Rick Ross has made it clear that he’s not impressed with the “Freeway’s Revenge” diss record by The Game.
Taking to his Instagram on Friday (May 10), the Biggest Bawse quoted a lyric from “Hate It Or Love It,” a song infamously recorded by 50 Cent and The Game back in 2005. (It should be noted, too, that neither Ross nor the Compton native are cool with the G-Unit boss.)
“Hate It or Love It The underdog on top,” he wrote in the caption — which was Fif’s line in the song — while also tagging the Rick Ross car show.

Though the two have worked together in the past, most notably on “Ali Bomaye” from The Game’s Jesus Piece album, the Compton native appears to have an issue with Rozay’s relentless trolling of Drake in his feud with Kendrick Lamar and co.
Released on Friday (May 10), “Freeway’s Revenge” finds The Game throwing some flagrant shots at the MMG mogul regarding his alleged sexual kinks, weight and health issues, and past stint as a correctional officer.
“You 12 lemon pepper wings from a heart attack/ Akademiks, give this n-gga an Ozempic starter pack,” he raps, before referencing the aforementioned Drizz-K. Dot beef: “This ain’t the Kendrick beef, my Drac’ [Drake] sings songs/ Shots rings out, the neighbor better have his Ring on.”
The Game later accuses Ross of enjoying golden showers and claims former MMG rapper Gunplay knows where the proverbial bodies are buried: “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/ And we know you treat Gunplay like he a peon/ And he knows some shit that ain’t cool for him to speak on.”
After a beat switch, the “Hate It or Love It” hitmaker dedicates much of the second half of the song to dismantling Rozay’s “Biggest Bawse” persona.
I don’t want to hear about no fish tanks and marble floors/ No spiral steps, no swimming pools, no hors d’oeuvres, no Audemars/ No car shows, no pinky rings, no umbrellas in the car doors/ Introduce me and my connect to that Columbian you chopped that raw for,” he raps.
He continues: “Was it fabricated? The lies you tell are getting saturated/ What happened to the birds in the Maserati? They just evaporated?/ Bawse — that shit be too exaggerated/ Fucking with a Compton n-gga, get your head decapitated […] The stories these n-ggas tell/ He gon’ tell us he got a key for every n-gga he locked in a cell.”
After staying quiet for years, The Avalanches have finally returned with something brand new. Their latest single “Together,” released through Modular Recordings, features Nikki Nair, Jessy Lanza, and Prentiss, marking the group’s first original release in close to six years.
Anyone expecting quiet, reflective electronic music or sample heavy Motown inspired textures may be caught off guard by this one. “Together” leans into bright energy and movement, delivering a lively dance driven sound that feels playful, upbeat, and built for packed rooms and late nights.
The Avalanches, currently made up of Robbie Chater, Tony Di Blasi and Andy Szekeres, made a huge impact with their 2000 debut album Since I Left You.
What made the record stand out was its incredible use of sampling, blending fragments from hundreds of recordings by artists including Françoise Hardy, Sérgio Mendes, Raekwon, Wayne and Shuster, and Madonna into something completely unique. Tracks like “Frontier Psychiatrist” and the title song helped establish the album as both nostalgic and futuristic at the same time. According to a statement from the band’s representatives, the project left “a global footprint for collaborative sampology in the 21st century.”
Their second album arrived after an extremely long wait and explored a very different direction creatively. Sixteen years after their debut, The Avalanches released Wildflower, which debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart. Their next project, We Will Always Love You, arrived in 2020 and later earned the Australian Music Prize for Album of the Year.
The group briefly resurfaced again in 2024 through their collaboration with Jamie XX on the song “All You Children” from In Waves.
“Together” appears to be the beginning of another major era for the group. The release is connected to a “Superfun” campaign that features artwork of Chater gaming along with an animated visual for the track. The video brings old technology to life, including an iPod and a diskette, as they wander through a colorful world side by side.
A classic Nokia 3310 also shows up in the video, floating down from above complete with angel wings.
“How are you looking after your memories? At Takumi digital archives your most treasured moments are safe with us,” says the mysterious official statement. Fans are also invited to “visit Takumi today” through the website takumiarchives.com.
Jonathan Zawada directed and animated the music video, which can be streamed below.
