R&B singer Chris Brown is beefing with Atlanta rapper Quavo. What world are we living in? And what could have happened between these two artists for them to feel the need to drop diss tracks?

We’re here to explain it all.
Where did it start?
The feud between the two artists seems to have started over Karreuche Tran, whom they have both dated over the years.
If you recall, Brown and Tran dated on and off for nearly five years from November 2010 to March 2015.
Since then Quavo has also been rumored to have dated Tran on and off since 2017.
This is all the while Quavo and Brown continued to make music together including the songs, “Just For The Night,” “Whippin,” and “Leanin.”
But in recent years, Brown has started to take some shots during his appearances on “Crew League,” a league where celebrities and their “crews” compete in a basketball tournament. After winning the championship in 2021 and 2022, Brown called out the Atlanta rapper, claiming that he was “scared.”
At the time, it looked like it was just friendly competition. But now it’s clear that there was real hate between the opposing sides.
Diss tracks
Brown made the beef between the two official by seemingly throwing shots at Quavo on the deluxe version of his 2023 album, “11:11.”
On the song, “Freak,” Brown said, “Okay, now f****n my old b*****s ain’t gon’ make us equal.”
While it took nearly five months, Quavo responded two weeks ago on his track, “Tender” where he raps about Brown’s history of domestic violence and his break up with Karreuche Tran.
Brown wasted no time responding to the Atlanta rapper, releasing a diss track of his own titled, “Weakest Link.”
Although Brown isn’t known as an MC, the shots he took at Quavo were scathing and rapper-worthy. He specifically said that “everybody” wished that he died instead of his uncle and fellow Migos member, Takeoff.
He also mentioned how Quavo was seen on video fighting with his ex-girlfriend, Saweetie, in an elevator.
On Monday, Quavo fired back at the controversial R&B singer on the track, “Over H**s & B*****s” and called Brown “crackhead Michael Jackson” and continued to bring up his track record of domestic violence.
The cover art for the track shows Quavo choking Brown.
Brown reacted to the track hours later on social media, writing on his Instagram story, “Google Raps THAT S**T IS POOOOOOOH.”
He added, “Damn and I was excited .. that shit don’t even need a response. Takeoff rap better.”
Saweetie jumps in
On Monday, the “ICY GRL” rapper later exposed a message she received from Quavo the day after the Migos member dropped, “Over H**s & B*****s.”
On the song, Quavo mentioned his ex-girlfriend by name, rapping, “I can take a model b**h and make a Saweetie, n**a/ Crackhead Michael Jackson, b**h, you better beat it, n**a.”
This seemed to piss Saweetie off who shared a screenshot of Quavo sending her a DM on Instagram in January. In the caption she wrote, “hopefully the model he turns into me replies.”
