Rick Ross has suggested that Drake outsourced for his feature verse on Travis Scott‘s 2018 hit “SICKO MODE” as their beef continues to intensify.
Taking to his Instagram Story to continue taunting his new nemesis on Saturday night (April 13), Rozay made a bold claim during a night out in the club just as the blockbuster collaboration came on.
“Who wrote this? Guess who wrote this? You would never guess who wrote this,” he said with a menacing laugh.
Watch the video below:
Rick Ross’ ex-girlfriend Tia Kemp, with whom he co-parents a child, is also looking to join the beef as she recently claimed to have something that will help the Canadian superstar in his back and forth with his peer.
During a recent Instagram Live last week, she petitioned for Drizzy’s attention with: “Drake! Call me, boo. I got something to tell you.”
She went on to joke that although the 6 God had called for Ross to “drop and give me fifty” in a recent diss track, “He can’t. He probably could give him four.”
Kemp also said that Rozay, who reportedly owns over 30 Wingstop outlets, is in fact far less invested in the business than people think as she claimed he sold all but “one or two” of his fast-food restaurants.
HipHopDX has reached out to Wingstop for clarification, but has not received an answer as of this writing.
Another one of the rapper’s former partners sent shots his way.
After being mentioned on Drake’s song “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50),” Ross fired back at his former collaborator, through his music as well as social media.
Most notably, he unleashed “Champagne Moments” late last week, accusing him of getting a nose job to appear less Black with the bar: “You ain’t never want to be a n-gga anyway, n-gga/ That’s why you had a operation to make your nose smaller than your father nose, n-gga.”
Soon after, he went on Instagram to further emphasize the nose job accusations as he posted two photos of the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker side by side to illustrate that his nose had shrunk.
“The bridge of your nose somehow got smaller BBL Drizzy @champagnepapi,” he wrote underneath the images. “Drop a response or tell the kids you don’t respond. #bbldrizzy.”

Benzino knows how to drum up controversy. The former editor of The Source Magazine has made a career out of it. Few people would know he was a rapper were it not for his highly-publicized beef with Eminem during the 2000s. Unfortunately, Benzino's knack for making bold statements has come back to bite him. He recently went on the We In Miami podcast, where he declared that R Kelly should be given a second chance despite his heinous crimes. This proved to be the last straw for Benzino's daughter, Coi Leray, who publicly denounced their relationship.
Leray posted an X (formerly Twitter) thread on May 1 to clarify her stance on Benzino's comments. She did not mention R. Kelly by name, but it was obvious she did not agree with her father. "I want everybody to know I want nothing to do with anything my father has going on," she wrote. "I haven’t spoken to him in over a year and I don’t condone or respect any of them interviews he got going on." The rapper went on to explain that she does even want to be associated with Benzino in the future. "I don’t respect his decisions," she added. "I want nothing to do with him please don't even think of me when you see him."
Coi Leray doubled down on her feelings towards her father in a second tweet. "Sharing the same DNA and blood doesn't make us family," she noted. "Loyalty, boundaries, respect, teaching, guidance, love, patience, encouragement makes us family... Keep me away from people who try to 'get their lick back' please." The rapper then told followers that she looks forward to having a child of her own so that she could put what she's learned into practice. "I can’t wait to have a kid one day," she concluded. "I can’t wait to look her/him in the eye and tell them how much I love them."
As sad as this exchange is, Benzino and Coi Leray's estrangement is not surprising. The father and daughter have gone through a very public cycle of beefing and then making up over the years. Leray criticized Benzino for harassing her mother back in 2022, and went against her father when he tried to revive his beef with Eminem the same year. "Let’s build bridges and get over them before you burn the bridge and burn with it," she said at the time. Unfortunately, the time for building bridges with Benzino seems to have come to an end.
