Freddie Gibbs has thrown some shade at Drake after he issued a cryptic warning that his “next chapter” will unsettle his critics.
In a lengthy Instagram message on Monday (March 10) accompanied by various photos, including a screenshot from the Daniel Day-Lewis film Phantom Thread, Drizzy appeared to address his various adversaries.

He wrote: “U know I grew up non confrontational and always treated this game as a sport where my pen won gold, but my these days the podium has been hard for all of us to ignore.
“I understand that this next chapter may leave you feeling uneasy, but I hope you see my honesty as clarity not charity that answers some questions especially about the unanswered texts you’ve been sending me.”
Gibbs was less than impressed with the 6 God’s defiant statement, reposting it on his burner Instagram account, @youonlydie0nce, and adding several yawning emojis.
The Gary, Indiana native recently accused Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR of stealing from him with their collaborative album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U.
The dollar sign-laced title of the project bears a resemblance to that of Gibbs’ 2022 album $oul $old $eparately.

Drizzy and PND’s joint LP additionally features cartoon bunnies on its back cover, similar to the “Big Rabbit” mascot that Gibbs has adopted for years.
“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 last month.
Gangsta Gibbs also retweeted several posts from fans calling out the OVO Sound duo for allegedly stealing from him, making sure his point was felt.
Despite their apparent issues, the two rappers were reportedly supposed to work together on a song for $oul $old $eparately.

“Little known story Drake met @FreddieGibbs when he was working on $$$. Even had talks of hopping on the album!” Bootleg Kev revealed on social media after Gibbs aired his aforementioned grievances.
“He’s very hip and aware of the wave! I took the only pic of Freddie and Drake that exists too! Some light biting happening for sure.”

The veteran DJ and radio personality then shared said photo of Gibbs and Drizzy and wrote: “Myself, @FreddieGibbs and Drake sat at a bar in West Hollywood (Harriet’s) for over an hour talking basketball, hip hop etc. Gibbs my witness Drake was arguing with me about why I thought he didn’t have a classic album. Same convo where Drake and I made a bet about my Phoenix Suns.
“During that convo Fred and Drake talked about his hopping on something for $$$. Freddie sent him a record Pharrell produced that never made the album but Drake had intended to get on it or something. Never came to fruition but Drake is a fan on Freddie, As any hip hop head would be!”
