Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz isn’t having it. The hip-hop veteran has come forward to speak out on the aftermath of his Verzuz battle with Rick Ross and people thinking he might have taken an L from the face-off.
2 Chainz Defends Himself In Verzuz Battle
On Friday, Deuce went to his Instagram page and shared footage of himself talking to New York radio show “The Breakfast Club” about what went down. He also defended his music and decision to put out his best 20 songs during the bout.
“STOP PLAYING WIT ME ? 1. @defjam fault for setting up an interview at 8am knowing I be up allll nite ??♂️?2. @cthagod fault for trying to Capp me down !!! ????????Rose me !!! #stopplayingwithme #SOHELPMEGOD” -2 Chainz’s Instagram
“Listen, his list has been up in my studio for two weeks. I wasn’t surprised at no songs he played. Y’all f*cking with the right one when you come tot his. Listen, he had more pressure than me because he had more material. Y’all talking about 20 hits, right? I played 23 hits! I’m not going back and forth with catalogues – you say you want to hear some hits, I played plaque after plaque after plaque after plaque! And so another thing I was doing, I wasn’t doing no rounds. I was just playing hit for hit for hit. I wasn’t going back and forth with no catalogue – it wasn’t about none of that sh*t.” -2 Chainz’s Instagram
The emotional words even inspired Atlanta rapper Killer Mike to speak up. Instead of picking sides, Mike credited both Chainz and Ross for delivering an epic Verzuz bout.
“Y’all had a Ball we the audience loved it!!! Strippers, massagers, SWAG! Y’all was the Dope Man Ambassador’s with music last night! Loved it!!! Salutes @2chainz & @richforever thank y’all, playa’s!” -Killer Mike
