Freddie Gibbs was a recent guest on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast where he made a surprising admission. During the conversation, the topic of the illegality of cocaine came up and why .45 caliber bullets exist.
Fellow guest comedian Brian Moses explained in the late 1800s or early 1900s when Black men were working the docks, their bosses would feed them cocaine to keep them up all night. During one particular shift, police were attempting to chase down a dock worker who’d been accused of rape but because he was high on cocaine, the bullets they were firing at him weren’t slowing him down. As a result, Moses said the .45 caliber bullet was invented.
But before Moses could finish his thought, Gibbs suddenly jumped in with, “You know this is some real shit because there was a crackhead back in the day. I shot the n-igga nine times with a TEC-9 and he kept running down the alley.” Rogan uttered a brief “hmm” before dissecting the difference between crack and cocaine.
Gibbs’ confession sparked a cascade of reactionary tweets. Some of the Indiana-bred MC’s fans thought it was hilarious with one writing, “Freddie Gibbs opening statement on the podcast with shooting a crackhead 9 times with a tec is the best opening ever.”
But others were wondering why he’d essentially snitch on himself. Comments such as, “Did he just snitch on his self in 4K” and “What was his point of telling him?” started rolling in. Someone also pointed out how nonchalantly Gibbs said it with, “Freddie Gibbs talking about shooting a crackhead 9 times like it’s a nerf gun fight with his friends.”

Gibbs is widely known for his sense of humor on social media, but it doesn’t appear he was joking about this. The 38-year-old is currently up for a Grammy Award in the Best Rap Album category for Alfredo, his collaborative album with The Alchemist.
He’ll face off against Nas’ King’s Disease, D Smoke’s Black Habits, Jay Electronica’s A Written Testimony and Royce Da 5’9’s The Allegory. The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards take place at the Los Angeles Staples Center on March 14.
I never understood the hype about Gibbs. Son of a police Officer getting involved in low level street moves. He insulted LL cool J. Gibbs moves scary man. Good luck. Instead of him – Wsg, Benny, Conway or Roc should haveen nominated for a Grammy. Shooting a crack addict? That’s weak. Admitting it and self snitching? Scary. Good luck Gibbs.
LL Cool J raps like a speak and spell
So I guess your mother is on some speak and spell shit then…OK no problem
Shut your dumb ass up you can’t read or write so fucking what
I never the understood the hype about talking down on Gibbs. By the way; being the son of a police officer don’t make you one. While I don’t think what he said on the podcast was a good move. There is also this thing called statute of limitations, and whether or not this can be proven in court. Also, who cares if he insulted LL Cool J.
Unpopular Opinion. I don’t mean to speak down on him. I just have this jumpy vibe around him. Cops make a great salary. It kind of makes him out to be a spoiled kid looking to get involved in the streets put of boredom not desperation/lack of choice. You seem to care more about Gibbs getting away with shooting an addict than shooting a crackhead being a weak act. Who cares about insulting LL? Hey you him can go ahead and diss LL. But neither of you have sold millions of records, hosted the Grammys and paved the way in rap. Gibbs comes across arrogant dissing LL. We all have different opinions I guess.
U ain’t sold a million records either
You think its “self snitching” what he said in the podcast, i just wonder, do you also think its self snitching when all these rappers say they did this and that in their songs? Wsg, benny and conway are OKish, but nowhere near the skill that gibbs has on the mic.
All your personal thoughts about Gibbs are opinions you’re entitled to. As for what “the big deal is about him?” He can rap his ass off. Better than 99% of the rappers rapping today. Period. And he brings it everytime he stands in front of a mic. That’s the big deal.
Stick to rapping. This site and the entire industry needs to stop glamorizing crimes and criminals. Especially to easily influenced children and adults
Isn’t his Daddy the Po Po? Sounds like cap. Guess he has nothing to talk about when Jeezy isn’t the subject
Well now we definitely know who shot 50 Cent
First 48 Freddie.
Enjoyed the shit out of this podcast, gibbs is a funny dude
