch of wild bitches fighting over nothing. Crazy.”
But Gibbs was undeterred and made sure to let his roughly 455,000 Twitter followers know he wasn’t letting the negativity get to him.
“Mood all day bitch,” he wrote alongside a clip of a kid breakdancing.
To be fair, Freddie Gibbs has publicly shared some pretty outrageous things about his life that outweigh a clip of someone having a breakdown.
During a February appearance on The Joe Rogan Podcast, Gibbs casually mentioned he’d once shot a “crackhead” nine times as they were discussing the illegality of cocaine and why .45 caliber bullets exist.
“You know this is some real shit because there was a crackhead back in the day,” he said. “I shot the n-igga nine times with a TEC-9 and he kept running down the alley.”
Several people were quick to point this out on Twitter, with one person writing, “It’s funny that freddie gibbs saying he shot a crackhead 9 times was memed but him posting a video of someone going through a bipolar episode is what gets him cancelled.”

Freddie Gibbs fans are mostly white hipsters so they likely to turn on him if he slip up
twitter is for pu ssies
I don’t check for Freddie. Not my thing but good luck to him. I like Redman, Griselda, Eminem, Jay Z, Raekwon, Nas. Those rappers inspire me. Also The Weeknd and Kanye.
Who asked?
Just saying. Him shooting an addict – while his father is a well paid police officer, Gibbs dissing rap legends like LL, all these things makes me not want to listen his music at all. Ppl hustle to get out the hood he came from a well paid father yet he’s shooting drug addicts? And admitted it? Fuck that. He freaks me out like I feel like I’d be supporting a bully. Which I’m not for. But hey he’s got fans. Good for him. Not for me,but he can do his thing.
Jack Dorsey (Twitter CEO) was caught censoring content and admitted it. Twitter is known to be a cesspool of propaganda, best to stay far away
He’s pushing 40 talking about some ”cry me a river bitch” on twitter smh
this outrage is about weak as the fruities on DX talking about someone age when trying talk about someone….. let’s be real ain’t no young audience on sites like this so you got a bunch of old heads calling over people old heads. make it make sense
other*
Freddie the man
and ur a trash bag
I mean…. he shouldn’t have a gun.
Freddie Gibbs been a lame ass fake 2pac. I been saying that and y’all keep putting up with big artist who got talent. His music is not good or original.
He can’t rhyme for shit and and the stuff he says is just less than mediocre
You know you fake gangsta when you talk about people you shot on the Joe Rogan podcast
Freddie been an old corn dog ass nikka
All u haters shut the fuk up and breathe it’s not that serious. If u think gibbs is really intending to make fun of someone’s disability u guys are idiots he thought it was funny dude melting down. Big fuckin deal. Cry me 7 oceans bitches
Okay. I don’t know tho – his Dad’s a cop but he shoots drug addicts and now he dissed employees/workers having a hard time at work. Maybe he has a fetish to diss the handicap? He should make a music video about that in Miami. It’d be fitting! Lol
That would probably be hilarious
no doubt these some kids who are only around cause of the Grammy nod
Freddie good in my book. I don’t care who’s mad at him about some socia media bull. Word.
Can we just cancel Twitter? I’m so sick of hearing about it because the only time I do is when sensitive white knights/justice warriors, feel the need to bitch about what someone said. They could just ignore it and keep scrolling but that requires brain cells
Freddie is hip hop! Hip hop ain’t for sensitive ass lames. Cancel cancel culture and keep hip hop raw. Talkin bout bullies these woke keyboard warriors always tryin to mess up someones bag over thier hoe ass emotions. If you don’t like what he has to say don’t listen. Put your energy into a culture that celebrates soft ass shit. And leave hip hop alone.
I posted a group of naked bitches fighting and ain’t none of y’all check on they mental health. LMAO Freddie is the MVP
