Gucci Mane’s issues with T.I. began in 2012 and stemmed from his relationship with his once bitter rival Jeezy (who he also patched things up with in 2020).
“No Disrespect to Clay but if Tip wanna get into it he can,” Gucci tweeted at the time, shortly after unleashing his Jeezy diss track “Truth,” on which he namedropped the Grand Hustle general.

T.I. responded in an interview with Hot 107.9, saying: “Man, I got the money in mind. I got the sights set on a big sack with a lot of money in it, man. I’m talkin’ like multi-million dollar conglomerate type stuff.
“Anything that’s not of that nature and understanding, I don’t really see it. So I really don’t know what you’re asking me about.”

Six years later, Gucci Mane claimed he invented trap music, which prompted a response from T.I.
“Ok,so…. AGAIN for the slow ones in the back… August 19th,2003 Birth of Trap Muzik & Only fools dispute facts!!!” he wrote on Instagram. “FOH wit that Christopher Columbus ass… ‘Look what I discovered,even though they was already here ass shit!!!!’ WITCHO GOOD CAPPIN ASS.”

In 2020, T.I and Jeezy discussed the possibility of ending their respective beefs with Gucci Mane.
“There’s a third member of the Mount Rushmore of trap music that either one of us don’t really speak to or mention that much,” Tip said on his expediTIously podcast. “What do you think is necessary to bring that shit together, if anything?

“And I understand we dealing with somebody that’s temperamental themselves and our shit that we got with us versus their shit that they got with them makes it extremely problematic. But in the best case scenario, how could that shit happen?”
Gucci Mane’s new album Breath of Fresh Air, meanwhile, clocks in at 24 tracks and boasts features from J. Cole, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, the late Young Dolph and many more.
