Royce Da 5’9 Doubles Down On Yelawolf Beef, Calls Him ‘David Duke’

    Yelawolf evidently caught the blatant diss on Royce Da 5’9’s recent single “Overcomer” featuring Westside Gunn and decided to fire back at the Slaughterhouse vet via Instagram.

    In a since-deleted post, the Alabama native shared a photo of some slick red boots with the caption, “YOU AND ME video dropping soon from the sold out Fillmore in Detroit .. but numbers do lie don’t they @royceda59. yo @eminem get your hype man before the wolves do … I ain’t worried.”

    Royce, who had already screenshot the post, reposted it to his own Instagram account and issued a threat.

    “I can remove you quicker than you Deleted this post, David Duke and nobody can stop me,” he wrote. “See, you want it to be one way… But it’s the other way.”

    “Overcomer” arrived on Thursday (January 16), just before Eminem dropped the surprise album Music To Be Murdered By and all hell broke loose. In one of his verses, Royce calls out Yelawolf by name and makes it abundantly clear he has beef with the Slumerican rapper.

    “Yelawolf this is your first and your last pass,” he raps. “I ain’t gon’ put it on blast, your punk ass know what this about/You think it’s ’bout being loud or tryna be hostile/Till you get found face down on the ground outside of Kid Rock house/Though you a vulture pundit, I hope you get sober from this/Men lie, women lie, so do numbers.”

    Listen to the track below.

    1. sad to see two of my favourite artists beefing……bet it’s over something so petty too. Always thought they’d make great songs together

    2. I’m guessing Yelawolf sides with Kid Rock on some shit, or had his back in some way, and that made Royce call him a racist. I’m sure it’s something petty and stupid like that. Kid Rock did a lot for Hip-Hop and Detroit. He is a red neck. Point blank. Yes he supports Trump. I don’t like his music, or the Donald, it doesn’t mean I’m going to consider every Trump supporter a racist by proxy. All this does is guarantee his second term. I’m almost certain this has something to do with Yella and Kid Rock. Kid Tock is an O.G. Of Detroit, like Trick Trick. This whole beef is strange… Also, not quite sure who would win in this battle. I think Royce is the better rapper, but he sounds too much like Em and all of his best tracks have features. This isn’t good for anyone or Hip-Hop IMO. Yella has been acting like a diva recently. They need to just tell the world what’s up.

    3. Royce and Eminem have some of the wackest battle resumes In hip hop;?Yelawolf, lord jamar, benzino, cannibis, ICP, MGK, etc. If you looked at these resumes, you would never think they were top tier. Compared to someone like Jay Z who has on his resume: Nas, Drake, 50, 2pac, Kanye, etc. The comp is completely different.

      1. Only Jay Z only openly battled Nas. Most people consider Nas to be the victor, hence “ethered” being a term for being destroyed in a rap battle. Al other Jay-Z disses were subliminal. He didn’t battle or win anything. Maybe brush up on your Hip-hop before hitting a Hip-Hop site with BS.

      2. U forgot that Royce buried Em and D12 back in the day, but agreed, Em and Royce both avoid real competition. Em’s most legit W imo was against Cage who’s style he bit in the process.

      3. He subbed all of them, and Nas killed Jay, so his resume isn’t really it. Plus 2pac would’ve murdered Jay had they really beefed. Also, Drake… Really? Drake is a threat? Not even his ghostwriters are nice like that. I love Jay and for sure place him in my top 10, but his resume isn’t too tier either.

      4. Real rappers either know better to not mess with Royce or Em on that level or they simply respect them. Royce and Em diss rappers who don’t deserve respect. Hence why there’s a whole list of garbage rappers that they have had some type of feud with. It’s that simple.

      5. Ok first off Nas bodied Jay-z and and Eminem is Hands down Top 5 lyricist ever. It don’t matter who,he battled look at the lyrics Eminem used not who he battled.

        1. This is what’s wrong with hip hop. Jay never got bodied in that battle but let’s say he lost for argument sake. HE BATTLED NAS DUMMY!!! Em had a debatable with MGK lol. And the rap olympics is just no. There was no meaningful long term rappers in that competition. They were all amateur. I think he means look at the people Em and Royce choose to respond to. If someone like MGK or Benzino would have went at Jay or Nas, no way they are responding.

      6. If you honestly think Drake or Kanye can out rap Royce or Canibus then you have severe brain damage… Go buy some Yeezys and STFU… You define everything wrong with the human race.

        ALSO NAS BETTER THSN GAYZ ;D & PUSH KILLED DRAKE FUX OUTTA HERE

        RIP YELAWOLF

      7. Are you stupid ? 97 second place the guy has battled so many official battle rappers. This is main stream and most of what em does is pure entertainment but take a look around the world knows no body is really a better mc than Eminem and I’m not saying that Eminem is better than everyone but honestly no one is better than him point blank check longevity it’s just obvious why do I even talk lol

      1. I know you try to look cool with dis comment but you aint. You are on the internet, if you really wanted to know who wolf is you could google his name.

      1. Ehhhh IDK Royce 100% does metaphors better but Yela is probably the most versatile rapper out there. He pulled off country rap, club rap, chopping along side Tech N9ne and did some G ish too. Royce is all in on straight lyricism. I think theyre both awesome but its not as one sided as many think especially after ive seen a bunch of yelas freestyles.

        1. Yea wolf can rap but it’s a pit bull VS a tiger royce would body any Mc out there I can’t think of anyone going track for track with him. Even eminem in prime days didn’t wanna fuck with royce when he was alcoholic his diss to d-12 Malcolm X was one the slept on ever and that was really a couple jabs he a fucking animal. CAN’T wait to hear his new tracks wit Griselda

    4. Has Yela ever released a diss track? I’d prefer for this beef not to get too heated, but if that ship sails I would love to hear him diss Royce. And yeah, this has to be over Yela not being enough of liberal for the Shady SJWs. Back in 2010 when slaughterhouse and Yela first signed with shady, there wasn’t much of a culture war going on, so if he was a Republican they wouldn’t have cared much, but let him be a Trump supporter in 2020, and they buy into the hysteria. I kinda figured something was up when Em made zero contributions to either of years Yelawolf’s last two albums for Interscope.

      1. Go learn your history. This has to do with him rocking the Dixie flag and pretending like it’s cool tryna eat of rap’s plate but supporting some racist shit. Not everything has to do with Trump, but he’s clearly ingrained that shit in you middle american bozos

        1. Go learn your history. He stopped using that flag, and denounced that shit like 5 years ago. He and Royce collabed since then. Go listen to “To Whom It May Concern”

      2. Actually em helped yelawolf a lot production wise on his last two albums yelawolf was thanking em and he left on good terms this is between Royce and yela about a race issue Royce talked about it on buffers podcast

        1. That`s funny, because yelawolfs albums on shady wasn`t half as good as what he released without the involvement of eminem..

      1. Aiiii dude who pretends to listen to rap cos he Hopes people would think he is cool. Go listen to Taylor Swift or whatever it is you suckas do

    5. Hey my name is roger the cuckold bitch barber i need some big black man to please my wife in exchange i can give you the cleanest fade That ever graced your head please send penis size to (412)6096358

    6. Yelawolf is getting a wake up call. These people will never truly accept you. White people are only allowed in “black music” if they do and say exactly what they are told. The n word is part of rap culture,but let a white person say it even in a non derogatory manner and you will see how fast you aren’t truly part of the culture you think you are. I’m a fan of yelawolf but I hope Royce beats the brakes off him. Wake up white people black people hate their own if they don’t act a certain way (uncle tom cough cough) so they damn sure don’t love you if you arnt toeing the line

      1. The N word is NOT Hip Hop.. this is the biggest misconception amongst all of you fucks. Hip hop does nothing but invent and kill off slang. N word existed waay before hip hop and it will never be killed off by hip hop. Just because blacks use it as a crutch in their lyrics dont mean its a hip hop term

    7. So where did this beef come from and yelawolf cant be that “racist” as yall like to call all white people seeing that his kids are half black smh
      So annoying every time there is a black man and white man fighting first thing everyone wants to assume is it has to do with race sh@t getting okd fast they could have easly not seen eye to eye on something……… so lets Get to FACTS both are rap assassins but bar for bar royce would kill
      Yela wasnt wrong royce was ems hype man and all this white people being culture vulture for doing rap is so ignorant what about chuck berry or jimi hendrix they were african Americans who were a huge influence in rock and roll which is considered “white” music but are they bashed or called Culture vultures nah because that genre of music dont care what color you are the only genre that cares about color of your skin is hiphop those who are so quick to pull the race card are those who are afraid of where they stand in life

      1. ??? Just a lil FYI Chuck Berry didn’t just influence R&R he was one of the originators! And only people who don’t know the history of it consider rock “White music”

      2. Rock and roll is definitely black music. It was just co-opted by white people. Black singers like Screamin’ Jay Hawkins (I’ll put a spell on you), Little Richard, and Chuck Berry (who you mentioned) are the architects of rock and roll. The greatest white rock artists (Stone’s, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin) will tell you their 1st influences were these artists and….wait for it….the Blues. Which is the the precursor to rock n roll, and without a doubt black music

        1. Bunch of ignorant fucks all everyone want to do is white this black that its fucking music who cares who started it we all get to enjoy it. I guess black man made peanut butter so I can’t eat that without permission either get the fuck outta here and white man made basketball ball so blacks are culture vultures none of that makes any sense all yall preach hate to ride the dick of man beside you and that’s fuck u to black and white dumb ass racist sissies. Get over it u didn’t invent shit personally

          1. If nobody cared who started this shit..WHY IS THERE SO MUCH APPROPRIATION throughout history then? Shut the fuck up and have 1000 seats please

            1. Yes. Appropriation. You’re on the internet. You’re using a CPU or a smart phone. Those use electricity. All invented by white people. You should STOP. LOL. See how that works? Let me guess, you’re wearing tennis shoes? Fucking moron. Shut your ignorant, racist, hypocrite ass up. Think before typing, with your double digit IQ.

        2. Yelawolf has shown this respect his entire career. Literally from Day 1 interviews, he has been saying that Rock and Country are Blues. His grandmother was listening to Howlin’ Wolf. And then of course when it comes to Hip Hop, he says “Black-American culture is in the thread of my veins” .. It’s unfortunate that someone in his camp has put him in this situation .. I guess he’s also an easy target being a white rapper from Alabama who has had a history with the rebel flag, but his respect for Hip Hop can never be questioned .. He drove through the Bronx with Kool Herc in one of his first major label music videos ..

        3. I agree 100% but either way my point is hiphop is the only genre that is worried about skin color and who is and isnt allowed instead of progressing forward as humans to better ourselves for our children we instead hang on to shit from the past two

    8. Aww little black supremacist trying to call out an imaginary white supremacist how cute wish my IQ was as low as 75

    9. In the last year I really thought Royce had matured, he’s sober, he’s producing instead of just writing. But he’s not a kid anymore, there’s nothing to be gained with naming names but telling Yela he gets a pass on something apparently so egregious it warranted bars from a single, which has a video that happens to drop the same day as a surprise Em album (unrelated but strange timing). He brought up a beef this past year on Shade 45 with Kid Rock for running his mouth, and said ain’t no beef, just stating what it is, end of story. Fine. No problem. But Yela was a label mate. You don’t have his phone number? You don’t know how to let a man know what you think directly? If there’s an offense that needs to be laid out on wax than that’s something you don’t get a pass for if the beef is genuine. If this is about a confederate flag, Yela doesn’t rock it anymore, he understands where Krit was coming from. If it’s related to his relationship with Kid Rock, speak to the man. If your not gonna air out the issue on wax completely, I’m not interested in a jab for the world to hear that your giving a pass on. Grow up Royce. Still looking forward to the album. Yela ain’t no slouch, whether you rock with him or not, his output since Radioactive is phenominal and he’s doing just fine with his label.

    10. Dude be really trying to prove his blackness since Lord Jamar called it into question and basically called him Marshalls boy.

      Seems like kinda fragile mentality to me.

      1. You guys take irreverent ppl opinions as gospel yet where is yours out here promoting other ppls assholes like you guys don’t take shits pitiful

    11. So on one side we have a guy trying to overcompensate for his blackness and on the other side we have a soy bot beta cuck that hates himself because hes white. I dont understand what the beef is about.

    12. Royce clout chasing I see…. Don’t get mad at the white boy because he’s grown faster than you ever grew cuz you won’t be nothing without the other white boy but blonde hair

        1. Hahahahaha. You love white people culture too, racist hypocrite moron. I guess you don’t use the internet, electricity, a phone or smart phone, a computer, a car, antibiotics, a watch, tennis shoes, baseball hats. How about basketball, baseball, football? LOL. Just stop. Your ignorance is embarrassing. We all use each other inventions and culture. Dummy.

        2. What culture? Nothing in Hip Hop is original, rap is just a less advanced form of poetry, dance and painting are both part of all cultures, and so is DJing.

          Absolutely nothing in Hip Hop is original, nothing.

      1. Yet somehow Royce has been higher on the charts that Yela. Wasn’t Yela signed to Shady as a solo artist, while Royce is indie?

    13. gET Away track 1 off yelwaolfs first album radioactive was incredible. after I heard that, I cant diss. dude can rap his ass off. so can Royce. I wonder wut all dis about. fuck it and these mans both look stupid with their tats.

    14. Royce is just tryna stay relevant. Ever since Lamar called him out he’s went full racist. He better watch out. Wind up being left out in the cold by shady again.

    15. How about u white boys on here responding go get an all-white rap site. No black dudes fucks with no bitch ass Yelawolf. Argue all u want u wannabe-black-bitches-until-it’s-time-to-be-black-bitches.

      1. Here we go with another white people cant comment on hip hop jackass. You’re on the internet. You can’t do that. It was invented by a white man. You’re using a smart phone or a CPU, both invented by white people. Stop. They run on electricity. White guy. See how your stupid ass racism works both ways? You’re a hypocrite idiot, and are part of the reason we have Trump as president. Re think your life jackass. Content of character not color of skin. Have you heard that one?

          1. Hahahahaha. All invented by white people jackass. Look it up you uneducated idiot. Hahahahahaha. He said dumb MF. Hahahaha. I’m guessing you can’t spell GED, let alone get one.

            1. U sound mad racist son! There’s been plenty of black inventors who’ve never gotten their credit. FACTS. Off-topic af btw, nobody gives a flying fuck about ur insecure “I need to defend my white ass” ass anyway.

              STOP BEING SO GODDAMN SENSITIVE AND THAT GOES FOR ALL SKIN COLORS!

            2. Yeah, only I’m not white (Latino), and I was making a point. Dude was saying that white people have no place in Hip-Hop. YOU sound mad sensitive. LOL. Just trying to shut a racist up, of course some moron has to chime in about not chiming I’m on shit. LOL. Never mind me being right.

            3. My comment was actually meant for that racist “Think before typing?” fool. At least the first part, LOL

          2. The history of the Internet has its origin in the efforts of wide area networking that originated in several computer science laboratories in the United States, United Kingdom, and France. The U.S. Department of Defense awarded contracts as early as the 1960s, including for the development of the ARPANET project, directed by Robert Taylor and managed by Lawrence Roberts. The first message was sent over the ARPANET in 1969 from computer science Professor Leonard Kleinrock’s laboratory at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to the second network node at Stanford Research Institute (SRI).

          3. Who invented the Smartphone? No one, specific person has been credited with the invention of the Smartphone. The inventors of the Smartphone were the team of talented men and women who developed the product working for the IBM (International Business Machines Corporation). The Smartphone was invented in 1992, during the Technology and Information Age of inventions. The invention of the Smartphone originated in America and is considered a foremost achievement, and a highly important advancement, to the field of Communications and Information. WHAT COUNTRY IS IBM FROM??

          4. We could argue that the first computer was the abacus or its descendant, the slide rule, invented by William Oughtred in 1622. But the first computer resembling today’s modern machines was the Analytical Engine, a device conceived and designed by British mathematician Charles Babbage between 1833 and 1871.

          5. Are you wearing tennis shoes? Guess who invented those. A baseball hat? Nike, vans, converse… you’re an ignorant racist moron. Hahahahaha. Dumbass. Use your own rhetoric. Stop appropriating people’s culture. LOL

      2. Fact of the matter is u ain’t speaking for all black ppl, so GTFOH w/ ur “No black dudes fucks with no bitch ass Yelawolf” BS! There’s more blacks listenin’ to Yela than to Em. Even legends like 3-6 Mafia’s DJ Paul is fuckin’ with Yela heavy. Bet u half-black too. Sensitive redbone b!tch.

    16. Yelawolf is a bitch. These are the facts. He was some unknown country rapper, Eminem made him known. Yet he had no loyalty to Eminem. Eminem disses MGK, Yelawolf goes and befriends him, does a song with him. Disrespectful piece of trash.

      1. Bullshit. Eminem knew pop the trunk better than Yelawolf did and went and picked him up and was already getting a big buzz before that. Royce is just a glorified hype man. Eminem is less black than he used to be ….I love all these guys since day one. Like I’m a huge fan…dudes are all on Interscope including mgk…all this is retarded beef…did anyone learn from Pac and Big? But even Eminem mentioned Diddy killed PAC and wasn’t even there…these dudes should just shut up and put out music…it’s all hype that will just result in sales for everyone

      2. @YourDad Yelwolf made the song with MGK before the MGK & Eminem beef…Yelawolf showed his loyalty & dissed MGK on Bloody Sunday (freestyle) immediately after the beef started…..go do some home work or simply listen to The Bloody Sunday freestyle by Yelawolf before you write some deeply misinformed sh*t & pass judgement….I’m 200% positive when you do your whole outlook on Yela will change as far as it comes to his loyalty towards Eminem …….it’s not your fault if your comment is solely based on ignorance because your comment is the perfect example of ignorance at it’s finest

      1. Dude, pro white or pro black anything is ridiculous. Just stop. Either we are equals or we aren’t. Not being equals benefitted one side WAY more than another. Remember? Change your thoughts and your life will follow.

    17. I’m white and reading the comments by these other white people make me more ashamed to be white than Donald Trump

      1. Stop. There’s NO need to apologize for being ANY color or race. There’s NO need to vilify a race just because a few of them are idiots. Here’s the irony: In your effort to blend in with woke “progressives” who push cancel culture, YOU’RE ACTUALLY BEING RACIST (discriminating against a person due to the color of their skin). You’re ashamed to be white because some comments are offensive – but you don’t even know if the comments were posted by white people! Trolls are everywhere – from website comments to filthy rich globalists. EVERY TROLL is desperate for attention; they need you to be emotionally triggered and they need you to develop rage/hatred for a desired “opponent.” Don’t feed the trolls. EVER. All this segregation and division is exactly what people of all races need to fight AGAINST. You’re not helping anything or anyone if you’re lulled into this “us against them” mentality. It’s DANGEROUS to the powers-that-be if we the PEOPLE ARE UNITED. If they can keep us divided and hating each other, however, they’ve got us exactly where they want us…we’ll fall for just about anything and they KNOW IT. People need to wake up; we’re all in this together and our world would be a better place if we forced our government to WORK FOR US instead of working against us.

    18. Its clear these two do not fuck with each other….I never know Royce to jump off the porch for no reason….. I’m just saying..

    19. People wondering what it’s about. Listen to some of Yellow’s interviews. He’s annoyoing as fuck in those, so imagine how his energy is in person. He’s one of those abrasive for no reason at all people and probably gets worse when he’s high or drunk with ignorant racist tendencies trying to walk with that energy through a black dominated genre. Royce is that dude to pull his cord if he wants it. He probably ought to get the number out and shoot him a text or some shit and say my bad so he doesn’t get murked on the mike because that definitely will happen if this goes any further.

      1. Bro Yela is from
        The South its a whole different mentality he’s southern and from the Country. People are completely different then some Detroit mid west city. Yela aint racist at all he has 3 mixed children half black and white, he is a in the 3 6 Mafia family! And has ties with alot of Southern artist from TX specifically Houston and Dallas

    20. Why is hip hop the only music genre where people don’t shut up and it’s me me me and they slander eachother on record? I don’t hear rush dissing the hip, or Ozzy trashing led Zeppelin…why are rappers so stupid…too much money and a chip on their shoulder…and I’m a true hip hop fan here…beefs can be done respectful, but now with social media it’s just fucking stupid…dudes don’t shut up now

      1. Because hip-hop is rooted in competition, with all its elements. Djing, rapping, dancing, graffiti. It was used to settle a lot of disputes in the streets. It’s more than a music genre. Battling goes back to its beginnings. If you were a “true hip-hop hed” you would know that.

      2. rappers nowadays are bitch ass niggas, times when krs was throwing people out of the stage or when nas was recording ether are done, now rappers are firing from the instgram, fb or twitter thats a fact or like shady sending lawyers do Nick Canon.

    21. So far both have made dubious statements given what we know. Yella is David Duke now? Labeling a white guy like that requires a damn good reason, he gave none and that’s not even cool. Royce being called a hype man is simply not factual, he’s one of the best lyricists in the world and now a producer on likely the biggest rap track of the year and it’s dope af. Ridiculous. 1) Royce speak up and let us decide for ourselves, if you caught him being racist put it on blast and I’m with you. 2) Yella, when you go at someone use the truth, especially don’t lie about shit we already know. Correct this shit ya’ll.

    22. At least Yelawolf is a little bit original and actually has a bunch of good songs. Royce is irrelevant. I think that’s why he made a team with 3 other irrelevant rappers. Dime-a-dozen flows, lame image, wack beats, that’s what Slaughterhouse is. And without Eminem all the 5 rappers would work as streetsweepers.

        1. White dude reporting… if you think Royce and the house aren’t dope af, you’re out of your mind. Even though I’m not wild about Budden as a person, even that dude can rip it up.

    23. I read weeks ago on youtube comments from someone who seems to be an insider that yelawolf made a racist remark next to kid vishis ,back then there wasnt even clear beef in the air and when i relayed the message here when people asked why eminem and yela seem distant i was told yela cant be racist cause he has a black gf or something, lets see if that is infact the origin

      1. Man I remember reading that on here from you and thought it was BS. Then on the Joe Budden podcast when he and Royce talked about it, I thought of that shit. Good call.

        1. Damn im not even aware of that, I watched a few segments of royce on the podcast but dont remember it coming up, can you give me keywords or something of what to search for that part?

    24. Who listens to Yelawolf ? lol ?????
      That redneck, cousin loving hill-billy been hot garbage truck juice when he started rapping! This isn’t anything worth discussing.

      1. A lot of of your favorite rappers do. Listen to those freestyles before trunk muzik 3, pretty fire. Not saying he’s not in the wrong here and will pay for it, but a lot of his songs are crazy good but you probably haven’t listened so you don’t know.

    25. Royce is not or ever been on the level to win this. Stop acting like a female and take what u got coming should of not even come with that trash we would of heard a better diss from a small child. Yela is so much more skilled so just cry now because u will listen now. Get em yela

    26. So I never heard of kid Lil Pump he sound like Native American but so I’m 8 years older than him I’m 29 years old from Canada cause I’m 4 years older than Eminem’s Daughter Hailie then Eminem used dating with my mom I was kid they dating twice he remember me now he ask me out. So I’m his fan 20+ years and I didn’t say I’m his stan. My real name is Nicole Goldie Aka CraztiaBoo. BYE FOR NOW, XO
