Jermaine Dupri just wanted to post a video with him and Usher in peace, but it seems that Instagram trolls won't let him get away that easy. Moreover, a hater took to the comments section of his video to remark on his old age in a pretty blunt fashion. As far as what the video showed, it was a simple video of Jermaine walking along with Usher and a crew of people, presumably after one of the latter's Las Vegas residency shows. "Jd like 65," the troll wrote in the comments section. "He should be sleeping."
Furthermore, the North Carolina artist replied to that comment in a similarly simple but sincere way. "65!!!" the "Money Ain't A Thang" star retorted indignantly. "You got me f***ed up!" Not only is Dupri still active in the music game, but he just released a hotly anticipated project. His collab tape with Curren$y, For Motivational Use Only, Vol. 1, released earlier in April, boasting features from the likes of T.I. and 2 Chainz. As such, it's understandable that JD would be pretty taken aback by people bringing up his age when he's still on his grind. For the record, Jermaine Dupri is 50.
Jermaine Dupri Isn't Here For The Hate
Regardless, Jermaine has bigger fish to fry when it comes to beef- or, at least, he had. Last year, he got into a heated dispute with Bow Wow over who deserves more credit in his career's evolution. Eventually, things got pretty sour, with them going back and forth on social media and dragging each other's name through the mud. However, Bow Wow recently explained how Nelly helped mend their feud and put the past behind them. Ultimately, it came down to both men, of different generations and priorities, coming to understand each other more as they both entered a reflective, veteran status in the game.
Meanwhile, that's not the only piece of gossip that circled in the hip-hop world about Dupri recently. Yung Joc compared him to Diddy last March, stating that the latter is more talented when it comes to knowing what's "hot." Wherever you fall on that debate, a potential Verzuz battle between the two, which JD said is in development, would make for quite the matchup.
