Tezzus seemingly responded to Nine Vicious dissing YSL, which is a sad development for Young Thug's roster of up-and-coming artists.

Young Thug has been talking about signing a lot of artists recently, whether it's established stars or up-and-coming MCs. Many of YSL's newest members are from the ØWAY collective, such as Tezzus and diamond*. But one of the most popular names associated with this new generation, Nine Vicious, is definitely at odds with YSL right now.

As caught by No Jumper on Instagram, Vicious recently reacted to "F**k YSL" chants at his concert. "Louder," he asked as the crowd continued to chant before he let his song play.

For those unaware, this tension recently manifested into Young Thug and Nine Vicious' Internet signing spat. The latter claimed the former lied about resigning him to YSL for millions of dollars. But then, Thugger shared screenshots of alleged messages with Nine in which Vicious allegedly denied having denied that signing.

Following the young MC's concert chants, Tezzus allegedly responded to him beefing with YSL and ØWAY during a recent concert of his own. "That p***y banned from here. That boy can't come back to Atlanta," he remarked, although it's not explicitly clear if he was referring to Nine here.

Still, fans connected the dots, and there are few context clues online for who else Tezzus could be talking about. In any case, it looks like Vicious won't be returning to YSL anytime soon.

Nine Vicious & YSL Beef

For those unaware, Nine Vicious' issues with Young Thug and YSL first surfaced in a big way back in September of last year. In multiple interactions with fans, Nine suggested there were some tensions. He said, "Everything fake about this industry" while denying a YSL and YVL official release will happen, whereas he still proclaimed loyalty to his For Nothing collective and YVL, which is led by Playboi Carti. Also, Vicious clarified he was "*for nothing" when a fan on Twitter reacted to one of his posts with "big ysl s**t."

Young Thug's going on tour with this new YSL generation soon, so we'll see if there are any other updates. It's sad to see a young collective face conflict early, but such is the reality of collaborative stardom.
