Currensy has always been known for his laid‑back delivery and commitment to craft over clout. But Freddie Gibbs’ latest record on Alfredo 2 includes a clear shot at the New Orleans legend, a diss that references their past collaboration, Fetti.
Currensy’s response has been chilled, cool, and dismissive. Without spelling it out as a Q&A, the article will show how Currensy reacted when it looked like Freddie Gibbs was calling him out, giving fans the breakdown on this unexpected hip‑hop exchange.
When Freddie Gibbs dropped Alfredo 2 on July 25, fans immediately dissected “Gas Station Sushi”, track 10. Around the 2:35 mark, Gibbs delivers some pointed lines:
“Could’ve ran that Fetti by myself, b*tch, I’m the best with Al, yeah / B*tch, keep it G, we like on part three… Go start a Chevy up, don’t start me, n‑gga.”
That’s a double‑edged reference: Fetti, the 2018 collab between Currensy, Gibbs, and The Alchemist, and Currensy’s car‑obsessed aesthetic (Chevys, fast living, etc.)
The tension reportedly goes back years, Gibbs allegedly felt snubbed by Currensy’s lack of promotion for Fetti. According to earlier reports, Freddie complained Currensy “didn’t promote or go as hard on their project” and “didn’t shoot one video or do one show”. Gibbs had hinted that he simply moved forward with Alchemist and left Currensy behind.
So how did Currensy handle it? No official press statement or full‑blown lyrical rebuttal—just a smooth pick‑up of the beat. Producer Cash Fargo posted something on Instagram, and under it, Currensy dropped this comment:
“We ain’t trippin hahah send me some beats tho.”
That’s it. The comment says a lot without saying much, it’s defiant, unfazed, and with that signature Currensy nonchalance.
It’s a classic Currensy play: respond in fashion that fits—cool, confident, and slightly humorous. If Gibbs expected a fire‑back or public meltdown, he got something quieter: an emoji‑and‑beatmaker tag that implies he's above the petty rounds of rap beef.
What's the bigger picture here? Freddie may have wanted closure or to make a statement about allegiance to Alchemist over past partnerships. Currensy, meanwhile, reminds us that he’s got bigger things to worry about: making tunes, maintaining momentum, and keeping things smooth with the Alchemist camp.
Of course, hip‑hop loves drama, and fans are already speculating whether this will spark a full‑fledged rap response or if Currensy will let the bar slide off like a Cadillac on wax. But for now, with that understated reply, Currensy simply signals he's not fazed by being mentioned in a diss track.
At the core, this whole exchange circles around those diss track moments in hip‑hop history, where collaborators become competitors and every bar gets replayed a hundred times.
