Gary, Indiana native and ESGN Records boss, Freddie "Gangsta" Gibbs, was at one point affiliated with Jeezy through the latter's CTE World imprint. That ended in 2012 when Gibbs decided to go independent.
At the time Gibbs said there was no beef between them, but it's become clear over the last several years that the split wasn't amicable.
During a recent conversation with Desus and Mero, Gibbs indicated that the only reason there was no beef was because he's "real" and Jeezy isn't.
"It gotta be beef when it's two real motherfuckers in the equation. When it's it's one motherfucker, it's just like ... pssshhh," Gibbs explained. "Pussy ass nigga. I'll whoop your ass, nigga. Fuck Jeezy ... bitch ass nigga."
Well, damn!
Gibbs goes in on Jeezy beginning at the 11:55 mark

Grew up in MICHIGAN on DETROIT'S east side... I attended MARVIN L.WINANS ACADEMY of the PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL where I studied choir,dance, and drama classes, from 3rd to 11th grade. Being there reallygroomed my talents and taught me how to perform. The teachers noticed mygifts and they made sure I used them. When my mom and dad divorced Iunfortunately had to leave WINANS ACADEMY. I then attended DENBY HIGHSCHOOL, which was my first time in a Detroit public school. The workwas easy, but they had no interest in my talent. My primary focus was tograduate because there were a lot of distractions. Soon aftergraduating, I took some classes at the Wayne County Community College, Iwasn't really sure what I wanted to do and eventually I left and wentBACK TO THE MUSIC the only thing that made me happy.
I would describe my music as a mixture between R&B and Urban Pop. Iwouldn't put myself in one category because I kind of switch it up abit. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be R&B, it's justsomething about it. Most R&B songs are about love, and love issomething that I would like to represent as an artist. Songs you canfeel, relate to, and touch people. Songs that leave an impact onpeople's lives, and that draws on ones emotions. Love songs never die,and that's the kind of music that I love to create.

Kodak Black is being smart about his probation this time around. He's so serious about not getting violated again, he's trying to make sure he can work with other rappers that have been in trouble with the law.
TMZ reports that one of the conditions of the 20-year old's probation is that he can't be around people known to have criminal records. That would include previous collaborators Gucci Mane, Young Thug and Rick Ross.
Black, born Dieuson Octave, had his attorney, Bradford Cohen, file legal documents with the probation judge on Monday, June 13, asking for an exception to work with family members and work associates.
No ruling has been handed down by the judge as of yet.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Kevin Durant capped his spectacular first season with the Warriors by bringing home that coveted NBA championship he joined Golden State last July so determined to get, scoring 39 points in a fast-and-furious, Finals-clinching 129-120 victory over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night.
"From when I played him in the 2012 Finals to now... experience is the best teacher."
Stephen Curry added 34 points, 10 assists and six rebounds as Golden State closed out its second title in three years after squandering a 3-1 lead a year ago to the Cavs to miss a repeat. That stung ever since, and even Durant understood, because he gave up the same lead to the Warriors a round earlier with Oklahoma City.
“We learned from everything we’ve been through,” Curry said during the trophy celebration. “Our perspective, being blessed to play on this stage three years in a row, it’s for these fans, for our organization, for these families. To be back here, bring ol’ Larry back home, I’m just excited to do something special. I’m ready to do it again.”
James, who in 2012 with Miami beat the Thunder in Durant’s only other Finals, wound up with 41 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists. Kyrie Irving followed up his 40-point gem in Friday’s Game 4 with 26 points but shot 9 for 22.
This time, King James gave way to KD, who was the NBA Finals MVP 10 years after being picked second in the NBA draft behind Greg Oden.
“It’s just a great group of guys, great community, great arena, great fans,” Durant said. “I’m just so happy to be a part of it. I can’t wait to celebrate with my teammates in the locker room.”
Durant drove left, right and down the middle, knocked down 3-pointers, dished and dunked. He knocked down a 17-foot fadeaway over James early in the fourth quarter, then assisted on a 3-pointer by Andre Iguodala the next time down as the Warriors pulled away.
Iguodala, the 2015 Finals MVP, came up big again with his 2017 postseason-best 20 points off the bench and stingy defense on James in a testy, tightly called finale to this trilogy Finals that everyone had stamped on the calendar from the moment Durant departed Oklahoma City to join Curry and Co.
The Warriors won in 2015 before the Cavs made their historic comeback last year. Then it was Golden State’s time again, with Durant as the prized addition.
Durant shot 14 for 20 and Curry — the two-time reigning MVP who took a backseat as the new big star got acclimated — finished off a brilliant postseason. Not to mention a healthy one after his 2016 injuries.
Draymond Green stayed on the court in a game that featured three technicals on one play 3:08 before halftime. David West fought for the ball with Irving, then they got tangled up and Tristan Thompson entered the fray and he and West went at each other face-to-face. West, Thompson and J.R. Smith received techs after a replay review.
Green had sat out this very game a year ago, suspended because of flagrant foul point accumulation after he swiped at James’ groin in Game 4. He had 10 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in the clincher.
With a much-improved bench led by Iguodala, JaVale McGee, Shaun Livingston and West, that “Strength In Numbers” slogan that has become such a staple the past two seasons shined all season long, from Durant’s 19-game absence late in the regular season with a left knee injury to assistant coach Mike Brown stepping in for 11 postseason games to lead the way while Steve Kerr was ailing.
On Monday, Golden State used a 27-4 second-quarter run to take charge — just after it appeared Durant should have been called for a third foul on a basket by James — and got to celebrate right at home in Oakland surrounded by a deafening home crowd waving yellow rally towels and holding up phones to shoot video and photos as the final minute of the clock ticked away.
The buzzer sounded and gold confetti began to fall.
The Warriors became the first Bay Area team to capture a championship at home since the A’s finished the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the 1974 World Series.
A year ago, these Warriors fell short after a record-setting season that included a 24-0 start and 73 victories at the end to break the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ wins.
