Mickey Factz has claimed that Bay Area rapper LaRussell blocked him on social media — and it might have something to do with his controversial "heaven-sent" clip.

Last weekend, LaRussell shared a video of him performing a track that hears him say that controversial figures Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein and Adolf Hitler are "heaven-sent."

"I'm not perfect, and neither is the president / What’s guiltier than a n***a hiding evidence? / You can't be mad that they heated if you don't let them vent / Even the devil was heaven-sent," LaRussell raps on the track, before also mentioning late civil rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, along with Kanye West.

He also says in the clip: "Donald too. We all heaven-sent / Epstein too. We all heaven-sent / Adolph too. We all heaven-sent / Even you, we all heaven-sent."

The song faced a lot of backlash online, and while it's unclear whether Mickey Factz shared a negative view on it publicly, he took to X on Thursday (March 19) to claim that LaRussell blocked him on the social media platform.

"I got blocked by La Russell," he wrote, before turning the viral clip into a part of his response. "Even the block button was heaven sent."

Others who have claimed that they were blocked by LaRussell include artist Aja Monet, who wrote: "Looks like LaRussell blocked me on IG for having a legit healthy critique of his really defenseless 'heaven sent' song where he lists several horrible people including Epstein as 'heaven sent.'

"My comment was actually a more gracious one but the fact that bro is so offended by legit critique is willilld. He deleted it and blocked me lol that's the least Bay Area energy I've ever witnessed let alone by a rapper. We was rooting for ya. Welp."

LaRussell has since deactivated his social media accounts following the "heaven-sent" drama as well as a build-up of controversies, including his perceived criticism of Lil Wayne.

“I had a moment in my journey where I had grew a disdain for Wayne, just because I started listening to everything, I started maturing as a human," LaRussell said on podcast The Truth Hurts. "And I’m like, 'Damn, this n***a wasn’t talking about nothing for a long time.'"

A fan page has since announced that LaRussell’s socials are temporarily deactivated by sharing that he’s "currently taking a break and will be back soon."
