Gucci Mane teases Jeezy ahead of Verzuz battle, Internet says ‘they better get security’ between rival rappers

The official Twitter account of Verzuz shared a video posted by the 40-year-old rapper on his Instagram account where we can see him making fun of Jeezy

The very first battle of ‘Verzuz’ Season 2 between Atlanta rappers Gucci Mane and Jeezy is all set to go down on November 19, and the former is leaving no stone unturned to clown his opponent. After Gucci confirmed he is going head to head with his long-time rival Jeezy, he has been super active on his social media accounts.

The official Twitter account of Verzuz shared a video posted by the 40-year-old rapper on his Instagram account where we can see him making fun of Jeezy. In the 30-second video, we see Gucci running down a slope and saying, “The Verzuz is real. Me and Snowcone will be in the same room. But this what I wanna know, is fashion a part of the Verzuz? ‘Cause I’ma have that s**t on tomorrow and if buddy had that same funny a** shirt and the dumba** hat he had on the album cover, I ain’t doing it.” The album cover which Gucci is talking about in the video is of Jeezy’s new album ‘The Recession 2’ which drops on November 20.

Hip-hop fans, who are eagerly waiting for the much-hyped Verzuz face-off, stormed Twitter to talk about the battle and soon “Gucci” was trending worldwide. The Internet shared mixed reactions where some extended their support to Gucci while others said the opposite. Speaking on the same, one user tweeted, “Doesn’t matter it’s a hit that’s bigger than most of Gucci music... no song on that album is better... I’m just saying...”

One said, “I hope Gucci come with some grown man respect... don’t be lame.” One user said, “The versus gone trigger Gucci mane old brain cells. they better get vapor glass n security between these n***a.”  Another expressed, “I think Jeezy will win but you can’t sleep on Gucci he a legend out here.”

One user stated, “can’t believe it’s still controversial to voice 100% correct opinions about Gucci Mane. some ppl can’t handle the truth.” A user added, “I don’t think we’ll ever see the day Gucci and Jeezy get along. Would you be cordial with someone that tried to put a hit out on you?!”

Gucci and Jeezy have had a long history of beef, one of the most prominent ones in recent hip-hop history, which turned into an all-out war. In 2005, Gucci was apparently blamed for killing Henry “Pookie Loc” Clark III, one of Jeezy's associates, during an alleged home invasion at his house. Clark’s body was found three days after the incident and Gucci didn't call the police at the time of the shooting.

Gucci was eventually charged but was later cleared as he claimed to have acted in self-defense. Since then, Gucci has shown no remorse for Clark's death and has even posted memes about the incident. Over the years, Jeezy has continually insisted that he didn't provoke Pookie Loc to attempt to rob Gucci.

Before making fun of Jeezy with this short video, Gucci had also shared a meme on his official Instagram account a day ago mocking the murder of Jeezy’s associate, Henry “Pookie Loc” Clark III. The meme shows a man jumping in a courtroom and includes a caption that suggests what Gucci would tell Jeezy in their Verzuz battle: “go dig ya partna up n***a I bet he can’t say sh*t.”

Gucci Mane vs Jeezy streams live on Instagram and Apple Music on Thursday, November 19, at 8 pm PST.
