After leaking tracks “She On My Dick” with Gucci Mane and tapping Future, Jeezy and Yo Gotti for single “Dead Presidents,” Rozay raised speculation on whether he was dissing Birdman on newest single “Idols Become Rivals.”

On “Idols Become Rivals,” Rozay is preceded via a 30-second intro from Chris Rock. Then, he goes in on many say is Birdman. Yung Rénzél ended all speculation when he calls Stunna by name, saying that he has love for Baby but still condemns the Cash Money CEO for for allegedly underpaying everyone on the label.

“You would give us self-esteem and motivate our drive/But was in our pocket by the time we count to five/I pray you find the kindness in your heart for Wayne/His entire life he gave you what that was the game/I watched that whole debacle so I’m part to blame.”

“I used to see you niggas on my TV screen/And wonder what was life like, was it all a dream?/And then I met you on them Live Nation dates/Came to the realization that your watch was fake.”

He then took the shade step further today (March 16) by posting a pic of Lil Wayne to Instagram with some encouraging words. He wrote in the caption: “The Level of respect and Love that I have for WAYNE makes it hard to sit back and not speak on the situation.The streets need you.Being a Boss means having the courage to say the things everybody thinking but scared to say.”
