T.I. had some words for all the commotion surrounding Diddy, Dr. Dre, Jermaine Dupri and Verzuz. Diddy has made it loud and clear that he’ll only take on Dr. Dre if he were to ever hit the Verzuz stage, even though fans have been clamoring for him to take on Jermaine Dupri.
During Fat Joe and Ja Rule’s showdown at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night (September 14), Diddy reiterated in the Instagram Live comments section he would only take on the legendary producer while saying Jermaine Dupri couldn’t “box with God.”
T.I. was among the viewers who weren’t too happy with Diddy remaining firm on his decision. The Hustle Gang honcho compared the situation to the proposed showdown he was trying to organize between himself and 50 Cent. T.I. chimed in the comments section after Diddy and asked why New York rappers feel they’re above Atlanta.
“I disagree,” T.I. wrote. “Side note: Why do I feel NY n*ggaz (Most of which I love,look up to, appreciate and respect)always feel like they so much above competition with their Atlanta (southern)constituents???? @50Cent ducking me the same way (@jermainedupri).”
T.I. later went on social media with a nine-minute video discussing his stance on the whole fiasco. The Atlanta legend stood by his city and claimed, “Ain’t no sleeping on Atlanta, ain’t none of that.”
Last year, T.I. took to social media to challenge 50 Cent to a Verzuz battle. 50 Cent swiftly replied to the challenge by comparing T.I. to Chris Tucker’s Smokey character from Friday.
Any Rapper Challenging 50 Cent In Verzuz May Be SOL
Earlier this year, 50 Cent played down chances of him battling anyone in Verzuz.
“A Verzuz battle?” he pondered at the premiere of his Starz series Power Book III: Raising Kanan in NYC. “Probably not! We back outside. That was something that happened during the pandemic when we was stuck in the house. Now that we back outside, there’s other things to do. We supposed to be creating new history, not being back there.”
Yeah Puffy trippin. Some of these dudes just scared of the competition and potentially being ate up. Jermaine Dupri is his natural matchup. They both do hip-hop and r&b, both at least try to be artists, Puffy got the edge on the hip-hop, but Jermaine got the edge on the R&B. And they were at their peaks at the same time. Puffy can’t stand next to Dre. He can go all the way back to NWA, D.O.C., Michelle, and still go to Snoop, Dogg Pound, and bring it forward to Eminem, 50 Cent, Anderson Paak, etc. Puffy need to stay in his lane and see JD. He just don’t want to admit that JD can fuck with him and possibly fuck him over and he don’t want the world to see it.
Dre even got K.Dot, Pac, Busta anf Game.
Diddy has Biggie, Jodeci and Mary J Blige, period point blank. Stop it!
Mase, Shyne, Faith Evans, Total….
Which rapper from either is better than Biggie?
What singer from either is better than Mary?
Which group is better than Jodeci?
Man y’all need to do some homework
False. JD can’t compete with Diddy.
How can you say JD has the R&B edge? Diddy havs Mary J Blige. There’s NOBODY on JD’s roster to compete, period.He can literally play the MyLife album and sit bag.
The edge in rap? LOL man he has Biggie! Not even going to bring up Mase or Shyne or Black Rob
And Diddy as an artist is better as well.
Homework is needed sir.
Fuck off already T.I. dude acting like he a respected old time O.G man please get the hell on and stfu
Why wouldn’t he be respected? He one of the originators of trap music. Started a whole genre
Because he lame dog
Hit men produced a lot of Bad Boy classics, with Puffs name taking ownership. Strip those records, if he even dared, and yes, JD can take him out. Foh. Do the history douchballs
Puff done produced MARY’S, JODECI’S, BIG’s, THE LOX’s, LIL KIM’s, RICK ROSS’, AND MASE’ Albums!!!!! FOH is Right!!!!
