Rich Homie Quan Made A $10 Million Challenge To Roddy Ricch After He Allegedly Had His Verse Removed From A Song

Rich Homie Quan was reportedly supposed to have a verse on DJ Drama’s latest album, according to HotNewHipHop. However, he had a noticeable lack of inclusion on the tracklist’s features — and he is now blaming Roddy Ricch as the reason why. He was allegedly supposed to be another verse on “FMFU” with Drama, Ricch, Gucci Mane, and Lil Wayne.

Because of this, Rich Homie Quan offered his unfiltered thoughts on an Instagram Live broadcast.

“I f*ck with Gucci,” he said. “My verse harder than Gucci Mane. Wayne killed that mothaf*cka. Man, my sh*t was harder than Roddy,” he exclaimed. “Then, they say, ‘We ain’t trying to start no industry sh*t. Roddy Ricch wanted you off the song.’ I ain’t even met Roddy!”

Rich Homie Quan then throws some disses toward Ricch before offering him a challenge. He was so confident in the strength of his deleted verse that he’d bet “$10 million to his $1 million.”

“Roddy got that ‘Box’ song. I bet his catalog can’t f*ck with mine,” he continued. “That’s on all the money he got in the bank.”

“Since you wanted me off the song, man, let’s go back-and-forth, catalog to catalog,” Rich Homie Quan challenged. “You ain’t got nothing but the ‘Box’ sh*t because all that other sh*t wack.”

Rich Homie Quan Snaps On Roddy Ricch For Removing His Verse From DJ Drama’s Album

by

DJ Drama delivered his latest album, I’m Really Like That on Friday with a line-up of superstar features. Artists like Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, and more appear across the tracklist, though there are certainly several others who didn’t make the final cut. Rich Homie Quan, for example, reportedly had a verse on the project but in a recent video, he accused Roddy Ricch of removing him from the song. Roddy appears on “FMFU” with Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne, but allegedly, the Compton rapper personally requested to have RHQ’s verse removed entirely.

Rich Homie Quan aired out his issues on Instagram Live this morning where he claimed Roddy asked to have the “Lifestyle” rapper taken off the record. Quan said that someone told him they were going to take a “different route” with the record, though he feels like he had one of the better verse on the song. “I fuck with Gucci. My verse harder than Gucci Mane. Wayne killed that mothafucka. Man, my shit was harder than Roddy,” he exclaimed. “Then, they say, ‘We ain’t trying to start no industry sh*t. Roddy wanted you off the song.’ I ain’t even met Roddy!”

Rich Homie Quan Bets His Catalog Against Roddy Ricch

Rich Homie Quan went on to explain that he didn’t even know there was any friction between them. However, he challenged the Compton rapper to basically do a Verzuz against him. “Roddy got that ‘Box’ song. I bet his catalog can’t fuck with mine,” he continued. “That song’s all the money he got in the bank.” RHQ said that he’d put his “$10 million to his $1 million” to prove that it was the wrong decision to remove him from “FMFU.”

The “Type Of Way” rapper continued to state that Roddy Ricch doesn’t have much else in his catalog besides “The Box,” which has since gone Diamond. “Since you wanted me off the song, man, let’s go back-and-forth, catalog to catalog. You ain’t got nothing but the “Box” shit because all that other sh*t wack.” Ultimately, Rich Homie Quan felt like Roddy Ricch could’ve simply called him and informed him of the decision instead of doing it behind his back. “I ain’t got no problem with Drama ‘nem. I’m just sayin’. If they say Roddy took me off, I don’t want to fight. N***a, hard drive to hard drive. You can’t f*ck with me, boy.” Check out his statements above. 

Roddy Ricch On Social Media Pressure From Fans: ‘Jesus Only Had 12 Disciples, And I Ain’t No Where Near Jesus’

When Roddy Ricch dropped “The Box” at the end of 2019, he couldn’t have had a clue how the next year would play out. The single, which was dropped after the album’s release, upended the social order of the Billboard charts and held onto the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 for 11 weeks in 2020. It’s already diamond-certified and its success seemingly signaled the birth of a new superstar who would reign over hip-hop for the foreseeable future.

By the same time the next year, those same fans are social media had declared his new album, Live Life Fast, DOA, and Roddy himself washed up. (Even worse, he’s currently facing a copyright infringement lawsuit over the song that supercharged his ascent, filed at the end of 2022.) Roddy suddenly saw himself dealing with both the gift and the curse of social media.

Incidentally, that’s the title of the Roddy-focused episode of RapCaviar Presents, which started streaming on Hulu today. The episode (which features yours truly as a talking head) addresses Roddy’s love-hate relationship with social media — something we touched on in Uproxx’s cover story about him — with Roddy commenting on how unnatural it all seems to him.

At the 21-minute mark of the episode, Roddy says, “A lot of people don’t have to deal with more than 10 people. So just imagine seven million that see your posts every day… Jesus only had 12 disciples, and I ain’t nowhere near Jesus… Let me be great, man.”

Check out the full Roddy Ricch episode and the rest of the RapCaviar Presents series on Hulu.

Blxst & Roddy Ricch’s First Collab Will Have You Feeling “Passionate”

by

We’re only two New Music Fridays into March, and already, we’re impressed with the quality of work our favourite artists have been sharing this month. Last weekend, projects from Kali Uchis, Dreamville, and Masego stole the spotlight. This time around, it was Conway the Machine who came through for rap lovers, and Blxst who held it down for any R&B fanatics out there.

The latter didn’t deliver a full-length project, though he did treat fans to a four-pack EP called Just For Clarity 2 featuring the previously released “Keep Calling” with Larry June. Blxst operates solo on “Call My Bluff,” but the two other titles, “Ghetto Cinderella” and “Passionate,” find him working with some impressive collaborators. On the project’s opening track, he teamed up with Mustard and Terrace Martin, and following that, he and fellow Californian Roddy Ricch came together for the first time.

Blxst’s New EP Features Roddy Ricch and Other Friends

“‘Passionate’ is bigger than a song to me,” the Before You Go hitmaker said of the catchy track. “I like to look at it more as a mindset, especially working with Roddy on this record. It’s dope to see somebody’s success go from zero to a hundred, especially somebody from the hometown.” Blxst went on to recall the early days of he and “The Box” lyricist in the studio before they had established themselves, also praising their endless passion.

While four songs may be enough to hold fans over for now, they obviously want more from the 30-year-old in the near future. Luckily, he’s teased that his new EP is simply “an appetizer before the debut.” Blxst added, “I call it a flawless four-pack because it’s intentionally short and sweet.”

Stream Blxst and Roddy Ricch’s “Passionate” collab on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, stream the former’s Just For Clarity 2 EP here if you haven’t already. Make sure to check back later for more release recommendations on our weekly Fire Emoji playlist update.

Quotable Lyrics:

Yeah, and I done put my heart and soul in it
Got it out the mud, I promise it’s a cold feelin’
This ain’t overnight, I woke up with no ceilin’
I made a vision come to life, I’m Cole Bennett

Blxst Is Back With “Just For Clarity 2” EP Featuring Roddy Ricch, Larry June, And More

by

Blxst has been working in the music industry in various capacities for nearly a decade now, and 2022 was one of his biggest years to date. In the early months, he appeared on Murda Beatz’s “One Shot” with Wale, as well as the wildly successful “Peru (Remix)” alongside Fireboy DML and 21 Savage. In April, the multi-talent’s Before You Go project arrived, boasting 13 titles, including popular releases such as “About You” and “Every Good Girl.”

Following that he closed the year out with a few more collaborations with the likes of Chris Brown, Kalan.FrFr, Babyface Ray, and Nija. As we continue to speed through 2023, Blxst is making his mark with a new four-track EP, Just For Clarity 2, which arrived this New Music Friday (March 10). It includes the previously premiered “Keep Calling” featuring Larry June, plus two more joint efforts and one solo song.

Blxst and Roddy Ricch’s First Collab Is Plenty “Passionate”

Blxst’s tracklist begins with “Ghetto Cinderella” featuring Mustard and Terrace Martin, which chiefly sets the tone for what’s to come. Next, he and Roddy Ricch put on a “Passionate” display with their first-ever link-up. Where the 30-year-old’s voice really shines is on “Call My Bluff,” where he operates solo.

As The Source reports, the R&B artist’s work with “The Box” hitmaker sounds to be his personal favourite. “‘Passionate’ is bigger than a song to me,” Blxst explained. “I like to look at it more as a mindset, especially working with Roddy on this record. It’s dope to see somebody’s success go from zero to a hundred, especially somebody from the hometown.

“I just remember us being in a studio before anybody knew who we were and we had that same drive and passion,” he added. “This track is a look back at that, seeing where we were, where we are, where we’re going, and what brought us here today.” Of his project as a whole, Blxst also shared, “When I think of clarity, I think of being clear and getting straight to the point.”

“It’s a moment for me to vent and be honest and transparent, which is a theme throughout the EP. I call it a flawless four-pack because it’s intentionally short and sweet, but it’s also an appetizer before the debut.” It remains unclear when his album will be dropping, but fans are certainly excited to see what else the California native has in store.

Stream Blxst’s new EP, Just For Clarity 2 on Spotify or Apple Music Below. Afterward, tell us which of the four titles is your favourite in the comments. Make sure to check back later this weekend for more release recommendations on our Fire Emoji and R&B Season playlist updates.

Just For Clarity 2 Tracklist:

Roddy Ricch Checks Paparazzi for Filming Him Putting Car Seat in his Car

Roddy Ricch has altercation with paparazzi

Roddy Ricch is the latest celebrity to push back after paparazzi have crossed personal boundaries. Video, allegedly taken on December 29, recently surfaced showing an unnamed member of the paparazzi getting a little too close for comfort to The Box artist.

The video, which was shared by The Hollywood Fix, was taken in West Hollywood and shows Roddy and two men (likely his security detail and a store employee) trying to load what appears to be a car seat into the artist’s black car. The person (an unknown male) recording the film at first just zooms in on the three men before approaching them and talking about how he saw the artist in concert.

The security guard blocks the camera and tells the person recording “he’s doing something private now, he’s doing something for his family.”

The person appears to back off before continuing to try to talk to the artist, to which the security guard repeatedly tells him to back off. The person continues to record and Roddy approaches him and tells him to “turn that off” and says he wants to talk to him “like a man.” The man continues to object and Roddy continues to ask him to turn the camera off, saying “you walked up on me…this is real life, bro.”

The man backs off and talks to someone off camera, confirming that it is indeed Roddy Ricch, but saying “he [Roddy] is in a bad mood though.”

Roddy and his security guard drive off without incident.

Earlier this year, rapper Kodak Black had a similar incident in which he told a person filming him in his private life to back off and stop recording, citing the murder of PNB Rock days before. (The artist’s murderer apparently found his location based on a social media video.)

It is unclear who the car seat was for. Roddy has one child, a son, with baby mama Allie Minati.
