Freddie Gibbs is always in the mood for a good social media joke, and this time, he branded Wale the butt of his joke. The D.C. rapper recently shared a photo of himself standing beside his Porsche, but it wasn't the vehicle that caught Gibbs' eye; it was the accessible parking placard hanging from inside.
Gibbs didn't waste any time taking the moment to Twitter, retweeting the picture with a simple but loaded question: "Why you got a handicap joint in your car?"
Not one to shy away from a little online debate, Wale responded with a short, cryptic answer: "I can't drive." The response didn't exactly clarify, but it sure amused fans.
The exchange ignited on social media as fans weighed in from all sides. Some sided with Wale, telling Gibbs to stay out of it, while others jumped at the opportunity to make jokes on Wale, claiming he just happened to be getting lucky with prime parking real estate. When cruising a comparison like Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, you could undoubtedly value a good parking spot; it's worth its weight in gold.
But because this is the internet, not everyone was worried about the parking situation. Another conversation began about Wale's fashion choices, most notably his headwear. Fans wasted no time roasting his hat, with some dubbing it "the ugliest hat they'd ever seen." But Twitter had jokes for days about this one because Wale's style has always been different.
Freddie Gibbs has made a name for his comedic chops on social media. Whether playfully beefing with other rappers or sprinkling in hilarious one-liners, he ensures there's never a dull moment. His tweet about Wale's parking pass was typical of his humor: direct, witty, and provocative enough to start a conversation.
In the other half of this debate, Wale isn't precisely new to online battles either. His viral moments have been numerous, defending his position in hip-hop and responding to fans and even fellow artists. His response here was more tempered than usual, but whether he actually can't drive or was back-trolling remains unresolved.
Should you worry about feeling guilty? This was just another funny episode on "Rappers on Twitter." (No beef, no drama, just some basic social media roasting.) Fans probably won't pay it much mind on their screen until the next viral moment comes, but Freddie Gibbs and Wale provided hip-hop Twitter with something to chuckle about.
What about Wale's Porsche and that handicap plaque? The whole story may never be known on the internet. With Freddie Gibbs, no detail is too small to become the next big joke.
