For years, Freddie Gibbs and Benny The Butcher’s issues have been one of the most talked about rifts in hip hop. The tension, which traces back to a shooting joke and a reported run-in in Buffalo, has left fans constantly debating if the two could ever find common ground. That speculation flared up again after a video surfaced of the two rappers crossing paths at a Paris airport.
The clip had many fans buzzing, with some suggesting the moment looked like a truce in the making. Even Westside Gunn appeared to see it as a possible sign that the bad blood was easing. On the other hand, plenty of fans doubted the encounter was anything more than coincidence.
Benny The Butcher has stayed quiet on the matter, but Freddie Gibbs decided to set the record straight. While speaking with Complex’s Jordan Rose, alongside producer The Alchemist to promote their upcoming project Alfredo 2, Gibbs directly addressed the talk swirling online.
