As of August 5th, 2025, a heated debate is unfolding between rapper Gillie Da Kid and former NFL stars Cam Newton and Johnny Manziel over the league's top quarterbacks. The feud was sparked last month when Newton, the former MVP, explained why he did not include reigning Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts among the top 10 QBs, citing Hurts' relatively low passing yardage in the 2024 season.
This prompted a strong reaction from Gillie, a passionate Philadelphia Eagles fan, who accused Newton of "hating" on Hurts for accomplishing what Newton "couldn't do - win a Super Bowl." Newton then responded by mocking Gillie's music career and album sales.
The dispute escalated further when former Heisman Trophy winner and ex-Cleveland Browns QB Manziel joined Newton's side, calling Gillie "the biggest (expletive) loser on the planet" and threatening to "slap the (expletive) out of you."
In a recent video, Gillie fired back at Manziel, telling him to "check into AA" and "check the f*** out of AAB (African American business)," arguing that the feud has "nothing to do with you."
As the war of words continues, former NFL star Chad Johnson has seen a "money-making opportunity" in the Gillie-Manziel beef, suggesting the two settle their differences in the boxing ring.
