And everybody tagged the dude I was referring to… So, he just went on a whole… He was like, ‘Yo, if you don’t like what I said, do something about it.’ I did. I muted you, so I won’t see you anymore.” Ice explained the origin of his comment due to Hitta constantly feuding with anyone that mentions Kendrick Lamar or GNX. Afterward, Ice acknowledged that Hitta impressed with his guest feature on the album’s self-titled track.
