Freddie Gibbs Squashes Longtime Beef With Jeezy

Freddie Gibbs Says Beef With Jeezy Is Over

After years of beefing, former CTE rapper Freddie Gibbs says his beef with Jeezy is over. “I seen him at the airport. Damn, that’s crazy bro. World premiere, n-gga,” he told Bootleg Kev.

“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 f-cking a music disagreement.”

Gibbs fought to get off the label in 2012 after signing with Jeezy in 2011. The beef turned nasty and resulted in them dissing each other on wax and in interviews.

“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,” Gibbs added.

Gibbs signed with Young Jeezy’s CTE World and released a number of mixtapes through the label, including 2012’s highly acclaimed Baby Face Killa.

After leaving CTE in early 2013, Gibbs formed his own label, ESGN, which was also the name of his debut studio album released in June of that year. Since then, he has gone on to release four solo studio albums, as well as four collaborative albums, two with Madlib (as MadGibbs).
