Jacksonville rappers Yungeen Ace and Foolio had been embroiled in a deadly feud over the last few years. Overall, the two had made viral diss tracks about one another's deceased friends. If you remember, those tracks were "Who I Smoke?" and "When I See You." On Sunday, it was reported that Foolio had lost his life in a shooting. Subsequently, fans were curious as to how Yungeen Ace would react. In the end, the rapper dropped a song called "Do It" in which he alludes to putting out a hit on someone.
As you can imagine, fans felt like the timing of all of this was suspicious.

In the clip below, Rivers makes it clear that Yungeen Ace's diss track could prove to be an unwise move.
