Tension ran high at the MTV VMA’s when Freddie Gibbs and Gunna ended up seated next to each other.
- Gibbs didn’t hold back, calling Gunna a ‘rat bastard’ on his Instagram Stories.
- A song snippet with barbs at Gunna played in the background of Gibbs’ post.
- Young Thug has also shared strong feelings about Gunna’s plea deal in the ongoing YSL RICO case.
- The controversy has seen several artists weighing in on the debate.
The MTV VMA’s witnessed an unexpected turn when Freddie Gibbs found himself seated next to Gunna. Not one to mince words, Gibbs took to Instagram Stories to broadcast his displeasure, tagging Gunna as a ‘rat bastard.’ As if the verbal jab wasn’t enough, he cheekily played a clip of Gunna with the song ‘Lavish Habits’ in the background.
Via social media, Gibbs pointedly remarked, ‘I see you, boy. Don’t try to hide.’ This incident was the latest in a string of public exchanges between the two artists, showcasing the ongoing tension.
In the track ‘Alfredo 2,’ Gibbs makes no secret of his disdain, rapping about Gunna’s alleged betrayal with lines like ‘Gunna dissed me and took a plea, he a rat bastard.’ The sentiment echoes throughout the hip-hop community, with Young Thug chiming in with strong words on a leaked call.
Young Thug’s take on Gunna’s plea deal was incendiary, as he accused Gunna of prioritizing personal interests over loyalty. Thug’s harsh declaration, “you don’t deserve nothing,” highlighted the gravity of the perceived betrayal. He made it clear he wasn’t backing down from his stance.
The leaked audio, in which Young Thug denies snitching on a YSL associate, further complicates the narrative. He used social media to defend his actions, claiming, ‘I helped my brada’. It’s no surprise that ‘snitching’ has become a hot-button issue in the YSL RICO trial.
Despite Gunna denying the allegations of cooperation with prosecutors, the storm continues unabated. Even Gunna’s former lawyer, Steve Sadow, stepped in to dismiss the snitching claims, attempting to provide some air of clarity.
However, it seems the damage to Gunna’s reputation persists, with artists like Lil Baby and Fat Joe also expressing their disappointment. The saga of accusations and denials underscores the deep divisions in the hip-hop community over the matter.
The drama surrounding Gunna’s plea deal at the VMA’s and within the YSL RICO trial shows no signs of slowing down.
