Hurricane Chris and Slim Jxmmi came to digital blows over Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX announcement.

Chris took to Instagram on Monday, upset that Kenny is set to headline the next halftime show in New Orleans, rather than Lil Wayne. The hometown hero has publicly campaigned for the gig for some time.

Just a few days ago, Chris took issue with 50 Cent for something similar—his failure to spotlight Shreveport, Louisiana artists during his Humor & Harmony festival. Chris nodded to that situation in his IG rant.

“So now you n***as understand it, huh? Same shit that I was just saying 50 Cent did in Shreveport, now it’s happening in New Orleans on a bigger scale,” he said. “People like Master P come in on it, so now everybody understand? I just made this same fucking statement.”

Chris, who is a Shreveport native, continued, “When you come to the South, y’all gotta show more respect than this. We got our own culture here. N***as coming down here laughing, playing games, thinking they just gonna use their money and take over everything.”

“It ain’t going down like that. We going back to that old fucking law. You n***as stepping on turf gon’ do what you supposed to do, or you gon’ pack your shit up and get the fuck on. All that nice guy shit is out the window. Fuck being nice, fuck trying to cop deuces. I take back every nice word I said to you n***as. Get your fucking mind right or we gon’ make n***as get their mind right. How about that?”

After catching wind of the video, Jxmmi felt compelled to jump in the comments. “Bruh! Ain’t no way you still reaching!” he wrote, followed by a crying face emoji.

Chris then fired back: “@slimjxmmi mind yo business unless you wanna see these hands bruh on god what’s poppin.”

Jxmmi, who, according to HipHopDX is an avid boxer, was ready for the challenge. “I’ll slap the ‘Ayy Bay Bay’ out this n***a," he wrote on his IG Story.

Lamar’s halftime show announcement has been mired in controversy with many artists saying that Tunechi was passed over for the spot. Nicki Minaj, Birdman, Master P, Cam’ron, and Mase are among those who have slammed the NFL and Jay-Z’s decision.

Back in February, Wayne expressed just how badly he wanted to perform at the Super Bowl.

"I will not lie to you, I have not got a call," he told YG and Stevie for the 4Hunnid podcast last February. "But we all praying, we keeping our fingers crossed. I'm working hard. I'm going to make sure this next album and everything I do is killer … I want to just make it hard for them not to highlight the boy."
