Gucci Mane’s entrance was nothing short of electrifying, as the crowd erupted in cheers at the sight of “1017” displayed on the screen. Gucci treated fans to an array of hits including “Lemonade,” “Wasted,” and “Freaky Girl.” A highlight of his performance was when he brought his wife, Keyshia Ka’oir, on stage to dance to “Freaky Girl,” dazzling the audience with her glamorous outfit.

Dru Hill also left a lasting impression, celebrating their 25th anniversary with a performance that felt like a nostalgic trip back to the ’90s. They paid tribute to the late DMX, encouraging fans to “put your X’s up” during a spirited rendition of “What These B****es Want.” Hits like “Beauty,” “These Are The Times,” and “In My Bed” had the crowd singing along in unison.

Summer Walker’s performance was another standout, opening with a striking electric guitar riff. Her set included hits like “Session 32,” “You Don’t Know What Love Is,” “Playing Games,” and “Over It,” enhanced by stunning lighting in shades of purple, pink, and gold. She was joined on stage by guest artists, including Dallas native 4batz, who gifted her a large Louis Vuitton bag, and Tink, who performed “Treat Me Like Somebody.”

Memorable Moments and Star-Studded Sightings

The festival wasn’t just about the music. Kenyon Dixon mingled with fans in the VIP section, posing for photos and signing autographs. Houston’s Tajah The DJ, and K104’s Tre G and Kayla Brinkley were spotted among the VIPs, along with Jason Lyric.

Latto kept the energy high, performing her hits and engaging with the audience by tossing water bottles into the crowd, much to their delight. Her dynamic presence added to the festival’s exhilarating atmosphere.

A Grand Finale by Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne closed out the festival with a captivating set that left fans in awe. His performance included a comprehensive catalog of his greatest hits, providing a perfect end to an unforgettable weekend. As the final notes echoed through Fair Park, attendees knew they had witnessed something special.

In preparation for her new album, “Houston Hottie” Megan Thee Stallion dropped a mean freestyle over a classic Gucci Mane beat to introduce her new “Megan May” freestyle series.

Thee Stallion dropped a hot sixteen over Gucci’s 2010 “I Think I Love Her” track to kick off #MeganMonday and added the snakeskin concept of her new release by shedding her skin and clothing last week in an image she posted on IG.

“Hotties it’s officially MEGAN MAY [snake emoji] Get ready,” she wrote.

Megan is slated to start her Hot Girl Summer tour with Glorilla on May 14 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and will make its way through major cities in the United States before it heads overseas in July.

Erica Banks Wants To Go Freestyle For Freestyle With Megan Thee Stallion

Erica Banks is no stranger to the medium of freestyling. Just earlier this year she used it to clap back at her haters by borrowing her own lines. When critics came for her “Get Silly” freestyle back in January she had all the right answers ready to go. She recently took to Instagram to share a video of her freestyle over Gucci Mane’s “I Think I Love Her” celebrating the fan reception of her performance. But in the comments a fan couldn’t help but bring up someone else who also tried their hand at freestyling over the song.

That someone else is Megan Thee Stallion, who also dropped her take on the track to Instagram. “oh she must wanna go freestyle for freestyle?!? Nobody seeing erica” one of the top comments on Banks’ post reads. She eventually pinned the comment to the post, essentially cosigning the sentiment expressed. In the comments of an Instagram post recapping the whole affair, fans debate who would come out on top. “Erica is talented & nobody could ever say different. However! She will always be the TEMU version of MEGAN” one of the top comments on the post reads. “Erica ate & won hands down!!! but I’m sure y’all gon’ say it was Megan, cause that’s y’all Victim Queen” another comment disagrees. Check out the ongoing debate between the two freestylers below.

What Did Gucci Mane Say About Diddy In His New Diss Song?

Hip-hop’s unofficial War of the Roses saw a new combatant enter the fray this week. However, rather than jumping into the dust-up between Drake and Kendrick Lamar or inserting himself into any of the other (many) existing fracases, Gucci Mane instead decided to pile onto the absolute sh*tstorm of trouble currently plaguing Sean “Diddy” Combs. In his new song “TakeDat,” Gucci Mane turns the beleaguered mogul into a frequent punchline, reproducing iconic Bad Boy music videos in his own video for “TakeDat.” So, what does Gucci Mane have to say about Diddy in “TakeDat?”

Well throughout the chorus, Gucci chants the newly-coined colloquialism “no Diddy” as he lists his various accomplishments and claims to fame. Among them: “We gettin’ higher than a kite,” “See my artists double plat,” and “Couple n****s got whacked.” Each is accompanied by another evocation of the refrain.

But in the first verse is where things get really spicy, as Gucci boasts, “I got a young Miami bitch from the city / I’m spendin’ money like a trick, no Diddy / I rock pissy yellow diamonds, no Diddy / But she can’t be underage, no Diddy.” This quatrain references Diddy’s potentially transactional relationship with City Girls rapper Yung Miami, Combs’ alleged affinity for watersports, and at least one of the many sexual misconduct suits against him, in which he’s accused of having sex with an underage girl.

Later in the verse, Gucci also calls back to Cassie’s assertion that Diddy had Kid Cudi’s car bombed in a fit of jealousy, Suge Knight’s 1995 Source Awards “come to Death Row” taunt about “the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the record, dancing,” and the longstanding rumor that Diddy had his artist The Notorious B.I.G. set up and murdered to capitalize on his posthumous record sales.

You can check out the full lyrics for “TakeDat” here.

Leave it to Gucci Mane. Big Guwop is back with a new single, taking the “No Diddy” phrase trending online and making it into a new song. After stating that a couple of people were killed and he was in a room full of hoes, Gucci continues to chant “No Diddy” to show the difference between his movements and those of Puff.

Additionally, the video recreates a moment where women surround Diddy in a hot tub. You can see clips, comparisons, and the full video below.

50 Cent Endorses Gucci Mane’s Diddy Diss: “That’s What You Get!”

50 Cent is not letting up. The rapper has been the propagator of the phrase “No Diddy” on social media, as a means of clowning disgraced mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. He’s used it on during interviews and IG captions, but the phrase reached new levels of attention on April 24 when Gucci Mane dropped the song “TakeDat.” Gucci goes at the Bad Boy founder for four minutes straight by saying “No Diddy” after every line, and 50 absolutely loved it. He was such a fan of Gucci’s diss, in fact, that he reposted it on his own Instagram profile with an endorsement.

“Oh sh*t,” 50 wrote in the caption. “Wop took dat hit. This 🥷🏾Diddy POPPED.” Nobody has been more openly critical of Diddy than 50, especially once the criminal allegations started to roll in. He posted pics from the raid on Diddy’s house in March, and even found time to praise a woman holding a “No Diddy” sign during a ceremony in Shreveport. The “21 Questions” rapper added insult to injury by talking to Diddy directly in the caption. “That’s what you get f*cking wit me,” he added. Fans flocked to the comment section, suggesting that 50 hop on the “TakeDat” remix.

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

50 Cent and Gucci Mane have historically been on the same. 50 supported the Atlanta legend when he dropped a diss track against Jeezy titled “Rumors” in 2022. The track had a bar referencing the “ghost of Pookie,” and 50 hopped on Instagram Live to rap along while doing his best Gucci Mane impression. 50 had previously had beef with Young Jeezy himself, so there was no love lost between rivals. 50 and Gucci, who have often been compared to one another, also collaborated on the 2013 song “Recently.”

The G-Unit mogul is continuing his anti-Diddy campaign behind the scenes. In December, he announced plans to release a documentary focusing on Diddy’s various sexual crimes. “The Diddy documentary is in development through G-Unit Film and Television with 50 serving as executive producer,” a rep said. The proceeds from the documentary will be donated to victims of sexual assault and rape. A release date has not yet been announced.

Gucci Mane Ruthlessly Disses Diddy On ‘TakeDat,’ Which He Deemed The ‘Hardest Song Of The Summer’

Since last November, Diddy has been at the center of several very troubling allegations and lawsuits. Most recently, Homeland Security raided his Los Angeles and Miami residences. Thus, countless people are taking the opportunity to air their unfiltered opinions on Diddy, including 50 Cent, Kesha, Katt Williams, and Mase.

Add Gucci Mane to the list. On Wednesday, April 24, the Atlanta-bred rapper dropped “TakeDat,” a four-minute song that ruthlessly mocks Diddy. The first line uttered is, “I’m just f*cking around, but no Diddy.” Throughout the song, more or less every bar is punctuated with “No Diddy,” such as, “I got a Yung Miami b*tch from the city / I’m spendin’ money like a trick (No Diddy),” and “But she can’t be underage (No Diddy).”

The accompanying video finds Gucci Mane in a jacuzzi, surrounded by women. If the scene looks familiar, that’s because Gucci Mane not-so-subtly recreated Diddy’s scene from The Notorious B.I.G.’s 1994 “Big Poppa” video. And just in case there’s any confusion as to whether this was absolutely, one-hundred percent intentional, Gucci Mane posted a side-by-side image on Instagram alongside the caption, “Hardest song of the summer #TAKEDAT.”

Elsewhere in the video, Gucci Mane rides a motorcycle while delivering perhaps the song’s biggest blow to Diddy (and, unfortunately, the Detroit Pistons caught a stray): “Why you ain’t ever seen Wop at the brunch? / ‘Cause they might spike the punch, man, that sh*t too risky / Rule No. 1, never be too friendly / These industry n***** have bad intentions / I don’t trust nobody, and I stay my distance / Plus, your whole team suck, like the Detroit Pistons.”

Gucci Mane Bombs On Diddy With New Diss Track “TakeDat”

There wasn’t enough feuding in hip-hop, so Gucci Mane decided to get in on the act. The Atlanta legend dropped a surprise track on April 24 titled “TakeDat,” but even more surprising than the drop was the aim of the track. “TakeDat” is blatant diss at at Sean “Diddy” Combs, complete with a music video and cover art that mocks Diddy’s most iconic moments. Gucci does not hold back in the rapping department, as he references several of the mogul’s alleged crimes in his lyrics.

“TakeDat” may not sound like a diss based on the intro, but the target immediately becomes clear in the opening verse. Gucci raps about earning platinum plaques for his artists and taking out his ops, ending each of his bars with the phrase “No Diddy.” The phrase “No Diddy” was popularized by 50 Cent on X (formerly Twitter), but Gucci went the extra mile by making it the chorus of a song. “We gettin’ higher than a kite, no Diddy,” he raps during the opener. “See my artists double plaque, no Diddy. Sippin’ on yak, no Diddy. Couple n**gas got whacked, no Diddy. “Keep the shooters with the strap, no Diddy.”

Gucci Mane Uses Diddy’s Catchphrase To Clown Him

The music video sees Gucci Mane recreate an iconic scene from The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Big Poppa” video. Diddy posted up in a bathtub with women in the 1994 video, and Gucci responds by doing the same thing while shouting “No Diddy.” There are references to Diddy-assisted classics like “Mo Money Mo Problems,” but the simpler lines prove to be most effective. Gucci makes fun of Diddy “dancin’ like a ho” and getting his “a*s touched” before coming back with the chorus. “TakeDat” does get repetitive by the end of its four-minute runtime, but it is ultimately an effective diss.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new diss, “TakeDat” by Gucci Mane? Does Gucci Mane effectively body Sean “Diddy” Combs? Do you like the rhyme scheme and chorus of the track? Do you think Diddy will get a chance to respond? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

Diamonds dancin’ on my chest, no Diddy
But I blow a n**ga car up like he Curtis (Huh?)
I’m on the yacht, takin’ shots, no Diddy (Woah)
Pay for top from the thot, no Diddy (Damn)
Some n**gas wanna boss me, I’m not 50 (Uh-uh)
But get a n**ga a*s touched like Biggie, no Diddy

Martin was a guest on the Rubbing is Racing podcast, where he discussed his career, among other things. The retired NASCAR great got to talking about his musical tastes and professed his love of Gucci Mane’s music. “I’ma tell you right now, in my opinion, there is no one in the same zip code as Gucci Mane,” said Martin. He continued, “If I rapped, I would never do a duo with him. Every time he does one with anybody, he just crushes them. I mean, this guy is unbelievable.” He explained that he prefers the old Gucci to the new Gucci, saying he liked it when he was “fat and scary.”

Martin explained his rap evolution, saying it started with Dr. Dre in the early 2000s. Then, from Dre, he shifted to Eminem. The NASCAR great discovered Gucci Mane from one of his son’s friends and never looked back. He was heavy into the music, saying he had to download mixtapes because you couldn’t find Wops stuff on iTunes. A 65-year-old NASCAR great being a Gucci Mane fan is surprising, but it’s also really cool. Mark Martin is a real one, for sure.
