He explained: “Look at A.I. rap now man. I don’t even believe nobody that write. I don’t even believe if you even really make it anymore cause I done been in studios with motherfuckers and mutherfuckers is ChatGPT shit and I’m like, ‘What in the fuck?’ Like damn, how long am I gonna be able to do this shit? Cause I’m actually making fresh shit.”
Without naming any names, Gibbs added: “How long am I going to be able to do it when there’s motherfuckers in the studio typing into a computer to get their music? We in a lazy day and age, man. Heart is dying and you got to ask a computer to write your lyrics, shit is wack.”

Gibbs recently revealed that Kanye West was not happy his verse on Vultures 1 track “Back to Me” got more praise than any of his.
He explained: “This n-gga Kanye was mad about that shit. That n-gga was telling n-ggas like, ‘Man, how the fuck this n-gga think his verse is the best on my album?’”
Gibbs added: “When I sent it to him, I sent it to him thinking that, with the premise, he’d be proud of me. ‘Cause I look up to you. So I would think that, I rapped on your album, and people talking about it like this, you would think that a n-gga like you would be proud of me. That pissed him off.”
He concluded by saying: “A lot of that shit was a slap in the face. I’m putting my shit on pause to be on Vultures bitch ass n-gga. I could be recording Alfredo 2. I put a lot of shit on hold to come to Italy to work with you and for you to shit on some of my best work ’cause you mad ’cause n-ggas saying it’s better, you know what I’m saying?”
