In a bold move that has the hip-hop community buzzing, The Game has released a new diss track titled “Freeway’s Revenge,” taking direct aim at fellow rapper Rick Ross. The song, which dropped on May 10, 2024, is a fiery addition to the ongoing rap wars and marks a significant escalation in the tension between the two artists.
The Game, a native of Compton, is no stranger to the rap game’s competitive nature. However, his latest track goes beyond the usual lyrical sparring, with pointed jabs at Ross’s personal life, health, and past career as a correctional officer. Lines like “You 12 lemon pepper wings from a heart attack” and “Akademiks, give this n-gga an Ozempic starter pack” showcase The Game’s unapologetic approach to the feud.
The diss track also references the ongoing beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, with The Game making it clear that his issues with Ross are separate from the larger industry conflict. He accuses Ross of enjoying golden showers and suggests that former MMG rapper Gunplay has incriminating information on Ross, rapping, “Your baby mama told me that you liked to get peed on/ You a C.O., that’s the last time you had keys on.”
“Freeway’s Revenge” doesn’t hold back in its second half either, as The Game dismantles Ross’s “Biggest Bawse” persona with lines that question the authenticity of Ross’s lavish lifestyle and alleged criminal connections. The song’s title itself is a pointed reference to “Freeway” Ricky Ross, the drug lord who sued the Florida rapper over the use of his name.
Adding to the controversy, The Game uploaded an AI-generated image to his Instagram Stories depicting Ross in a tight police uniform, fleeing from a KFC restaurant with a bucket of chicken, further ridiculing his former collaborator.
As of now, Rick Ross has not publicly responded to the track. The Game’s bold statements and the provocative nature of “Freeway’s Revenge” have certainly set the stage for what could be one of the most heated exchanges in recent hip-hop history.
This diss track follows a series of subliminal messages from The Game aimed at Ross, including a jab at Ross’s Wingstop franchise and comments on his physique. With the rap community eagerly awaiting a response, it remains to be seen how this beef will unfold.
