Freddie Gibbs<\/a> has a couple of rap beefs to handle<\/a> under his belt, and perhaps the most notable of them all is his conflict with Benny The Butcher<\/a>. The former collaborators fell out earlier this decade over a shooting joke, an alleged Buffalo beat-down, and more. But some fans thought they were on the cusp of a hatchet burial.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, rumors emerged that Freddie Gibbs and Benny The Butcher might’ve reconciled<\/a> due to a Parisian airport meeting that recently surfaced online. For the record, it’s still pretty unclear when exactly this happened. Some like Westside Gunn<\/a> suggested this was a neutral moment of peace and possible reconciliation, and others were less optimistic. But what do the artists themselves have to say?<\/p>\n

Benny’s been quiet, but Freddie addressed the situation in an interview with Complex’s<\/a> Jordan Rose, in which he accompanied The Alchemist<\/a> to talk about their new album Alfredo 2. When Rose asked about the run-in with The Butcher and about when it happened, Gibbs didn’t specify the timeframe, but he did go into more detail than expected.<\/p>\n

Freddie Gibbs Benny The Butcher Beef<\/p>\n

“I’ma say this: I mean, you saw me standing there,” Freddie Gibbs remarked concerning Benny The Butcher.<\/a> “I was just in the airport. Everything that everybody tried to make out of it, that wasn’t true. I barely even said a word, I was just standing there. I saw them, was standing there. Of course, we ain’t a friendship; what we gon’ do?<\/a> I ain’t going to jail over that, so, y’all do y’all thing. Only thing I really said was, ‘Aye, man, this ain’t the time or the place.’ I just tried to keep it gangster. <\/p>\n

“I was on my way to London to meet up with [The Alchemist] and get a bag, so I ain’t about to f**k my bag up f***ing with no n***as,” Freddie went on. “A lot of this rap s**t be on some WWF s**t, so I don’t get into that. I ain’t never even spoke to Westside Gunn, so I don’t know where all that comes from. I don’t know, I didn’t even really look at that s**t, I looked at the s**t and I saw people was talking about it and I was like, ‘Oh, yeah. There’s some more fake s**t.’ It wasn’t nothing that everybody was making it out to be. I was just standing there with my arms folded up, bro. I barely said a word, so… But them n***as into that wrestling s**t, so they do that. I don’t wrestle.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Freddie Gibbs has a couple of rap beefs to handle under his belt, and perhaps the most notable…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106890,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[22365,7986,60875,49,48,361,75,60876,5321,341,44,9551],"class_list":["post-106889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-airport","tag-beef","tag-benny-the-butcher","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-freddie-gibbs","tag-hip-hop-news","tag-music","tag-news","tag-rap-beef"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106889"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106889\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
