BEEF ALERT!
JPEGMAFIA and Freddie Gibbs are beefing like crazy. JPEG went off on a full-blown diss campaign against Gibbs over on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) and nobody quite knows why. This is all set to the fact that both artists are on the new Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s joint album Vultures 1. They were in Italy for the listening party.
Kanye West Thrust Into Freddie Gibbs & JPEGMAFIA’s Online Beef
JPEG didn’t hold back. He dropped a video where he called the rapper a “fake gangster,” saying getting beat up and shot at disqualifies him for such a distinction. “One of us got a kid with a d##k dent in their head, one of us don’t. One of us got their a##hole spread online, one of us don’t. One of us get their as beat annually like Family Matters. This s##t is like a recurring sitcom, n###a. One of us don’t,” he continued. “Who’s really gangsta? I’m gangsta, n###a. You haven’t done anything gangsta in your whole muthafkin’ career except get your a## beat, get your baby momma f##ked on camera and get embarrased. So stay in the gym, bro because it’s useless,” JPEG said, going in.
His words stung ME, but there was more. He even shared an NSFW photo of Gibbs, but he later deleted it. What is it about dudes doing that?
On the flip side, Freddie Gibbs simply posted videos of himself chilling in Italy, hitting the gym, and enjoying some croissants. He’s out there living his best life! He did not give a man with MAFIA in his name any energy!
Now…what are they beefing for? This is still murky. I have a clue, and I’ll share it. It seems the beef between JPEGMAFIA and Freddie Gibbs has some deep roots, tracing back to a perceived diss from years ago. I am talking 10-plus years. These things have a way of simmering beneath the surface, only to boil over when artists cross paths. And that is what happened, apparently. They saw each other in the hotel and it did not stop. JPEG was even kicked out of the Kanye event! And it just kept on for all to see on social media.
By the way, Gibbs said he was there and ready to get it on.
Right?
