By: Houston Williams Updated Category: Rumors

I am not sure why there has Blue not been some legal intervention with Blueface and Chrisean! I think we have jumped into a new realm! When will there be charges against one of them? They have done just about everything to each other YOU CAN DO! There have been physical assaults, verbal and emotional attacks. And just when you think you have seen it all, it goes to the next level down. Blueface publicly said that he is going to “go at” Chrisean until she has an abortion! WHAT?

This is so batsh#t crazy, I do not know how to proceed. But let me try. First of all, I thought they broke up. Secondly, I thought he said the baby was not his. If it IS his baby, well he wants to kill it? Doesn’t this mean he’s got more stuff to stay relevant with? He’s basically trying to NOT have a baby with the former love of his life. I cannot call it. Look at this:

After the “abortion” comment, he switched gears and started talking about “bleeding the truth with receipts.” I am sorry, but I do not know what that means. I assume he says he has some irrefutable facts against her that he could present to the public. Unfortunately, he’s talking about bullying a woman into having an abortion. I do not think what he’s got matters at this point. He then says he “let her be the breadwinner,” but how? She does not have a hit record or anything like that. She is clearly a social media influencer and “star.” How she’s going to make $250k or $20k per month is beyond me.

Maybe he is mad, because she is pregnant. She cannot do the same as one with child as a slave to the almighty pimp.

I am waiting for somebody to press charges. Unless this is all fake and for their TV show. I am thinking we are being played at this point.

Lil Nas X Reacts To Being Compared To Alleged Human Trafficker Andrew Tate

Montero “Lil Nas X” Hill continues to have to deal with online critics and trolls. After the openly gay rapper recently faced the wrath of some members of the LGBTQ community, fans of Andrew Tate have now taken aim at LNX.

The POSTMATRIX Podcast host David Morgan shared a screenshot of Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” music video on Twitter. Morgan also uploaded an image of the so-called “King of Toxic Masculinity” Andrew Tate.

“On the left, we have ‘Lil Nas X’ twerking on Satan. On the right, we have Andrew Tate, who teaches young people to think critically, to take care of their physical health, and build financial security. Guess which one is deemed controversial and which is hailed as a role model,” tweeted David Morgan on Monday.

Lil Nas X then responded to Morgan by writing, “1. That is a CGI animated being not satan from the bible book. 2. There’s no such thing as a good role model, y’all need to find yourselves and stop looking for people to look up to.”

Lil Nas X Says He Doesn’t Regret Making The “Montero” Video

Many conservatives slammed the “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” visuals at the time of its release in March 2021. The promotion of the single also included the controversial “Satan Shoes” which supposedly contained human blood.

Lil Nas X also released a letter to his 14-year-old self that read, in part, “You see this is very scary for me, people will be angry, they will say I’m pushing an agenda. But the truth is, I am. The agenda to make people stay the f### out of other people’s lives and stop dictating who they should be.”

Another Twitter user claimed Lil Nas X was now trying to backtrack from the “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” video. The Montero album creator fired back, “I promise I’m not backtracking from that video. I regret nothing. Everyone I p##### off can still suck a fart out my ass til this day.”

Internet personality Andrew Tate is currently under criminal investigation in Romania. Authorities detained the former professional kickboxer and his brother, Tristan Tate, on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and organized crime. Both Tates maintain their innocence.

Metro Boomin Adds Diddy To “Creepin’ (Remix)” With The Weeknd & 21 Savage

“Creepin'” off Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains album has become one of the biggest Hip Hop/R&B hits of 2023. After recruiting The Weekend and 21 Savage for the original version, Metro tapped Sean “Diddy” Combs for an official remix.

Diddy’s inclusion on the remix plays off the fact that “Creepin'” interpolates “I Don’t Wanna Know” by former Bad Boy recording artist Mario Winans. 2004’s “I Don’t Wanna Know” featured Enya and Diddy (then known as P. Diddy).

Apparently, Diddy will appear in the “Creepin’ (Remix)” music video. In respective Instagram posts from this week, Combs and Metro Boomin teased that a visual for the track is on the way. Mario Winans also appeared to share a photo of himself with The Weeknd.

“Creepin'” already peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single currently sits at No. 6 after remaining on the chart for 14 weeks so far. The Diddy remix could help boost the record back up the Hot 100 on next week’s rankings.

Metro Boomin made it into the Hot 100’s Top 10 four times in his career. The Heroes & Villains track “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)” with Future and Chris Brown charted at No. 8 in December. Metro also scored Top 10 entries with “Mr. Right Now” and “Runnin” in 2020.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has fifteen Top 10 songs in his discography, including five Number Ones. His Notorious B.I.G. tribute song “I’ll Be Missing You” spent eleven weeks at No. 1 in 1997 following Biggie’s death in March of that year.

Mario Winans’s “I Don’t Wanna Know” climbed to No. 2 on the Hot 100. The P. Diddy-assisted single also ranked at No. 2 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In addition, “I Don’t Wanna Know” led the Rhythmic Airplay chart for one week.

Finesse2Tymes Teases Joint Project With Moneybagg Yo

Memphis continues to produce rap stars who make it to the national stage. Names such as Key Glock, GloRilla, Blac Youngsta, NLE Choppa, Pooh Shiesty, Finesse2tymes, and Moneybagg Yo have risen up the Hip Hop ranks in recent years.

Finesse2Tymes signed to Moneybagg Yo’s Bread Gang record label in September 2022. Prior to closing that deal, the southerners were not on good terms. Finesse eventually took accountability for feuding with his fellow Tennesse native.

Now that Finesse2Tymes and Moneybagg Yo have settled their differences, it appears they will officially join forces for a collaborative body of work. Finesse2Tymes spoke about the potential project on Apple Music’s The Ebro Show.

“Me and Moneybagg Yo got a compilation coming out. A lot of people know us from killing the situation that we had before I went in. It was just young, petty,” explained Finesse2Tymes who served time in federal prison for a firearm charge. “I was kind of hotheaded and didn’t know how to maneuver then.”

Finesse added, “We went through our situation and I went to jail and I came home and we reconciled. We came together, sat at the table, felt each other’s energy two, three times before we even went public. Then we were like, ‘Man, f### it. Man, we’re too old. We got kids.’ But he’s a man of morals and principles too, like me. That’s what I loved the most, that he actually grew too.”

Finesse2Tymes released 90 Days in 2022 via Mob Ties/Bread Gang/Atlantic. The deluxe version, 90 Days Later, landed in 2023. The commercial mixtape contains guest features by Moneybagg Yo, Kevin Gates, 2 Chainz, Nardo Wick, Tay Keith, Gucci Mane, and Lil Baby. The 90 Days single “Back End” peaked at #86 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

TDE’s Doechii Embraces “Pop Vibes” For “What It Is (Block Boy)” Featuring Kodak Black

Rising star Doechii has released her first new single of 2023. “What It Is (Block Boy)” featuring Florida-bred rapper Kodak Black arrived on Friday, March 17.

“This song is a fusion of nostalgia and pop vibes,” says Doechii about the “What It Is (Block Boy)” track. “I feel like I’m showing off a side of my vocal range with this one that my fans haven’t really seen yet.”

The 24-year-old recording artist continues, “I love using the old samples of ‘No Scrubs’ and ‘Some Cut’ to mix in some playful energy as well.” TLC released “No Scrubs” in 1999. Trillville’s “Some Cut” came out in 2004.

Doechii Explains Taking Ownership Of Being Called A “Black B####”

In August 2022, Doechii dropped the she/her/black b#### EP via Top Dawg Entertainment/Capitol Records. The 5-track project includes the “Persuasive” collaboration with fellow TDE performer SZA.

“Many times I’ve been referred to as a ‘b####’ as a way to gaslight me out of certain spaces, something I think many people can relate to in one way or another,” stated Doechii last year. “Lots of people will call you various names for doing something differently.”

She added, “So I decided to take ownership of the ‘black b####’ and title my EP she/her/black b*tch and reclaim that m############ power. So if you’ve ever been put down for being yourself, just remember you’re powerful and unapologetic- these songs are for you.”

Former President Barack Obama Is A Fan Of Doechii’s “Persuasive”

Doechii recently received the Rising Star Award at the 2023 Billboard Women in Music Awards. Previous winners include Lady Gaga, Jazmine Sullivan, Nicki Minaj, Janelle Monáe, Ariana Grande, and Chloe x Halle.

In addition, Doechii’s “Persuasive” earned a Push Performance of the Year nomination at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. Seventeen took home the trophy for “Rock With You.” The other nominees were Griff, Remi Wolf, Nessa Barrett, Mae Muller, Gayle, Shenseea, Omar Apollo, Wet Leg, and Muni Long.

Former United States President Barack Obama also listed “Persuasive” on his 2022 Summer Playlist. Plus, Doechii made XXL magazine’s Freshman Class cover for 2022. The Tampa native joined SoFaygo, KayCyy, and Saucy Santana for the Freshman Cypher.

However, she stole the show in a stunning floor-length sheer gown with a gold corset cinching her in at the waist with only a pair of ‘X’-shaped pasties shielding her from being topless. Beyoncé resembled one of the famous gold Oscars statuettes in the high neck number from Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 2023 collection.  

However, those weren’t the only looks Beyoncé donned. Galia Lahav, the designer of Bey’s bespoke floor-length, crystal-encrusted dress, shared a few images of the songstress. One photo features Beyoncé chilling behind the scenes, enjoying a pizza with longtime friend and Destiny’s Child co-star Kelly Rowland.  

“QUEEN B,” the couturier penned in the caption. “Our muse @beyonce wearing a custom dress that was created especially for her for the Oscars gold party.”

Slim Thug is giving out free advice on how to stay rich and believes the key is to buy cheap clothes. 

The Houston rapper took to Instagram on Thursday to offer his followers some pearls of wisdom. According to Slim Thug, who changed his name to Big Slim last year to reflect his stature as a businessman, rappers spend too much money on buying designer clothes.  

“Let me show y’all why I still got money and a lot of rappers went broke,” he began before whipping out tags to show he spent less than $20 for a short and shirt set.  

“I’ll be in the club with this s### on,” he explained while showing his fit to the camera. “Y’all don’t know ‘cause I got a million dollars worth of jewelery on.” 

He then went on to state rappers look “gay’ because they wear clothing from “gay” fashion designers. Sim Thug says he’s able to hold on to his coins while standing out from the crowd with his inexpensive fits.  

“Y’all be buying that designer, y’all be looking gay because all the designers are gay,” he added. “And I’m the only one be standing out. Every ten of y’all with the same Christian Dior shirt, ten of y’all the same Gucci shirt and I’ll be the one that stand out with a plain tee that cost me five dollars. Same as a Happy Meal or less.” Check out the video below.

Slim Thug Responds To Backlash

However, his homophobic remark about fashion designers crew criticism from some. He took to the comments section to clarify his comment, although he only doubled down on his original stance.  

“For the gay ppl who are wondering what I mean when I say “look gay, I mean when a hood dude wearing a Gucci rainbow shirt and a man purse.” wrote Slim Thug. “No offense to y’all tho 🌈🌈🌈”

G Herbo has entered the best rapper alive conversation, throwing his hat into the ring as the top contender. 

Over the past few weeks, the debate around who is the greatest rapper, and while some discussions center around who is the greatest of all time, dead or alive, the Chicago drill icon believes he is the nicest living emcee.  

The PTSD album creator took to Instagram Thursday (Mar. 16) to lay his claim to the crown. “I really feel like im the best rapper alive,” G Herbo wrote in his IG Story. In case anybody thought he was trolling, Herbo added, “NBS [no b#######.]” 

His boast was picked up on Twitter and shared by several blog pages to a mixed response, although few replies agreed with G Herbo.  

“I can find you a better Twitter rapper than him in 15 seconds,” one wrote, while another added, “He’s good but not even the best rapper in his city.” 

https://twitter.com/JSP4PF/status/1636552938121314306?s=20

However, other fans were more aligned with G Herbo and praised the rapper. “He fire so i get why he feel that way,” one user stated. “Easy top 5 at least for me,” was another opinion.  

G Herbo dropped his highly anticipated fifth studio album Survivor’s Remorse: A Side, last year. His catalog includes 2017’s Humble Beast, 2018’s Swervo, 2019’s Still Swervin, 2020’s PTSD, and 2021’s 25.  

Prior to his albums, G Herbo released several mixtapes, such as 2014’s Welcome to Fazoland and 2015’s Ballin Like I’m Kobe. 

Last month (Feb. 24), the Machine Entertainment Group artist linked with Yung Bleu on the Murda Beatz-assisted single “Raining.” Listen to it below.  

Nikki Taylor’s Vibe Explores Mental Health Through Hip-Hop

By: Staff Writer Updated Category: Music News

Nikki Taylor Vibe delivers the sound discovered only after years of working in the industry. Her experience in indie hip-hop certainly reflects the careful cadence she utilizes across her output. The work certainly has paid off. She has already landed work with several well-known artists, such as J. Oliver (Fresh Ayr), Southside, Wheezy, and Rikanatti, and has landed placements with established music labels.

Early in 2020, she collaborated with Royce Da 59 on “Nother Level” and released her debut EP “Siren” in the same year. The EP, a hit, was a success gaining traction across multiple broadcast and satellite radio stations, one of which, Power 98.5, named her its Breakout Artist of the Year for 2020. Since then, she has continued to perfect her lyrical prowess. Since then, she has only attracted more attention through music blogs and magazines that have latched onto her message of self-care and self-preservation. 

On her latest song, “AWOL,” she takes on that universal ill of fake friends. Following hot on the heels of her past four singles, this one focuses on those who leave when the going gets tough. The song is a pure earworm, almost deceptive, with its pop leanings hiding something darker. With this approach, she perfectly embodies the ethos of those who only stick around for the good times, deceptive in their intention but unwilling to put in the actual work for a real connection.

Birdman added to the gripes over Billboard’s list of the best rappers.

The Cash Money Records boss demanded respect from Billboard in an Instagram post on Thursday (March 16). Birdman wanted recognition for himself and other CEOs in Hip-Hop.

“@billboard I see [you] did 10 best rappers which is well respeked,” he wrote. “But what about tha CEO who made tha way for these rappers to be Supa stars fought tha battle behind doors so they kan be super stars.”

He continued, “Put some respek on my name and stop playin with me I’m tha best to ever doit nothing but love for all CEO ever in 50yrs of hip hop we held it down cash money rich gang STUNNAMAN tha best ever #THEGOATMAKER I doit do 4MS GLADYS #dont lie @cashmoneyofficial.”

“P from @QC should be 2nd no doubt no shade jus bein real gangsta CMRG,” he wrote. “My [opinion] @cashmoneyofficial.”

Earlier this month, Birdman complained about CEOs missing from celebrations of Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary. He claimed CEOs kept Hip-Hop alive.

Mystikal sought to prevent people involved in his rape case from discussing it with members of the media.

According to The Advocate, the rapper’s new lawyer Tiffany Myles Crosby filed a request for a gag order in Louisiana on Thursday (March 16). Mystikal hired Crosby after ditching defense attorneys Joel Pearce and Timothy Yazbeck, who represented him in a past rape case that was dismissed.

Mystikal asked for a gag order due to an “inordinate amount of publicity.” He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday (March 20).

Last year, Mystikal was arrested for allegedly raping a woman at his home in July 2022. Authorities claimed he strangled the woman, threatened her with scissors and forced her to give him $150.

The 52-year-old rap star was indicted on multiple charges, including first-degree rape and false imprisonment. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Mystikal, whose real name is Michael Tyler, has remained in jail since his arrest. His trial is expected to begin this summer.

The former No Limit Records artist previously pleaded guilty to sexual battery and extortion in 2003. He spent six years in prison.

Mystikal was also charged with first-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping in 2017. The charges were dropped in 2020.

DJ Drama found a way to repair his relationship with his artist Lil Uzi Vert.

The Generation Now co-founder discussed their past feud in an interview with Bootleg Kev. DJ Drama said he’s now on great terms with Lil Uzi Vert.

“We got over the hump,” DJ Drama told Bootleg Kev. “We’re back in a great working space, in a great personal space … Families bicker. Sometimes, it plays out in the public. Sometimes, it doesn’t.”

He added, “His success is our success. So, even at a space and time where we may differ or I don’t agree or have another opinion on it, it’s a rock and a hard place. It’s kind of like you just gotta roll with punches and keep putting that work in.”

Lil Uzi Vert complained about Generation Now in recent years, which bothered DJ Drama. The two publicly clashed at times, but the veteran DJ believed time helped resolve their problems.

“Just coming back, and I guess after a couple of years of things kind of like letting it play out, we got back in a good space,” DJ Drama said. “And again, we were moving and grooving.”

Lil Uzi Vert is preparing to drop a new project titled The Pink Tape via Generation Now. A release date hasn’t been announced.

XXXTentacion Murder Trial Drags On With No Verdict; Jury Gets Day Off

Jurors finished their seventh day of deliberations with no verdict in the XXXTentacion murder trial.

The Florida jury was sent home for a few days on Thursday afternoon (March 16). Judge Michael Usan granted the jury’s request for a day off, allowing jurors to resume deliberations on Monday (March 20).

Michael Boatwright, Dedrick Williams and Trayvon Newsome were charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of XXXTentacion. They face life in prison if convicted.

The trio’s murder trial began in February. Last week, the jury started the deliberation process.

Prosecutors accused Boatwright, Williams and Newsome of targeting XXXTentacion in a deadly robbery. A fourth man, Robert Allen, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for his role in the late rapper’s death.

Allen testified against Boatwright, Williams and Newsome. Allen identified Boatwright as the man who shot XXXTentacion and Newsome as the one who grabbed a Louis Vuitton bag containing $50,000 in cash.

Prosecutors played surveillance footage of the violent robbery, which showed two masked men confronting XXXTentacion before the fatal shots were fired. Allen said Williams served as the getaway driver.

XXXTentacion, whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy, was shot and killed outside of a Florida dealership in June 2018. He was 20.

DJ Pretty Lou Presents The Turn The Tables Tournament Show

While a lot of the culture is focused on battle rap, there are some DJ battle competitions that have taken Hip Hop by storm and attracting some true—heavy hitters.

One example is DJ Pretty Lou and his “DJ Pretty Lou Presents The Turn The Tables,” a competition series that hosted its semi-finals and championship round tournament for his upcoming YouTube.TV show.

The semi-finals and championship DJ battles were held at Barcode in Elizabeth, NJ, and hosted the following celebrity judges, DJ Enuff, Mister Cee and DJ DooWop.

Going head-to-head in the tournament were DJ Ric Roc vs DJ Chicago Rambo (first round) and DJ Jay Smooth vs DJ Drop (second round). All four DJs are competing to win $10,000.

The competition lines the DJs up, asking them to complete seven-minute sets with a surprise “Monkey Wrench.” A Monkey Wrench is to test your music library and what one might have in their stash.

An example is if the set was all Roc-a-fella artist songs (and not songs they were featured on) and the surprise Monkey Wrench, created mostly by DJ Clark Kent, would be something like Queens “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

For Mr. Cee and DJ Enuff, the competition really lifts the need for rap music education in the DJ community, both saying, it is a must for DJs to learn the music (tracking over 50 years) that feeds their art form.

“DJ Pretty Lou Presents The Turn The Tables” debuts on Wednesday, April 12, and is sponsored by DEF JAM, Avenue Motors, Trinity, and Bell Mitsubishi.

Salute Dave Chapelle!

The good brother was in Austin this week and there were several sightings of him. He was moving about the town and ended up at a party last night. But this was no ordinary party. This was a show that was hosted by Just Blaze and featured a bunch of people like Redman, Beanie Sigel, Talib Kweli, Freeway, Bun B and more. It was amazing! But when Dave hit the scene, things went to the next level! Dave eventually got on the mic and immediately paid homage to the last Bobby Caldwell. Caldwell passed away at the age of 71 this week. And we are in pain! God bless his soul. Dave started singing “What You Won’t Do For Love” and the DJ began to mix in the actual song. And, of course, there is the crowd. I do not have video, but hit me up if you see anything online, or drop it in the comments!

Rest in Peace, Brother Bobby! Here’s the song once again!

True or False? Quando Rondo Claims He’s Blackballed

Honestly, I never knew Quando Rondo was in the game in a way that would result in being blackballed. I guess if whatever social circle you exist in decides to give you the boot, you can be expunged from anything. As far as I am concerned, he was never at industry events, parties, awards shows or anything else for that matter. God bless.

He recently did an interview and claimed to be out of the game against his wishes.

He looks good (as in not based out), he seems to have his clothing and jewels. What’s the issue?

I think his so-called blackballing has less to do with being cut out the game and more to do with being a liability everywhere he goes. After Von died, and he was closely related to Lul Timm, that’s a big a$$ albatross around the neck. They never lead with talent and skill so why do it now?

What do you guys think?

EXCLUSIVE: Young Thug Seeking To Redact Video Threatening Lil Wayne And Expose Informant “K.C.”

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Category: Exclusives
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

In an ongoing RICO trial, rapper Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, is fighting to redact a controversial video while seeking information on an informant known as K.C.

The video in question dates back to April 14, 2015, and allegedly shows Young Thug threatening fellow rapper Lil Wayne.

The prosecution seeks to introduce the video as evidence, arguing that it demonstrates Young Thug’s involvement in running the street gang Young Slime Life.

The prosecution believes the video is essential due to the 2015 conviction of Jimmy Carlton Winfrey, also known as Peewee Roscoe, who was sentenced to ten years for shooting at Lil Wayne’s tour bus.

Winfrey, an associate of both Young Thug and Bryan “Birdman” Williams, was indicted on RICO charges alongside 27 other members of Young Slime Life, including Young Thug, on various charges.

Additionally, Young Thug is searching for information on an individual known as “K.C.,” who has reportedly been cooperating with the police since 2015.

The defense believes that “K.C.’s” background and history as an informant may be crucial to their case.

On January 8, 2015, T.I.G. Studios became the target of a drive-by shooting. The State’s discovery process enabled law enforcement officers to obtain statements identifying the perpetrator of this incident.

The shooter was identified as “K.C.,” a State witness in the ongoing case.

The prosecution has not provided any reports, statements, 911 calls, videos, notes, body camera footage, or other evidence related to the drive-by shooting.

T.I.G., short for “Think Its A Game,” was home to artists like Trinidad Jame$, Rich Homie Quan, and most importantly, YFN. Lucci.

The YSL/YFN feud escalated dramatically seven years ago after the murder of Donavan “Big Nut” Thomas, who played a pivotal role in discovering several Atlanta-based rappers, including YFN Lucci.

District Attorney Fani Willis has attributed at least 50 shootings and murders to the ongoing YSL/YFN feud.

YFN Lucci has been locked up since April of 2021 on murder, felony assault, racketeering, and other charges in a 105-count indictment

Young Thug has been in custody since May 2022, when he was arrested on a series of RICO charges.

Moments after taking the stand in the controversial Taxstone trial about the murder of his friend and bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter, Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave has dropped a diss track against his enemy.

The new song hit the internet on Monday, March 13, and is called “Black Church.” Many people are referring to it as the “Taxstone Diss.”

A video has also been released where Troy Ave, dressed in a hoodie, is spitting in front of an actual church in the night— so it looks black. The rhyme seems to defend or at the very least says he’s good with his decision to cooperate with the courts.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Troy Ave cooperated with the government to ensure the Taxstone gets locked up.

In a matter of two days, the video has amassed approximately 50,000 views.

One person wrote, “Man you killed them last two drops. Belly of The Beast & Black Church 🔥🔥 That’s the Troy Ave we want. #TopTierBars.”

Another wrote, “I ain’t even get to tell you but that White Xmas needed that Black Church on it. My s### on the album is once upon a time and Blue Chanel.”

“That @TroyAve Black Church 🔥🔥🔥,” one fan submitted.

Eric André Demands Chet Haze Take DNA Test To Prove Tom Hanks Is His Dad

Eric André has insisted everything Chet Hanks said about him in his Instagram rant is a “bold-faced lie.”

The feud between the comedian and Tom Hanks’s son began earlier this week when Eric claimed in an interview with Rolling Stone that Chet “broke” the crew of his sketch series, “The Eric André Show,” with his “dangerous” behavior and called him “emotionally disturbed.”

The actor/musician responded in a video on his Instagram Stories on Wednesday night, claiming Eric is badmouthing him because he “outshined” the funnyman and made him “shook” on the set of his own show.

“There’s a lot of f###### weirdos in Hollywood, but I didn’t think you were one of them,” he continued. “I thought you were funny and cool, but turns out you’re just a p####, dude.”

The stand-up star reposted the video on his Instagram Stories and promoted the upcoming series of the show with laughing emojis. However, a few hours later, he returned and recorded his own video.

“Guys, everything Chet Hanks just said about me is a f###### bold-faced lie. He’s a f###### liar. And I dare him to take a f###### DNA test and prove that Tom Hanks is his f###### father,” he angrily stated.

He tagged Chet in the post alongside a middle finger emoji.

In the original interview, Eric alleged, “He stole a motorcycle and rode it around. He almost knocked a bunch of grips and gaffers off their ladders. It was very dangerous. He tried to prank us back, but we edited out all his bulls**t! He’s not well. How did (Chet’s half-brother) Colin Hanks come out so good and Chet Hanks come out so bad?”

In his Instagram video, Chet confirmed he picked up a dirt bike and started riding it around the set, but he got off after the crew expressed concern.
