In a surprising twist, Justin Bieber has seemingly taken a jab at the Clipse duo via social media.
The pop sensation released his album, Swag, on the same day as the Virginia rap duo’s anticipated reunion album, Let God Sort Em Out. This unexpected move set the stage for a social media showdown.
Bieber reposted a controversial message on his Instagram Stories, declaring his album the superior work. The post read, ‘Justice is served. @lilbieber emptied the clip. This is the only album that matters right now. This album is way better than the Clipse. Clipse is for bitter grown men who collect Kaws dolls and shop at Kith and Union.’ Although the post was swiftly deleted, the impact remained.
Meanwhile, the Clipse duo has yet to respond to Bieber’s perceived slight, keeping fans waiting for any commentary from their side.
Pusha T, one-half of Clipse, is no stranger to calling out opponents in the music scene. Recently, he aired grievances against Travis Scott, citing an interruption during a recording session with Pharrell Williams in Paris as disrespectful.
Pusha T expressed his disdain, saying, ‘I just thought it was disrespectful. We don’t even want you here to be honest. We’re not here to hobnob with any rappers and I personally don’t like rappers who don’t rap.’ He emphasized his point, adding, ‘You don’t rap, stay out of rappers’ business.’
In a GQ interview, Pusha elaborated on his stance against Travis Scott, describing him as someone who plays people off against each other. His frustration was evident as he remarked, ‘To me, that really was just like…he’s a whore. He’s a whore.’
As tensions simmer between Justin Bieber and Clipse, the music community is left speculating whether a response from Clipse will ignite a new chapter in this unfolding drama.
