Two of Cashville a.k.a. Nashville, Tennessee's finest rappers are on shaky ground. Underground lyricist Starlito and G-Unit alumnus Young Buck were both at a basketball game in their hometown over the weekend when they were involved in a scuffle.
In videos posted to social media, the two men seem to be talking when Buck suddenly grabs Starlito by the neck. The crowd around them attempts to separate the men, then security steps in to spray mace to deescalate the situation.
Starlito released a diss song called "You Should Be Proud" around the time the footage came out, making it entirely possible that Buck confronted Starlito after hearing the song. In the track, which you can stream at the top, Lito goes directly at Buck: "Nobody ever did it bigger for the Ville then Buck/But I'm realer and I really don't even give a fuck."
Later in the song, Lito fires shots at Buck's authenticity: "Real recognize real, and no one seems to know you/Ain't even happy for me and everybody notice/I'll never be a celebrity, but I bet I'll be focused/I know some sacred secrets, people that get deeper than these quotes/But I'ma leave it alone, it's easy to see you reap what you sow."
At the end of the song, a recording is played of someone addressing Buck by his government name, David Brown. A bunch of f-words fly after that, seeming to call Buck's sexuality into question.
Young Buck appeared to address the fracas on Instagram Monday by posting a ripped clip of Maino speaking on "not giving a fuck" about others' lives:
Just last year, Lito and frequent collaborator Don Trip appeared on Young Buck’s 10 Pints project for a song called "Push Da Line." Something tells me they won't be collabing again in the near future, but we'll see how things pan out from here.
