Rapper The Game has unleashed a scathing diss track titled Freeway’s Revenge, directly targeting fellow rapper Rick Ross.

The release marks a significant escalation in the ongoing rap wars, with The Game decisively entering the fray.

The Compton-born rapper, known for his candid lyrics and hard-hitting beats, has collaborated with Rick Ross on tracks like Ali Bomaye.

However, their past partnership seems to have dissolved into animosity, as The Game takes issue with Ross’s recent behavior, particularly his trolling of Drake amidst the latter’s tensions with Kendrick Lamar.

Freeway’s Revenge, which dropped on Friday, is laden with incendiary lines that aim for Ross’s personal life, health, and history. The Game pulls no punches, addressing Ross’s weight, alleged personal preferences, and his previous occupation as a correctional officer. The track’s title refers to “Freeway” Ricky Ross, from whom the Florida rapper took his stage name.

The Game’s lyrical assault doesn’t stop there. He dismantles Ross’ Biggest Boss persona, dismissing the opulence and luxury often boasted by Ross in his music and public appearances. The Game’s verses suggest a facade of extravagance, questioning the authenticity of Ross’s narratives and lifestyle.

Accompanying the track’s release, The Game took to social media, further taunting Ross with an AI-generated image depicting him in a less-than-flattering light. The image, which shows Ross in a police uniform fleeing from a fast-food restaurant, adds a visual punch to the verbal jabs.

As of now, Rick Ross has not publicly responded to The Game’s provocations. The silence is notable, given Ross’s history of engaging in social media banter and his musical retorts, such as the diss track “Champagne Moments” aimed at Drake.

The Game’s direct approach contrasts with his previous, more subtle digs at Ross, hinting at a growing impatience with the MMG mogul’s antics. With “Freeway’s Revenge,” The Game has made it clear that he’s not one to shy away from confrontation, and the hip-hop world is eagerly awaiting Ross’s next
