The rift between Boosie Badazz and Yung Bleu has lasted for years, and things took a turn after Jim Jones entered the chat.

The feud between Boosie Badazz and Yung Bleu doesn't seem as if it will fizzle out anytime soon. The tension stems from a long-running legal dispute over contracts and royalties tied to Bleu’s career. Boosie, who helped introduce Bleu to a wider audience and signed him early in his career, has repeatedly accused the singer-rapper of cutting business deals behind his back and failing to properly compensate him for his role in Bleu’s development. Boosie has maintained for years that he is owed millions of dollars and has pursued the matter in court.

Bleu has pushed back against those claims, arguing that Boosie simply made a bad business decision and has unfairly portrayed him as disloyal. Recently, Jim Jones caught up with Bleu for the IFC Factory Artist 2 Artist series, where the latter detailed the rift. He explained that some artists "don't want to see the lil dog become the big dog." Boosie apparently saw the clip and unleashed on X.
