The hip-hop world is abuzz following the most recent chapter in the never-ending feud between Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman and rapper Rick Ross. What started off as a diss track took an alternative turn when Rick Ross called out Birdman for being on financial instabilities and rocking every ab fakes. In a very heated response, Birdman has come out guns blazing to rubbish the claims by asserting his authenticity and realness in terms of his finances.
Cash Money Birdman denies Rick Ross’ claims he wears fake jewelry:

Birdman did not hold anything back in responding to Rick Ross’ accusations. In a video that is now going viral, he said emphatically, “I ain’t never been no n-gga in my life to wear no fake jewelry, Blood. …Ngga btch made to say I wore fake jewelry. Ngga pssy.” That was an aggressive response to the rumors swirling around him—Birdman frustrated, determined to have his name cleared.
Ross has gone public with his disses toward Birdman, taking highly publicized shots at both the financial situation of Birdman and his genuineness as a person. Ross stated that it was Birdman who owed him $12 million due to a loan default that opened foreclosure proceedings against his Miami mansion. Ross also said, mockingly, that he was going to buy the house off Birdman—fanning flames in the rivalry.
Although Birdman, once estimated to be worth $110 million, really did fight against issues with his money—foreclosure on his Miami mansion and rumors swirling about his financial dependence on his purported partner, Toni Braxton—generally described a scenario of instability in finances. With these, Birdman has continuously denied any reports regarding him sporting fake jewelry or, worse, being financially broke.
This beef between Birdman and Rick Ross dates back to a much larger scheme of tussles occurring within the hip-hop community, where artists regularly go after each other on personal and financial grounds. This rivalry is many years old and represents the competitive, really disputable nature of the industry. Both have taken their platform to throw shots at each other, taking this thing to another level and keeping fans on their toes.
