After nearly a decade, Freddie Gibbs and Jeezy are back on solid ground following the two squashing their longstanding beef dating back to when the former was signed to the latter.
During a recent interview with Bootleg Kev, Gibbs detailed running into Jeezy at the airport and how they hugged it out after running into one anothe
“I seen him at the airport. Damn, that’s crazy bro. World premiere, n-gga,” he began. “I seen Jeezy at the airport with his wife. I was with my girl. We shook hands and hugged and was just like, ‘Man, salute.’ It was just, like, ‘Damn.’ It was a relief for both of us, I feel like."
“We exchanged numbers and we both got on a plane and that was it. It was one of the most beautiful things ever, I think. I been put it behind me, but I had to, like, see him. And then when you look back, man, it wasn’t really nothing. That was fucking a music disagreement.”
Gibbs added, “I didn’t really have nothing against Jeezy; I looked up to Jeezy. Jeezy one of my favorite rappers. I learned a lot from him. I learned how to really carry myself in this rap game by being around him. So I think that was just a misunderstanding, a miscommunication.”
“It ain’t like all this other shit with these other little f*** n****s. When I see them, I’ma slap the f*** out of them,” he said. “But it’d be times where we’d be in the same places — it’s the rap game, of course — but it wasn’t nothing violent happening or no shit like that or nobody was disrespecting each other too bad."
“We said things, but for the most part, we both men and I think that we was both trying to get our points across and just communicated it badly. And I take the blame for that ’cause I should have just sat tight and let my work speak for itself instead of speaking on it publicly at all.”
He continued: “I think what really set me off is when they asked him about me publicly. I wish he would have just deflected that. But then I took that shit too far. I look at that situation as another learning experience. That was something that I needed in my career. I needed that opposition, so to speak.”
