Gillie Da Kid recently shared who he would want to headline the next edition of Gillie Fest. The Philadelphia rapper responded by saying he wants the headliners to be NBA YoungBoy and Lil Durk. YoungBoy has since responded, confirming his intention to perform.
Gille Fest 2
In a recent episode of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game Podcast on Dec. 4, a fan called in and asked who he would want as his two headliners for Gillie Fest 2, which is set to take place in 2024, he responded, saying:
“If I could have two people as headliners at Gillie Fest, it would be NBA Youngboy and Lil Durk,” Gillie said.
Gille’s co-host, Wallo267 suggested rap stars Kanye West and Drake, or possibly Travis Scott and Drake.
‘Rap Beef Isn’t That Serious’?
When asked why he would pick those two, Gille said he would like to show kids that rap beef isn’t’ that serious and it could be resolved to please the crowd.
“If both of them can hit the stage in the same night and can show the youngins that shit aint that serious. The beef ain’t that serious. None of this drama aint that serious. Nothing we got going on that serious. It’s all about giving the fans what they want and making money.”
Neither Gillie nor Wallo confirmed a date for the next Gillie Fest.
Users on Twitter (X) reacted to Gillie’s suggestion with one user named @itsmattnow commenting, “People actually died from both sides. It’s definitely that serious,” and one other user named @tonydavisthedj commented, “Maaan it’s gone be somebody’s last SHOW!
YoungBoy Responds
NBA YoungBoy responded the next day by saying he talks with Lil Durk and if his probation officers let him off of house arrest he’ll perform.
“OG, I talk to Durk like every two [or] three nights. He be trying to talk to me about my music and he focused on a billion dollars right now. Get em to let me out this house, I’ll hit that stage for you. How you want me to come? Every chain or just one chain.”
NBA Youngboy have been beefing for several years, but it intensified in 2020 when Chicago rapper and Lil Durk affiliate King Von was shot and killed by Timothy Leeks, who is an affiliate of rapper Quando Rondo, who is friends with NBA Youngboy.
Lil Durk has not responded to Gillie or Youngboy’s statements.
YoungBoy’s Past Beefs
In Feb. 2022, NBA YoungBoy dissed Lil Durk and other rappers on the song “I Hate YoungBoy.”
The Louisiana native also released another diss track titled “F*ck The Industry Part 2.” Other rappers he targeted were J.Cole, Drake, and Lil Yachty.
Another rapper NBA YoungBoy had a feud with but later reconciled with was South Florida rapper Kodak Black. In Jan. 2023, through a FaceTime conversation, the two rappers resolved their dispute that originated in 2017 when Yak believed he was targeted in YoungBoy’s track “Time Never Mattered.”
Latto Addresses Female Rap Beefs
Male rappers often find themselves involved in feuds, a trend also observed among female rappers. Atlanta rapper Latto shared in an interview with XXL Magazine that it is often the fans who engage in beef more than the artists themselves, leading to divisive fan bases.
