Before Freddie Gibbs became the celebrated MC he is today, he was signed to Jeezy’s label CTE World. However, their working relationship didn’t exactly end well. Upon Gibbs’ departure from the imprint in 2012, he claimed anything Jeezy said was “fake.”
During a recent interview with Bootleg Kev, Gibbs admitted he was self-conscious about his career when he was on CTE but has since adopted an entirely new attitude.
“I stopped giving a fuck who like my shit 10 years ago bro,” he said.”You know when I gave a fuck who liked my shit? When I was signed to Young Jeezy. I was like, ‘Damn man, I wonder if people like it.’ Cause he was always about that. Once I got rich, I stopped giving a fuck. All my people and my family around me are doing good, so I don’t really give a fuck about nothing else.”
But Jeezy is still motivation for Gibbs. As he explained, he has the Snowman in mind when he hits the studio.
“I look up to Young Jeezy,” he continued. “Come on bro, in 2010 I could have fucked with any rapper. Yo Gotti, Rick Ross. Anybody. I looked up to all those niggas, but I really looked up to Young Jeezy. So that said, all the music I made after that, is to prove niggas wrong. To prove I was where I was supposed to be. Every day, every time I go in the booth, every project I make, I’m trying to prove somebody wrong.”
As the conversation heated up, Gibbs became more passionate about his stance on his former business partner.
“I take the adversity and use it as fuckin’ fuel,” he said.”The fact I can do that puts me above a lot of niggas. I wasn’t supposed to make it. In 2006, Interscope dropped me … Jeezy is musically irrelevant. Let’s be real, dawg. Did you listen to his last album? No you fuckin’ didn’t. He’s a legend but right now, you’re irrelevant.”
He then directly spoke to Jeezy, saying, “I love you, but what you want to fight? You can’t fight me, out rap me. Any nigga that can’t out rap me or beat me up, I don’t give a fuck about.”

Following the success of the Madlib-produced masterpiece Bandana and his most recent project Alfredo with The Alchemist, Gibbs announced he’d inked a deal with Warner Music Group earlier this month. In a statement, he expressed how excited he was to work with Warner’s CEO and co-chairman Aaron Bay-Schuck.
“I’m really looking forward to partnering with Warner and working with Aaron,” Gibbs said. “He’s a young progressive label head I can openly share ideas with. It was love and respect from the first meeting and always felt right. We’re working together to take everything to another level for my day one fans as well as the people just now discovering me.”
Keep Jeezy’s name out cha mouth
And then what? Hide the rest of the sperm in mr17.5 mouth
Damn bro!! Lol
Stupid
Damn son! Even bigduke don’t say stupid shit like that! J prince for president! Or ja Rule! Fyre for life!
He ain’t lying.
well…Gibbs ain’t lying…Jeezy is a legend, but he went stale after 2011
Jeezy music is relevant because I listen a lot to the album he dropped this year, and I like it a lot.
Sick anecdotal evidence, bro! You fuckin solipsist. I bet you also believe the world disappears when you close your eyes. “This is good because I like it.” Holy shit, the US is filled with borderline retards.
I said his music is relevant if there is people (like me) that like his music, especially that much. Stfu with your ********
As long as there will be people like me to like Jeezy music that much, it will be relevant. Not caring about someone disliking it. And yeah the amount of likes of your comment proves the amount of retards, I guess.
Jeezy definitely whooping that man in a fight Gibbs a toothpick lol
Why you goofy clowns thinks that matters? I’ve seen skinny dudes beat the breaks off of bigger dudes. Also seen skinny dudes shoot the sh*t out of diesel dudes. Stop sucking Jeezy’s nuts. You ain’t never heard of him fighting but yet you spoke like he’s the champ. Smh! Lmao
NO! You’re irrelevant. What do you mean his last album was garbage? FAMMMMM. If you listen to what he was saying? A lot of people can relate to his music! Like you’re just a hater. Nobody likes your music, nobody even knows who you are. Let’s get really fucking real here!
All the real hiphop heads know who he is lol go listen to NBA Youngboy or something!!! Leave the grown man music for the Grown men puppy!!
Anybody who likes lyrical hip hop that isn’t trash KNOWS who Gibbs is. He is most rappers fave rapper. His last album was critically acclaimed and rated PERFECT on many different publications..ur showing ur wack ass taste. Jeezy has been awful for a decade. Plus he is a snitch.
Wtf, yeezy sell major records, is toghettrr wit Kim Kardashian! This guy is a fool!
Idiot
Went from dissing Rick Ross in multiple songs calling him fake and shit to putting him on his album.
What do you know about any of that Lily white girl?
Freddie Gibbs is one of the best rappers that nobody cares about… you could even say, perhaps, that he is irrelevant. 30,000 Gibbs first week to Jeezy’s 50,000 for his last full album suggests he is almost twice as relevant as Gibby dating back to last year. And bandana’s first week was 16000 so Jeezy sold more his first week than both of Gibbs last 2 combined. The twenty/20 pyrex didnt have any data but clearly flopped, but to say he is irrelevant is a joke.
Boi stawwwp!!! Chief Keef ft. Jeezy “Go Gettit” & Trouble ft Jeezy for currency.. Plus you cant be a part of HipHopHistory(music+) and become in any way irrelevant. Ho
Don’t really care about their drama. Bring the music. I can although agree with him though because it’s not that Jeezy is irrelevant, he’s just not as focused on the music anymore. Gibbs is a gangsta lyricist. A unique combo, Jeezy was gangsta And was pretty nice but couldn’t “rap his ass off”, in Jeezy’s own words, when referencing Gibbs.
Best in the game and possible GOAT
Gangsta Gibbs !!
I listened to Gibbs since before all his fame and frankly it’s getting to his head and making him have a big old fat head. Jeezy is doing whatever the heck he’s doing he doesn’t care about Gibbs but Freddie always talking about him. I love Gibbs but dude forget ish that happened in 06-2019 now u signed to a major label hopefully your music still dope. Peace
Freddy Who?
I didn’t even know who he was until Jeezy spoke of him. Get out of here with the fake drama!
We don’t believe you, u need more people
Of course you never heard of him if you never checked for new underground lyricists killing the game. Lyrically Jeezy can’t fuck with Gibbs Gibbs knows it, Jeezy knows it. Jeezy is pussy just like Gibbs said. Gucci Mane killed his best friend, and Rick Ross had him shook when they had their beef. You only going hard trying to defend Jeezy cuzz he used to be on BET and the radio. But you defending a fake nigga with no heart. I think you ladies refer to them as fuck boys ??♂️
U just made yourself sound dumb..Gibb’s last album was the highest Rated EVER by most publications..u obviously only listen to trash if u haven’t heard of Gangsta Gibbs.
Musically relevant, if we’re being technical, only applies to much younger “artists” with younger fanbases. Lil Uzi’s garbage is more relevant than both these niggas combined, so it’s odd Gibbs of all people would say that. He should’ve just called Jeezy trash, instead of beating around the bush…
Freddie hasn’t had one hit. Jeezy has plenty. All that madlib lyricism crap Freddie been holding onto is trash..
You are an idiot..there isn’t one skippable song on Pinata,Bandana, or Alfredo..nobody has listened to Jeezy in ten years. This comment makes u look out of touch 4real
This guys attitude is straight “pussy hurt”. I can’t wait to see karma pull his ass over lol
