Vic Mensa knows he doesn’t have problems with anyone because he prides himself on treating everyone around him with respect.
“I don’t do my people dirty,” he says to Real 92.3. “I just don’t do it. So if somebody was wanting to beef with me, they wouldn’t really have all that much ammo. They would have to start digging and making things up ’cause I just keep it really really really real with my guys and people that I move with, that I do business with. They’ll testify I’m a hunnid.”
This question comes after the Savemoney rapper sent the Internet into a frenzy when he posted a picture of himself, Jay Z and Beyonce, with blurred Chance the Rapper out of the photo. Although he doesn’t mention his fellow Chicagoan by name, Mensa makes it clear that he doesn’t have beef with anybody.
“I’m not worried about nobody at all,” he says. “Niggas don’t want that type of problem with me.”

Fresh off his There’s Alot Going On EP, Mensa says that he still believes in healthy rap competition. Even though his ultimate goal is to speak truth through his music, he says the means to that end is to bring himself to the top of the rap game.
“Do I think that I’m better than everybody rapping? Yes,” he continues. “And not just on some every rapper gotta think they’re the best. I really just don’t think a lot of these rappers are very good. A vast majority of them are not very good. You got a small handful of people that are good and I know most of ’em and respect all of ’em, but like I said, that’s a handful. Do I plan on coming at all of ’em? Not just I’ma diss niggas, but yeah. I’m coming for that spot for sure.”
Mensa says that as he’s worked with Kanye West and Jay Z, he’s learned how to pay attention to detail and refine his sound. The 23-year-old signed with Roc Nation last year. He will take the lessons he’s learned from these icons and continue to bring his heart and talent on his upcoming album, Traffic.
