Chris Brown and Quavo have a history of not being the best of friends and it appears that the pair are still on the path to war after this weekend. Chris Brown dropped a new track titled “Weakest Link” aimed at Quavo, with the late Takeoff having his name added to this feud.
From what we gathered, “Weakest Link” is a response to the track “Tender” and adds to the growing rift between the pair that has been ongoing for years according to reports.
On “Tender” Quavo rapped:
Wipin’ your nose with the tissue, not wipin’ no snot (Snot, whoo)Tell me, lil’ bro, what’s your issue? It’s over a thot (Thot)You said that it’s bigger than that (It’s big), but no, it is not (No, it is not)It’s ’cause I be diggin’ in that (Ya dig?), it got ’em hot (They got ’em hot)I’m givin’ respect (Sh*t), but I know you not (I know you not)Your b*tch on my neck (Your b*tch), your b*tch at the spot (Spot)
The streets are saying that the Migos artist is speaking about Brown’s ex, Karrueche Tran.
Brown, digging deep into his petty bag, fired back by suggesting he got familiar with Huncho’s ex, Saweetie:
Okay, let’s get down to the facts, p*ssy, I’m dripped in red (Okay)Don’t let this R&B sh*t fool you, n*ggas get ripped to shreds (Get back)Quavo talkin’ like he a thug, n*gga, you a bitch with dreads (You a b*tch)Can’t wait to see the day that you back up all of that sh*t you said (You on)What’s all that boss sh*t you talkin’? You ain’t no huncho, n*gga (You ain’t no huncho)You the weakest link out of your clique, let’s keep it a hundo, n*gga (One hundred)You f*cked my ex-ho, that’s cool, I don’t give no f*ck, lil’ n*gga (Still a b*tch)‘Cause I f*cked your ex when you were still with her, b*tch, I’m up, lil’ n*gga (I’m up)
We’ve got no opinion on who is winning this particular beef but fans observing are naturally calling out Brown’s violent past with women, while also adding that Quavo has similar stories of the same acts on his jacket.

Megan Thee Stallion moves on from Pardi, and now YG is tap, tap, tapping Saweetie.
The internet is buzzing after photos of YG and Saweetie in a pool getting cozy in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, hit Twitter timelines confirming rumors of them messing around with each other.
The photos in question show a fresh-faced Saweetie rocking her vacation braids and pink bikini along with the Bompton rapper, who is hilariously wearing a fitted baseball hat in the pool.
The two Hip-Hop stars are hugging each other in photos, with YG giving her a smooch on the cheek in another flick.
Rumors of Saweetie and YG dating began to swirl after the two were seen “getting cozy” at a California restaurant while attending Coachella.
Adding more fuel to the fire, Saweetie was one of the many guests at YG’s all-red 33rd birthday soiree in West Hollywood back in March, along with other names like A$AP Ferg, Ty Dolla $ign, Offset, DJ Mustard, and Travis Scott.

The love connection could have happened in the studio after the two rappers came together on Mozzy’s 2022 track “In My Face,” featuring 2 Chainz.
Saweetie & YG’s High-Profile Love Life
Both Saweetie and YG are no strangers to high-profile romances. YG has dated Keke Palmer, singer Kehlani, whom he got caught cheating on, and two children with his ex-girlfriend Catelyn Sparks.
Saweetie famously dated Quavo between 2018 and 2021. Their romance died as allegations of Quavo creeping on the “Best Friend” crafter.
“I’m single,” she said in a 2021 tweet. “I’ve endured too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes for a false narrative to be circulating that degrades my character. Presents don’t band-aid scars, and the love isn’t real when the intimacy is given to other women.”
“I emotionally checked out a long time ago and have walked away with a deep sense of peace and freedom. Excited for this new chapter of elevation,” she added.
Not long after, that infamous video of the elevator footage of the two artists involved in a physical altercation surfaced, but both Saweetie and Quavo said the incident happened and the past, and they were able to move past it.
Twitter Reacts To The News
Yup, Twitter is reacting to the surprising couple and is very meh at the idea of them dealing with each other. One Twitter user was unhappy to know “YG church shoe wearin’ ass” bagged Saweetie.
“YG & Saweetie is something I didn’t expect……but I’m not mad at it,” another Twitter user wrote.
Add YG and Saweetie to the list of new couples we will be rooting for. You can see more reactions to the news in the gallery below.

The cool girls of rap came together for the ultimate collaboration last month, as Saweetie hopped on a remix of Baby Tate‘s 2016 viral hit, “Hey, Mickey!,” and the duo sat down with Billboard‘s Rania Aniftos to share how it all came together.

“When it came to thinking about who I would want on it, I knew it had to be somebody to match the cuteness and the energy of the song,” Tate explains, pointing out that Saweetie clearly embodies “cuteness,” as she was rocking a bikini top decorated in Hello Kitty trinkets.
Saweetie agreed that the collab was a perfect match. “I’ve been wanting to collaborate with her, so I was excited when I got the call,” she says.
Baby Tate also noted that it was quite the “surprise” when a song from 2016 blew up on TikTok in recent months. “I did just drop a project in September of last year so when something started blowing up on TikTok, I’m thinking, ‘Oh something from Mani Pedi is going crazy.’ No, it was ‘Hey Mickey.’ Like, what?”
Both rappers are working on new releases, with Tate gearing up to release a full album in the summer. “I’m going to be singing a lot on this project, as I was on my last, but it’s not going to be in an R&B space. It’s going to be more pop-leaning. It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be wild, edgy and just sexy and hot,” she shares, with Saweetie noting that she “needs” that energy right now.
Saweetie, meanwhile, has fans itching for her long-awaited album. “With an album, you’re introducing yourself into the world,” she says. “Who is Saweetie? Who is Diamonté? They think it’s just, ‘Rich n—-, eight-figure, that’s my type.’ That’s a portion of me. That’s not the whole soup. There’s other ingredients. I’m figuring out, how do I landscape this album so that people are able to get to know me?”

When viewers tap in for season 2 of Bel-Air, they will be Saweetie gracing their television screens.
Variety exclusively reports that the “ICY GIRL” rapper will appear in the second season of the popular Peacock series Bel-Air. Per the website’s reporting, Saweetie will be playing herself in the show.
This will not be the first time she will play herself on show. Saweetie has made numerous appearances during the third season of the Black-ish spinoff Grown-ish that lives on Freefrom.
Saweetie won’t be the only new face fans of Bel-Air can expect to see on the show’s second season. Brooklyn McLinn, Jazlyn Martin, and Riele Downs will join the cast in recurring roles.
Per Variety:
Brooklyn McLinn (“Cloak & Dagger,” “Black-ish”), Jazlyn Martin (“This Is Us,” “All American: Homecoming”), and Riele Downs (“Darby and The Dead,” “Henry Danger”) will all appear in the new season of the drama series take on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”
McLinn will play Doc Hightower, described as “a busy and driven basketball recruiter and AAU Coach who is impressed by Will’s game at Bel-Air Academy.” Martin will play Jackie. Of her character, it is said, “Her South L.A. street smarts put Will’s Philly swagger to the test when they are introduced to each other at a Venice basketball tournament.” Finally, Downs will play Yazmin, said to be “the president of the Black Student Union at Bel-Air Academy. While their paths have not previously crossed at school, Yazmin finds herself impressed by Carlton’s contributions to the club.”
Bel-Air Shut The Doubters Up
When Bel-Air was first announced, it wasn’t well received. The show is based on Morgan Cooper’s trailer featuring a dramatic retelling of the popular comedy sitcom starring Will Smith, which caught the eye of the actor who helped the trailer turn into an actual series and picked up for two seasons on NBC’s streaming network Peacock.
The series stars Jabari Banks as Will, Adrian Holmes as Phillip Banks, Cassandra Freeman as Vivian Banks, Olly Sholotan as Carlton Banks, Coco Jones as Hilary Banks, Akira Akbar as Ashley Banks, Jimmy Akingbola as Geoffrey, Jordan L. Jones as Jazz, and Simone Joy Jones as Lisa.
Season 2 premieres exclusively on Peacock on February 23.
