Yelawolf evidently caught the blatant diss on Royce Da 5’9’s recent single “Overcomer” featuring Westside Gunn and decided to fire back at the Slaughterhouse vet Instagram.
In a since-deleted post, the Alabama native shared a photo of some slick red boots with the caption, “YOU AND ME video dropping soon from the sold out Fillmore in Detroit .. but numbers do lie don’t they @royceda59. yo @eminem get your hype man before the wolves do … I ain’t worried.”
Royce, who had already screenshot the post, reposted it to his own Instagram account and issued a threat.
“I can remove you quicker than you Deleted this post, David Duke and nobody can stop me,” he wrote. “See, you want it to be one way… But it’s the other way.”
“Overcomer” arrived on Thursday (January 16), just before Eminem dropped the surprise album Music To Be Murdered By and all hell broke loose. In one of his verses, Royce calls out Yelawolf by name and makes it abundantly clear he has beef with the Slumerican rapper.
“Yelawolf this is your first and your last pass,” he raps. “I ain’t gon’ put it on blast, your punk ass know what this about/You think it’s ’bout being loud or tryna be hostile/Till you get found face down on the ground outside of Kid Rock house/Though you a vulture pundit, I hope you get sober from this/Men lie, women lie, so do numbers.”
