Funniest, Wildest & Messiest Tweets From Gucci Mane & Jeezy’s Verzuz Battle

Twitter reacts to the star-studded Verzuz between Gucci Mane and Jeezy at Magic City in Atlanta …

Greatest Verzuz ever?

After weeks of social media buzz, industry whispers and bold predictions, Trap Titans Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy went hit-for-hit (and petty jab-for-jab) in a deliciously MESSY Verzuz battle with all sorts of spicy shenanigans that popped off at Atlanta’s illustrious Magic City.

If you’re late to party, the living legends were embroiled in a seemingly never-ending beef that inspired countless diss tracks and, most notably, a murder charge against Gucci for the death of Jeezy’s friend and label mate Pookie Loc in 2005.

At one point, we weren’t even sure if the Verzuz would happen because of their deadly serious beef that spilled over into last night’s tense proceedings.

Naturally, Jeezy attempted to keep it cordial as Gucci bullied him in the pettiest ways imaginable.

“When I called you and extended this invite, I did so as a real man,” said Jeezy after Gucci played “Truth”–his iconic diss track boasting about how he murdered Pookie Loc who he believed was sent by Jeezy to kill him on that infamous night.

Now, we knew there may be some frosty (no pun intended *this time*) exchanges but didn’t expect Gucci to drop that particular record in front of 2 million people.

“I brought you here to show you the world care about what the f**k we got going on, because we are the culture,” said the Snowman before shouting out slain rappers Nipsey Hussle, Pop Smoke, Mo3 and King Von and dropping his CLASSIC street smash “Get Ya Mind Right.”

For weeks, there was endless chitter-chatter about what would happen if Gucci were bold enough to drop “Truth” in Jeezy’s presence and, uh, things didn’t go like we thought they’d go.

Not at all.

In fact, everyone’s predictions were wrong when Gucci & Jeezy seemed to squash their beef and perform their joint hit “So Icy” together in a heart-warming moment that made all the goons swoon.

“I appreciate you for extending the olive branch, I respect that,” Gucci said before introducing the song.

Boosie Badazz Responds to Kewon White’s Claims About Dallas Shooting

Boosie Badazz is responding after Kewon White, the man recently convicted of killing Mo3, spoke about the 2020 shooting involving the Louisiana rapper and said he had multiple chances to kill him. Speaking from jail during an interview with Cam Capone News, White talked about his problems with Boosie’s behavior on a trip to Dallas after Mo3’s death. White told the rapper he shot at Boosie about 10 times but wasn’t trying to kill him. He claimed he had three opportunities to kill the rapper.

Boosie was shot in the leg in Dallas on November 14, 2020, days after Mo3 was killed and one day after Boosie attended a vigil for his late collaborator. Boosie has taken note of the new comments in part because White is currently appealing his murder conviction. Boosie also questioned why White would go public with information about the shooting while appealing his case.

In a reply on social media, Boosie wondered why White would do that, believing the jailhouse interviews might cause more problems for the convicted killer. He also objected to the decision to explore the particulars of Mo3’s death while trying to appeal the conviction. White was convicted this month of capital murder for shooting Mo3, whose real name was Melvin Noble, on a Dallas highway in 2020. White has filed a notice of appeal since.

So the timing of White’s comments has become a central part of Boosie’s reaction. Boosie didn’t address White’s allegations regarding the 2020 shooting but did ask why someone challenging a murder conviction would even talk about case details in public interviews.

The case has also included allegations against Yella Beezy. During White’s trial, prosecutors said Beezy paid White to kill Mo3. White has denied receiving any payment from Beezy, and Beezy has denied any involvement in the alleged murder plot.

White’s conviction and subsequent appeal have kept the case in the public conversation, and his recent jail interview added another chapter. His remarks on Boosie also address a violent period following Mo3’s death, during which Boosie traveled to Dallas and was shot. For Boosie, the problem is bigger than what happened in 2020. White’s choice to discuss the shooting while seeking an appeal has caused him to publicly question the strategy behind the interviews and the timing of the disclosures.

DJ Vlad Challenges Boosie Badazz Over Federal Gun Case

DJ Vlad is taking his beef with Boosie Badazz to the next level, asking whether the rapper’s behavior in his federal gun case matches the anti snitching code he’s long imposed on others in hip hop.

In a new clip for VladTV, Vlad looked back at Boosie’s federal gun case and pointed to court documents he says show the rapper from Baton Rouge shifting blame onto his security guard. Vlad said the paperwork runs counter to Boosie’s long track record of publicly denouncing rappers he believes are snitching to authorities.

The latest row is another sign of an already frayed relationship. Boosie has been one of VladTV’s most frequent interview guests. Still, their relationship has soured over the years over issues involving interview payments, business dealings, and, most recently, Boosie’s push for a presidential pardon.

The pardon controversy has become a major part of the ongoing public beef between the rappers. Boosie reportedly paid $600,000 to two lobbyists, Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl, to lobby President Donald Trump for a pardon in his federal gun case. When the pardon didn’t come through, Boosie accused them of misleading him and demanded $300,000 back. Burkman and Wohl have denied scamming Boosie, saying they were hired to advocate for him, not to promise a pardon.

Boosie went on 60 Minutes to discuss the issue, which brought more attention to the situation. He later complained about how the interview was portrayed and released purported messages involving the lobbyists while defending himself against claims his actions were snitching.

Vlad is now using the controversy to call Boosie out on a principle that has been a major talking point in the rapper’s public commentary. Vlad mentioned Boosie’s situation as part of other past hip-hop discussions he’s had with Gunna, Young Thug, T.I., and Gucci Mane.

“The court documents for Boosie’s federal gun case are another point of contention for Vlad. His case hinges on whether the rapper’s alleged remarks about his security guard should be measured by the same yardstick Boosie has used to measure other artists. The charge is particularly noteworthy as Boosie has cultivated a strong public persona against what he considers snitching. With that history, the latest exchange with Vlad is more personal, adding to a complicated fallout between the two.
