Lil Tjay attends the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California on March 22, 2022.
Don Q fires back at Lil Tjay for calling out members of Highbridge The Label on his "Many Men" freestyle.

Don Q and Lil Tjay have had some friction over the years but it appeared to settle down in recent times. Following Tjay's near-death experience earlier this year, he returned with new music over the past few weeks including a freestyle over 50 Cent's "Many Men." He went into detail about the shooting before appearing to take shots at members of Highbridge The Label, including Trap Manny.

They like what's the beef, I be like lets not recite the past
'Cause that's gon' makе it even hotter, oncе we get back on they–
You know
Like what? Mr. Manny steady talkin' like he tough
Caught his ass, ain't have no pole, and he went skippin' off the dust
Type of guy, try to take sum' from me, boy, you high
And I ain't sayin' he the suspect but lil' homie out of eye
Old streets rules apply, I got hit, ain't wonder why

In response, Don Q issued a new record on Sunday titled, "IDK." On the song, he adamantly denies any involvement in the shooting, and went as far as claiming that Tjay is looking for clout. At the top of the verse, Q questions Tjay's credibility in the streets and went as far as suggesting that he cooperated with authorities. "Got shot, now he saying names all over your rap/ Pussy boy I could imagine what you told the detectives," he raps on the song. He went even further with claims that Lil Tjay's sound follows A Boogie's blueprint. 

"Just another A Boogie stan that was obsessed with us
You never liked the fact that people called you a replica
Now you think you 50 for clout
He took 9, you took 7, two more will help him figure it out.
How much Highbridge dick is gon fit in your mouth?
"

On the outro, Don Q denies having any knowledge of the situation before further accusing Tjay of snitching. "I guess them n***as caught you slipping now you saying our names for attention... N***a lowkey a rat. Saying n***as names. Dry snitching. We ain't even had nothing to do with that shit," he says on the outro.
