Vic Mensa recently faced controversy after it was revealed that he called out XXXTentacion and his supporters in a BET Hip-Hop Awards 2018 cypher. Tonight, the show aired, and so did Mensa’s freestyle. “Only time you bear arms is in a wife beater, loser/Your favorite rapper's a domestic abuser,” he rapped. The rest of the cypher was edited, so it’s unclear if XXXTentacion was mentioned by name as DJ Scheme implied on Twitter. “We all know you won’t live that long/I don’t respect [edited] posthumously, homicide ain’t new to me/catch up with Akademiks at your eulogy.” Watch it happen below. Pitchfork has reached out to Vic Mensa and BET representatives for comment.

After being called out by X’s supporters and collaborators, Mensa responded with the below video reaffirming his criticism. He also offered condolences to X’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, who was in attendance when the pre-recorded freestyle aired. “I had no idea a grieving mother would be in the audience to honor her lost son,” he said in the clip. “However, I vehemently reject the trend in hip-hop of championing abusers, and I will not hold my tongue about it.”
