Elliott Wilson had some words for Charlamagne Tha God, who recently dissed Wilson on his podcast The Brilliant Idiots.

On the latest episode of his podcast, Charlamagne shared his thoughts on Complex's Hip Hop Media Power Rankings and claimed Wilson shouldn't be No. 5 on the list. Charlamagne then got into his spot at No. 4 and added that he's not trying to be the "50-year-old person" that's "beefing with streamers" or "starting shit online with rappers."

Wilson, who's 53 and had his fair share of online beef with rappers, took offense to Charlamagne's take and retweeted it on his X page with a clear response. According to Wilson, Charlamagne was moving on some "sucker shit" and he added a "fuck you" for good measure.

Wilson wasn't quite done as he posted, "I want ALL the smoke," and took a dig at Charlamagne for being a third-string radio host.

"A HOF career 3rd mic n***a crying about my top 5 status. Legacy these nuts, I got great content on the way. #2024," he wrote.

During an episode of The Bigger Picture podcast, Wilson expressed his gratitude to Complex for including him on the list. When it came to speaking on Charlamagne's spot above his, Wilson was happy for him and said he was a "good friend of the show."

"It feels good man," Wilson said. "I'm not going to lie to you man. That's a nice shot of me there too. It's a handsome one of me."
