It's "The Prize" versus Spreddie once again.

Happy belated birthday to Freddie Gibbs, who turned 41 this past Wednesday (June 14). Many fans reached out to congratulate him, celebrate his music, and provide the occasional Twitter troll online. However, one important figure when it comes to the Gary, Indiana MC's past beef isn't letting up easy- because, of course, Freddie isn't, either. DJ Akademiks took the opportunity to restart their beef with a birthday message making reference to his "Spreddie Gibbs" nickname, which has a shirt now, apparently. For those unaware, the name came about after his baby mama exposed him for ghosting her and... well, the moniker sums it up.

"Happy 41st Birthday to my former Opp," DJ Akademiks tweeted late night on the Big Boss Rabbit's birthday. "@FreddieGibbs... I aint know they had a whole shirt selling of u showing ur a**hole to ur ex before u got PEGGED. Yall go cop a t shirt of Spreadie Gibbs... go help suppport his BABY... them records aint finna do it." The tweet came linked with a storefront where you can purchase a T-shit depicting "fan art" of the alleged picture with a call from Spreddie. Freddie Gibbs and the media personality started beefing way back in 2020 over comments the rapper made about Gunna being in a "Crime Stoppers" episode.

DJ Akademiks' Happy Birthday Message To Freddie Gibbs

Eventually, it devolved into a long-running feud of them trolling and insulting each other every chance they get. Furthermore, the most recent development in that before Freddie Gibbs' 41st was him addressing the former Complex host having a very small crowd show up to his live podcast. "Damn," the "Feel No Pain" artist wrote on Twitter. It was a small comment, and probably not as hard as he would've liked to go. Maybe his situation with his ex-girlfriend is weighing heavy on his mind, or he just doesn't want to give DJ Akademiks the time of day. He hasn't responded to this recent birthday bash.

Meanwhile, the podcaster is convinced that he won the beef, even though it's more of a war than a battle at this point. Also, is he really going to take the credit for another person's exposé? "Since you N***as like writing letters… here go one…” he tweeted regardless. “DEAR HATER @FreddieGibbs I WON." Moreover, that caption came with a picture of his ex in an adult film. Still, let's see if the now-41-year-old lets it all slide to focus on his career or if their beef keeps bringing us hilarious moments.
