As tensions in the hip-hop scene spread following BIG Naughty’s diss track at Swings, Lil Boi has effectively joined the fray by dropping an additional diss.
At midnight on the 22nd, Lil Boi released a new track titled “That Hyung,” firing off blunt bars widely interpreted as targeting Swings. One line in particular ― “If power turns someone into that, I really don’t want to be an incompetent dictator” ― is drawing buzz among listeners as a pointed critique of Swings.
On the track, Lil Boi also lays out the history of his ties with Swings and the roots of their conflict. “Three and a half years ago, I didn’t have a label. An Indigo Music hyung met me and took me to the building,” he recalls, describing a past offer to join Swings’ label. He continues, “If I’d taken equity, I might’ve turned into you; half a year later it’d all be Zimbabwe dollars,” a line read as mocking Indigo Music’s business struggles.
He further claims the relationship broke down when he declined: “If I turn it down and walk away, there’s an instant sneak diss,” emphasizing that he and people around him were hit with indirect shots.
Addressing chatter around Giriboy, he adds, “Giriboy has never once bad-mouthed you to me,” publicly defending him.
Earlier on April 16, BIG Naughty dropped a diss track titled “INDUSTRY KNOWS” aimed at Swings, alleging an assault incident and claiming artists’ neighboring rights were sold. Swings responded via livestream, and Giriboy posted his stance on social media, but reactions remain split.
Meanwhile, related artists are expected to be in the same place on May 2 at HIPHOPPLAYA Festival 2026, drawing intense interest from hip-hop fans.
