Rappers Quavo and Chris Brown Fuel Ongoing Rivalry with New Diss Tracks

Context of the Crossfire

Rappers Quavo and Chris Brown are currently involved in a heated dispute, primarily over their past relationships. The conflict escalated when Chris Brown criticized Quavo with the track “Weakest Link”, to which Quavo retaliated with his own response, “Over Hoes & B*tches.”

Visual Assault and Musical Retort

Quavo took an infamous image of Brown in which he appeared to choke a woman. Brown insisted the action was a brotherly playful act, without any violent intent. Quavo altered this image by substituting his face with Brown’s and superimposing Brown’s on the woman, thereby escalating the conflict.

The quarrel has been given further fuel by multiple tracks released between the two. It all began with Brown’s “Freak” from his 11:11 (Deluxe) album. Quavo retorted with his song “Tender”, which prompted Brown to release “Weakest Link”. The response from Quavo has been “Over Hoes & B*tches.”

The pair’s songs often mention Karrueche Tran, Chris Brown’s ex-girlfriend, who was rumored to have dated Quavo post her breakup with Brown in 2015. However, Tran denied these claims. Both rappers also made references to their respective accusations of domestic violence, including an incident with Saweetie, allegedly involving Brown whilst she was dating Quavo.

Brown’s Response and the Track Lyrics

Brown reacted to Quavo’s diss by characterizing the lyrics as “Google Raps” and dismissing them as less significant. It is still uncertain whether Brown plans to respond adequately.

The DPH Hot Take

In our DPH hot take, we would like to emphasize that this ongoing feud between Quavo and Chris Brown highlights an unfortunate aspect of the hip-pop scene, and that is the focus on conflict rather than creativity. Music should ideally be about unity and expression, but it seems these two artists are choosing to focus their energy on personal disputes and controversy. This form of rivalry, while it may generate temporary attention, can potentially harm the overall artistic journey and their public image. We off to the artists involved to consider reconciling their differences and rechanneling their energies into further expanding their creative horizons.
