Rich The Kid and Lil Uzi Vert had a confrontation in Philadelphia a few weeks. According to Billboard, the rappers have been exchanging jabs in a beef not just on social media but, it’s reported, since Rich The Kid “recently topped Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart, has let the conflict spill over into the booth.”

Billboard has a full timeline on the beef which began in January when RTK tweeted, “A couple hours later, the “New Freezer” rapper teased Uzi about his label situation and how he needed to join the 25-year-old’s Rich Forever Music imprint when he had the chance, “That’s why you SHOULDA signed [with] Rich forever.”

The Atlanta rapper shared a a ‘diss’ track on Instagram a few months ago making only thinly veiled references to the “Money Longer” MC. Some suggested before the March 30 drop of ‘The World Is Yours’ it was just promotional. Or maybe not.
