The hip-hop world is currently losing its mind after The Game surprisingly dropped a diss track by the name of “Freeway’s Revenge” targeting Rick Ross. However, rather than the common social media circus, Ross reacted in a way that perplexed everyone areas… a bowl? Let’s clarify the most current clash in this extended conflict.
On May 10 th, “Freeway’s Revenge”, a diss track on Rick Ross, was played on DJ Akademiks’ live. The song bashes Ross for narrative embellishing, pretended wealth, and biting the Game and Biggie Smalls in terms of rap style. It also takes a shot at Ross’ past occupation of a correctional officer as well as implies his close relationships with the Fremont Boys and Group. The Game even through a sickle sentence about Ross’ health, a low blow even in a diss battle.
However, the line aimed at Ross’s material wealth certainly raised some eyebrows: “Niggas starvin’.” Since Ross has an estimated net worth of $150 million in comparison to The Game’s $10 million, most take it as a diss on Ross’s part. The sudden attack from The Game appears to have a reason behind it – his stance on the ongoing beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The Game thinks that Rick Ross has been trolling Drake more than enough and his new diss track is a clear sign of whose side he is on.
The Game’s lyrics hit below the belt with references to sensitive topics. He mocks Ross’s health struggles and even throws out accusations about golden showers, implying shady activities. There’s also a clever wordplay referencing Drake (“birds”) and his OVO symbol (often depicted as an owl) while suggesting Ross lied about selling drugs.
Unlike his usual social media presence, Rick Ross has remained silent on the diss track. However, he did post a short video clip that has everyone confused. In the clip, Ross holds up a luxurious Louis Vuitton bowl and simply says, “These n*ggas starving.” Is this his way of responding to The Game’s “starving” comment? Is he flaunting his wealth? The internet is buzzing with theories.

“This is classic hip-hop beef,” says Marcus “Hip-Hop Doc” Jackson, a self-proclaimed hip-hop analyst. “The Game’s lyrics are vicious, but Rick Ross’s response is interesting. It’s a power move – a subtle way of reminding everyone of his wealth while staying above the fray. It will be fascinating to see how this plays out.”
Social media is divided. Some fans praise The Game’s aggression, while others criticize his tactics. Rick Ross’s silence has some fans intrigued, while others believe he should respond with a diss track of his own.
Will Rick Ross drop a diss track? Will this escalate further? Only time will tell. One thing’s for sure: the hip-hop world is watching with bated breath.
