T.I. is coming for his old nemesis Floyd Mayweather with a new diss track called "Fuck Nigga." Mayweather provoked controversy when the boxer dismissed the growing calls to boycott Gucci in the wake of the blackface sweater scandal. "To me of course, black lives matter first," Mayweather told TMZ on February 12 after shopping at a Gucci store. "But my thing is this, I'm gonna continue to go out there live life and be happy." In his song, T.I. takes aim at "all the fuck niggas at the world," but the song's cover art makes it clear exactly who he had in mind when he recorded it. Listen above.
Mayweather issued a statement on Instagram an hour after the song dropped on Thursday. It appears to be partially aimed at T.I: "Why wouldn't we agree to a permanent boycott of Gucci as well as all other merchandise that fall under the Kering ownership, such as YSL, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen and more? I'll tell you why... it's because in this day, celebrities and failing artist [sic] pick and choose the hottest trending topic as a means of seeking attention and using fake advocacy as their platform when their 'talent' no longer benefit [sic] them"
Mayweather and T.I. have been feuding since 2014. A confrontation at a Fatburger in Las Vegas led to the creation of the meme "Where they at doe?" spawned after T.I.'s Instagram video disproving a rumor that he sustained two black eyes.
