Last week, Central Cee dropped "CC Freestyle," spitting fiery bars over Flukes' classic grime instrumental. Only a few days later, his fellow British rapper Chip took to social media to tease his own new song, "C Freestyle." Fans were quick to notice similarities between their titles, and the fact that they used the same beat, prompting them to speculate. “Ask anybody born after ‘95 who made them wanna jump on grime they tell you it’s me,” Chip rapped in a short snippet, captioning it, "IT CAN GET GRIMEY."
Almost immediately, listeners began to suspect that Chip might diss Central Cee, egging him on in his comments section. "Central Cee count your days my guy," one X user wrote. "Need to see Chip put Central Cee in his place," another said.
Chip Unleashes New Track Amid Central Cee Beef Rumors
Just before dropping the song, however, Chip proved the rumors to be false. He shared a photo of him and Central Cee to promote the song, making it clear that there's no bad blood. At the time, Central Cee left a heart emoji in his comments section. Upon the release, he put the rumors to rest once and for all, giving Central Cee his flowers and clarifying that he actually finds his success inspiring. “I ain’t one of them olders hating, I tell Central that I rate him,” he rhymes. “His progression’s motivating.” Cench is even featured in the track's accompanying music video, which Chip shared a snippet of on Instagram yesterday. "THAT’S 3 C’S UP CC," he captioned the clip. "@CENTRALCEE BATTERED THIS BEAT HAD TO TAG IN."
