If you make it in the rap game
you can afford to have security 24/7,
but sometimes rappers roll solo and end up getting pressed.
Today we’re breaking down the biggest artists in the game
who overstepped and got checked.
Let’s get right into it.
Game is a west coast legend,
but that didn’t stop Lil Durk from pressing him
when they ran into each other in LA
back in 2014.
Durk and Tyga had been beefing,
and Tyga featured Game on his diss track to Durk
called Chiraq to LA.
Game spit a huge verse that was almost four minutes long
and took shots at other rappers.
On one line he said
“I don’t f*** with no new n****s,
they like to sue, no woo n****
Tyga hit me like ‘Durk dissing’
Dirk Nowitzki? Durk who n****?
Never heard of these n****s.”
Then a video came out showing Durk pressing Game at a club in LA.
Both their crews were yelling and shoving,
and someone with Game kept yelling
“Meet us outside.”
Both sides were definitely ready for smoke,
but luckily it never got that far.
The day after that went down,
Game hopped on Twitter to let everyone know
that the beef was squashed and Durk stamped the message.
But later Game went on the Breakfast Club
and made it sound like he tracked Durk down
but didn’t really press him after he saw how small he was.
We found him, we went to him,
and uh-
I saw Durk and he was a little guy man,
Yeah and he was cool man so it just went away man.
After the interview came out,
Durk hopped on Twitter and said
“He found me lol wtf.”
and “Glad I’m not a Twitter gangster …..
Remember me.”
It looked like the beef was gonna spark up for real this time,
but after that
neither one of them sent any more shots and the whole thing died out.
Lil Tjay is one of the hottest new rappers in the game,
and earlier this year
he survived getting shot seven times in New Jersey.
But a few years ago,
he got pressed by a Toronto rapper named Top5
for not checking in with him before he came to his city.
Top5 posted a video of him trying to press Tjay on the street.
Top5 was trying to get Tjay to meet him at the corner,
but Tjay obviously wasn’t too worried about the situation
and just started dancing for the camera.
Tjay started posting videos of him going all over Toronto without any issues,
and then he exposed Top5 on social media.
He posted screenshots of Top5 sliding in someone’s DMs
damn near begging to open up for Tjay at his show in Toronto.
He even offered to send a couple of racks just to get put on,
but Tjay turned him down -
and that’s when the issues started.
Luckily nothing serious happened,
but a lot of people don’t realize
how deadly it could’ve been.
Top5 is facing a murder charge right now,
and there’s no telling what would’ve went down
if Tjay had actually followed him around the corner.
Now Top5 is sitting in jail
while Tjay is blowing up more than ever,
so it’s pretty clear who came out on top of the situation.
Meek Mill and 6ix9ine been beefing
ever since Meek started calling him a rat
for snitching on his crew and working with the cops.
They sent shots back and forth on social media for a while,
but last year
6ix9ine tried to check him outside the club.
Videos came out showing 6ix9ine trying to run up on Meek,
but Meek’s security crew kept them separated.
6ix9ine kept clowning Meek for having security all around him,
but Meek clapped back on IG
and said he spit on 6ix9ine before the cameras were rolling.
Then people started trolling 6ix9ine
by posting photos of him with his own security team.
That’s when 6ix9ine’s manager Wack100 hopped in
and started sending shots back and forth with Meek too.
Meek said that 6ix9ine almost got rolled up just for clout,
but the videos make it pretty clear
that neither of them really wanted to fight.
It’s easy to link up and run a fade,
but most rappers are really just tryna get the spotlight on them,
not throw hands for real.
Newer rap fans
might only know Jay Z as a hip hop billionaire
who’s just as good at making business moves as he is spitting bars.
But Hov came up in the trenches pushing weight in the streets,
and in 2018
he proved he’s not the one to mess with
after a video came out showing him pressing Offset backstage.
The video don’t have any audio
so you can’t really hear what’s going on,
but it looks like Jay is walking Offset down
while Beyonce is standing behind them watching it happen.
According to rumors,
it all started after Offset planned on making a track for Cardi B
called She’s My Beyonce.
Neither side ever talked about the situation publicly,
but some fans think
they were just chopping it up and that it was nothing serious.
Even if he got checked by Hov back then,
it’s clear Offset still has a lot of love for him.
Back in September,
Offset told Complex
Goat rapper.
I gotta say Hov
He said
On rap you can't play with him bro.
Since the beginning of time.
Certificate wise.
You can't play with him since the beginning of time
He always had the biggest records.
He always got the biggest people and did the biggest records,
and he come back and still make impact for records right now.
If Jay do a verse right now
everyone want to hear just what the man saying.
It’s not clear what exactly went down between them,
but all the rumors prove
that people know Jay is not the OG to be playing with.
King Yella is a Chicago rapper
who was tight with dudes like FBG Duck.
He’s survived getting shot and going to prison,
but that didn’t keep him from getting pressed by Offset back in 2018.
Yella dropped a track called Cardi B Truth
over the beat from Offset’s Ric Flair Drip and rapped
“Driving in the foreigns and you know I love Mercedes
Thick b**** Cardi B wanna have my baby.”
and “N****s know Yella don’t play that s***
Offset boy you better watch your b****
Watch your b**** boy she on my d***.”
Yella also put up an old photo of him and Cardi together.
Offset obviously wasn’t cool with the situation,
and a video came out
of him allegedly threatening to put hands on King Yella on FaceTime.
That’s when Cardi hopped in
and posted a phone call with Yella
where she told him
Keep my name out your f***** dirty ass mouth.
Like you n**** doing the most for clout, get your bread up.
The situation cooled off after that,
and earlier this year
King Yella did an interview with 16ShotEm Visualz
and addressed the whole thing.
According to him,
I met Cardi in like 2013
At the time I ain't know who she was, she knew who I was.
You feel me, I ain't know who she was tho.
When 16ShotEm asked him straight up if he had a history with her,
Yella finally squashed the rumors
and said they never hooked up.
Did you smash Cardi B?
(Laughing)
No man I ain't have sex with Cardi B man.
He also said he never thought the situation was that serious,
and he don’t have anything against her and Offset.
Luckily it never escalated,
because the Migos getting into a real beef
with a Chiraq dude like King Yella could’ve ended badly for everyone.
YK Osiris popped off with tracks like I’m Next and Valentine,
and in 2019
he made the XXL Freshman class.
But apparently
the money he’s made in the industry ain't enough
because now he’s famous for owing other artists money.
Back in November 2021,
Osiris ran into Lil Baby at a jewelry store
and Baby pressed him over $5K he owed him.
At first Osiris laughed it off
and said he couldn’t wait to pay him back,
but then Baby got more serious about it
and asked him how long he had owed him.
How long you owed me?
About 3 months.
That's a lot.
Oh ****, 5?
April,
May, June, (counting months)
Oh
About 5, 6 months.
It’s not clear what he owed Baby for,
but that’s not the only rapper he had debts with.
A month after the video came out with Baby,
Drake made Osiris perform his track Worth It
to clear off the $60K he owed him.
And apparently got rid of the debt,
I'm not Baby I'm not Boosie,
you don't owe me no 2 rack, 5 racks
you owe me 60 bags,
I'm playing the song right now, are you ready?
I need- (inaudible)
Huh?
You don't owe me no money.
Right now I swear, I need a full performance tho.
The real s*** tho.
but it seems like all the money issues
have left him without any friends in the rap game.
Back in October,
he went Live on IG
and revealed that Drake,
Lil Baby, and nobody else in the industry is rocking with him anymore.
Me and Drake don't talk.
Me and Lil Baby don't talk.
Fans were worried about him
because Osiris was breaking down into tears
and asking them why he should keep living,
Nobody f**** with Osiris,
so why the f*** I keep living?
How am I supposed to tell y'all?
Y'all not get it.
but later he hopped back online
and said he was crying for all of his fans
who might feel alone too.
Hopefully Osiris can get back to a happier place in life
and find some friends in the industry.
He might have some money issues right now,
but one hot track could get his pockets back up in no time.
King Yella has a lot of beef
because that’s just how it is when you come up in Chicago,
and a few years ago
a video came out of him and Billionaire Black
pressing their opp 600Breezy in Las Vegas.
Breezy had just touched down after linking up with Drake,
and that’s when Yella and Billionaire Black saw him in a mall.
In the video their convo ain't that serious
and it doesn't seem like any of them
really wanted to escalate the situation.
King Yella told 16ShotEm
Like at the end of the day, I don't know Breezy.
That was my first time ever meeting him in real life.
Now if Brick was there tho,
(Laughing)
There wasn't gonna be nothing else to talk about you feel me.
Brick was FBG Duck’s brother,
and Yella says he would’ve put hands on Breezy
but he ended up staying in the hotel room
while Yella and Billionaire Black went to the mall.
Unfortunately
Duck and Brick were later killed in Chicago,
but a couple of months ago
a video came out where Duck revealed
he was the one who told King Yella and Billionaire Black
to press Breezy when they saw him.
I told him just press him fool.
I'm the one that told him to press him.
Breezy was allegedly outnumbered five to one in the mall,
but he stood his ground and didn’t run
when the opps walked up on him.
Yella even gave him props for it in his interview with 16ShotEm,
which says a lot
when it’s coming from someone on the other side of a deadly beef.
Tory Lanez has been in the headlines
for allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot,
but that’s not the only beef he’s had in the rap game.
Back in 2018
a video came out showing Travis Scott pressing Tory in his trailer
after a show.
Lanez and Scott were always cool,
but in the video
you can see them almost throwing hands over an argument.
Tory Lanez may be way smaller,
but he told Scott
Are we apologizing or you wanna shoot the fade my n****?
Every person can get out of here, every single person get out of here.
Literally every person can get out of here and we can shoot the fade, my n* ***.
The video cut off before anything serious went down,
but it doesn’t seem like they actually threw hands.
Lanez talked about the situation on the track Hate to Say,
where he rapped
“Me and Travis Scott almost fought at the Mala Luna
We both agreed shortly after that it was music
We possibly could be doin’ that’s bigger than tryna ruin it
So my apologies, n****, just forgive me for doin’ it.”
It all allegedly started
after Lanez clapped back at people online
who said he sounded like Scott.
Lanez told the fan
I can’t sound like
anybody that I wrote for.
and that’s allegedly what made Scott press him.
The situation almost went left,
but Lanez told Billboard
that they squashed it right after the argument and they’re cool again.
Luckily they were able to move on quickly,
but that’s definitely not the case with Tory and Megan The Stallion.
They’re set to go to trial on December 5th,
so tap in for updates while that story develops.
