On his latest album, $$$, Freddie Gibbs extended the olive branch to Jeezy on "Rabbit Vision," where he admitted to being immature. In addition, Gibbs also expressed his appreciation for the lessons he learned from Jeezy, both directly and indirectly.
Me and Jeezy still ain’t spoke in years, but I got love for him
Could’ve talked it out, but I spoke out, I let it get to me
Showed me I could be a fuckin’ boss, best thing he did for me
I needed to grow, too immature, it’s shit I needed to know
-- Freddie Gibbs, "Rabbit Vision."
The Gary, IN rapper signed a deal with CTE nearly a decade ago before parting ways with the label. Gibbs and Jeezy parted ways. Unfortunately, the split was messy. The "Dark Hearted" rapper took shots at Jeezy on numerous occasions in the past including on Pinata with Madlib. The second verse of "Real" dives into their troubles while Gibbs simultaneously called out Jeezy for his issues with Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, and alleged that he was being extorted by BMF.

No response from Jeezy on Freddie Gibbs' recent comments on their relationship but it seems like the two could be on a path towards reconciliation in the near future.
