After Troy said that Mac wasn't from New York, the latter went to the spot where Ave apparently got shot and challenged him to a fight.

A New York beef is brewing between China Mac and Troy Ave, with both sending shots at each other over social media. Moreover, it all seemed to have started when Troy was in Mac's IG Live saying that he wasn't really from New York. Then, Mac retorted in a video calling Ave "a rat on steroids," saying he took inspiration from the likes of 6ix9ine. However, the taunting didn't stop there, as Mac went to the alleged spot where Troy Ave once got shot to get some food and posted about it on social media. Furthermore, he asked Troy Ave to pull up on Troy Avenue and fight him for $500K.

In another IG Live session, it seems like Troy directed the following message: "China Mac u soft DONT make me put u on that summer jam screen." Of course, this follows another related incident regarding the two, although Mac was actually a mediator in this case. Wack 100 and Maino fought on IG Live over the latter's claim that he stole Troy Ave's fake chain, despite having wished him well after his Irving Plaza shooting.

China Mac & Troy Ave Clash

In fact, that shooting caused a lot of headlines in recent weeks, as rival Taxstone was found guilty of committing said crime. Of course, Troy was quick to respond with some diss tracks against him, which then prompted Wack and Maino's feud. It seems like everyone even slightly close to the issue is taking sides, and China Mac is no different. Moreover, the social media antics are so blurry that it's unclear whether these attacks were completely unprompted from Troy against Mac or if there's history there. The latter is likely true, but Mac is certainly taking things a step further.

Meanwhile, China Mac recently blasted Charleston White for racist anti-Asian remarks, which resulted in a canceled show with DJ Akademiks. "Let me make this very clear, Charleston White don’t speak for all Black people,” he responded in a video. “He don’t! This ain’t a Black and Asian thing. This is a Charleston White thing, so we gon’ keep it on Charleston White. Charleston White, you a b***h, right? You also got a lotta foul stuff to say about my people, and we gon’ hold you accountable for that. Facts." Considering this history, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Troy Ave, China Mac, and this web of beef.
