One of the oddest side quests to prop up in the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle was the feud between Rick Ross and The Game, which manifested through the latter’s “Freeway’s Revenge” diss track against the former.
Moreover, while Ross beefed with Drake outright, there wasn’t much pre-existing tension between these new opponents, and Game’s name hadn’t come up once from any side in that 20v1… or 1v20, depending on how you look at it.
As such, the Los Angeles MC called into The Joe Budden Podcast to explain his goals with his song, and to remark on what’s happened since.
“A n***a sitting around just trolling, n***a, keep that same energy, n***a,” The Game told Joe Budden and company of Rick Ross on Thursday’s episode (May 16).
“Bump heads with a n***a that really do this s**t. Bro, he didn’t respond with a f***ing cereal bowl, n***a… We know you f*** ing eat. We see you. I don’t think it’s wise… and if he does, it’s done. The rap n***as ain’t saying what the people in the comments are saying. The rap n***as know what I do.

Furthermore, it seems like the Maybach Music Group mogul didn’t want any lyrical smoke this time, or at least thought that it was unnecessary to respond. Considering how the Kendrick Lamar battle played out, perhaps this wasn’t such a bad decision.
After all, flexers are flexers, wordsmiths are wordsmiths, and the world revolves much easier when they know their place.
Still, all bets are off as to how Rick Ross and The Game could continue their battle outside of wax, although neither seems interested in the other’s primary form of engagement.
In other news, The Game unleashed on Rick Ross a diss track, Freeways Revenge, on the night of May 9, 2024.
On it, the Compton-born performer wastes no time, opening with a jarring line about cutting Ross’ stomach open and telling him he’s only a few wings away from a heart attack.
