With Rick Ross’ Rather You Than Me set for release tomorrow (March 17), it’s confirmed that Rozay has taken shots at Birdman on the Chris Rock-assisted “Idols Become Rivals.”
Though the song’s audio hasn’t been officially released yet, the lyrics are up on Genius. Here are some of the bars many feel are directed at the Cash Money head.
“I used to see you niggas on my TV screen
And wondered what was life like, was it all a dream?
And then I met you out on LiveNation dates
Came to the realization that your watch was fake
Damn… you nearly broke my heart
I really thought you niggas really owned them cars”
“You stole them boys pub and bought a foreclosure
Scott Storch demons in it, which is more poison
I handed over records, never charged a coin
But consist the sentiment, I’m talkin’ all alone
All Miami issues, Rozay handle for him”
“I pray you find the kindness in your heart for Wayne
His entire life, he gave you what there was to gain
I watched this whole debacle so I’m part to blame
Last request, can all producers please get paid?”
Not only has Birdman made headlines for his beef with Lil Wayne, but he’s also been the target of several lawsuits from producers claiming they haven’t been properly compensated.
Last month, Ross spoke with Billboard about the song that possibly alluded to his ongoing drama with Cash Money head Birdman.
“I’ve got a record titled ‘Idols Become Rivals’ and it’s basically me writing a letter to someone in the game that I looked up to damn near the most and I hate what things have come to,” said Rozay.
Speaking with The Breakfast Club in 2015, Ross came to Lil Wayne’s defense following the New Orleans rapper’s issues with the label.
“Right now, really me just seeing what Wayne going through as an artist, me idolizing Birdman at a time, me looking up to Lil Wayne, Wayne being the first artist making to make so many feats not just as an artist but an artist coming through the South, that’s something I took personal,” he said. “For me to see the way things are transpiring, I can’t respect that, and I don’t respect that.”
Of course, that along with a Trick Daddy interview at The Breakfast Club didn’t sit well with Birdman. This lead to 2016’s infamous “Put some respek my name” and “All Tree of Yall” moment on the New York radio show. Renzel sent the show’s hosts cases of Belaire to show his solidarity after the incident.
Damn what’s going on with Cash Money,Ar they like broke or something? i mean fakes watches and rented cars? Can’t relies wayne album,Tyga left for the kardashains,were thuga thuga at? Were mack mayne at?
They broke,Thugga is prolly somwhere eating beans with rice
beans and rice??? you meant to penis and rice right? lol foh
No bro just the fact you use that word publicly is suspect as fk. Out of everyone, Thug needs more respect put-on his name.
mmmhmm. fake watch is worse than fake gangster. typical pig.
Clear shot at baby but he ain’t saying shit that we don’t know already.
For real trash money and baby fucked over alot of their artists first bg then juvie but then he went back and left again now weezy call Rick Ross what u want but he consistent with his music and besides baby and Wayne fake bloods most of these rappers are faking these days
“Last request, can all producers please get paid?” Haha, this line is everything.
“Came to the realization that your watch was fake
Damn… you nearly broke my heart”
Wanna talk fake look at your whole persona. SMH.
Another desperate publicity stunt for his weed plate that no one is checking for. this fat fraud needs to mind his own fucking business. Ross owes 6 million to the government, not Birdman… Birdman make more in 1 year than Ross does in 5. When Wayne and Birdman make up and YMCMB unites again Ross gonna look like a chump.
A birdman fan calling a Rick Ross album a weed plate?! Hahahaha what happened to that oil well or dolphins ownership deal from birdman?!
Ross got more lies than Birdman if you want to compare lists
What about when Baby and the rest of the industry came to the realization Rickys whole drug dealing past and persona was made up, did it break their hearts? They still kept fucking with him tho for whatever reason…and this is the thanks he gets? Birdman helped keep Ross alive with them Nicki, Drake, Weezy and Tyga features.
You fake Rick don’t forget baby made u what u re nw this is what he get
can someone open up the Scott Storch demons / poison bit for me, i don’t get it, what’s that about?
ok found it on Genius : “In 2012, Birdman purchased the Miami mansion of producer Scott Storch out of foreclosure after Storch lost it in a bankruptcy filing caused by his severe cocaine addiction. Ross claims that Birdman used his Cash Money artists’ publishing money to make the purchase.”
looks like Rozay ain’t puttin any kind of respeck on Baby name
Rick ross was desperate to stand next to birdman and wayne when it came out he was exposed lying about his Prison guard lifestyle. He owes his career to birdman, or 50 would have ended destroyed him as a fake poser ja rule style.
Wayne is a grown man. He chose to stick with Birdman when his contract was up despite seeing first hand how his daddy treated all the other artists and producers over the years. Instead of doing something to better his situation he became a junkie for like 6+ years… but now we’re supposed to feel sorry for him? Boss the fuck up like Drake did.
Why didn’t Ross defend Gunplay like this after he got his ass beat and his MMG chain took? Why didn’t he defend Meek Mills honor when Drake was ending his career. Clown shit from the biggest fraud in the industry.
Love how this man chooses to hit a punching bag rather then a moving Target, he’s literally Rapping to someone who isn’t capable of Rapping back and he knows it, first 3 songs on this album are decent but it takes a familiar turn after that (Same Old CB4 Tough Guy Raps)
It’s pure irony that he got Chris Rock (Albert) on there… especially after dissing him overs jokes Chris made about him. But now Ross cut the check and he got Chris Rock calling Rick Ross the best rapper of all time on the intro of a song that features NAS!!
I think Rick Ross really mad about Birdman did DJ Khaled more than anything when he was on Cash Money, they are real close
Pussy ass fraudster talking about a fake watch when he’s the’s the the epitome of being being a fake. Oh and we haven’t forgettenforgetten about those fake LV shades Officer Ricky got caught wearing on a magazine cover. Even Louis Vuitton had to step in and say them shuts was fake!
Lol, Ross gotta resort to dissing somebody to try to bring his sales back up. Nobody listens to Birdman like that, so no one’s gonna care about this diss track. Nice try, Rozay, not gonna work.
You may not like Ross but his disses are usually genuine unlike most rappers, He doesn’t diss to sell he knows he want sell a lot of records anyway he never has. But wayne put himself in this situation he had one album to go before he was a free agent he starts running off before the album is release not he is stuck, he should have done what he needed to get that album out.
Birdman has the habit of not paying his people. So even if Weezy dropped his last album before free agency, so he wouldn’t get paid anyway. So Wayne probably said let’s rather freeze anything than getting ripped off again.
I feel.
Rick ross the fate on is joke talk about your fake ass big boy teal g do real things get off wanye dick
Ross is on some groupie shit for real.. he’s coming off as very desperate for some album publicity. He didn’t even go at 50 as hard as he doing Birdman even after all that disrespect as a man involving his kids, baby moms and even his artist Gunplay… Ross never spit no rhymes about Gunplay’s beat down and MMG chain robbery or Meek Mill getting his career ended by a singing Canadian mulatto.. I guess in a way Ross oweses his career to Lil Wayne along with Jay-Z, Diddy, Drake and Birdman.
Rick false bought holyfield house outout of foreclosure and his lv glasses as fake his whole life fake
Rick Ross is “realer” than most of ur favorite rappers out there. His cars/homes/cases are real. While ur favorite rappers have ghost writers, stolen clothes from video shoots, fake ass, labels with no one signed to them, leased cars and homes and talking bout shit from 15 years ago.
Rumors?? Doesnt he say Birdman in the lyrics?? How was that unclear that he was talkin about Birdman?
true he even mentions dude by name (Stunna) more than once on the track, even ends it with it
OFFICER RICKY AKA PIG ROSS IS DA WORLDS MOST FAMOUS PRISON POLICE THAT COP IS REALLY GOOD HE CAN ACTED HE GETS DA BIGGEST FRAUD IN HIP HOP HISTORY ?
And Officer Ricky is a bitch ass fake gangster for letting his day 1 homie get beat up and robbed of his MMG Chain over a beef Ross started and he did nothing about it… not even a diss line in a song.. That’s how you no he a fraud with no heart or spine
Do you even realize how idiotic you sound like? “Jiggie G, 1-3 Washtenaw”… I just couldn’t help myself but laugh out loud. Are you still in elementary school? I bet you are, gangster. 😀
