Quavo has fired back at Chris Brown with a new diss track, “Over Hoes & B*tches,” following Brown’s earlier release of “Weakest Link” aimed at him. This exchange began when Brown dissed Quavo on his track “Freak” from the deluxe version of his latest album, “11:11.” Quavo countered with “Tender,” prompting Brown’s response.

The latest track premiered on DJ Akademiks‘ livestream on Monday, Apr. 22, with Quavo targeting Brown and his associates from OHB, Saweetie and more.

“Lil boy wanna die ’bout some coochie?/You still fucked up ’bout Karrueche?/You tried to beat up Teyana, but Usher wouldn’t let you do it/The cocaine got him your honor, bipolar disorder, no wonder/You was the greatest, n***a, you fumbled/Going out sad, I’m watching you crumble.” Quavo spits.

Chris Brown has since responded to the diss stating that he’s disappointed.

Kanye West Drops ‘Like That’ Remix Dissing Drake & J. Cole miixtapechiick

Kanye West has decided to enter the hip-hop feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar by dropping a verse over Future and Metro Boomins “Like That.”

As the record maintains its number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, Kanye premiered the new verse on Justin Laboy‘s podcast, “The Download.”


Before his verse began, Ye stated, “We gon’ take this p*ssy n*gga out, yo Dot I got you,” before launching into his lyrics.

“Y’all so outta sight, outta mind / Can’t even think of a Drake line / Play J. Cole get the p***y dry / Play this s*** back 130 times,” Ye spits.



Back in 2021, Drake and Kanye West had ended their longstanding feud to hold a benefit concert for Larry Hoover to “raise awareness of the need for prison and sentencing reform.” This relationship between the two artists turned sour during the feud between G.O.O.D. Music president, Pusha T and DrakeDrake accused Kanye of leaking the news that he had a son to Pusha T.
