Johnny Manziel, the former NFL quarterback, has once again found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. This time, it involves a heated exchange with rapper Gillie Da Kid over a diss towards fellow quarterback Cam Newton.
The incident occurred on social media, where Gillie Da Kid posted a video of himself rapping about Newton’s recent release from the New England Patriots. In the video, he takes a jab at Newton’s performance on the field, calling him a “bum” and saying he “can’t throw.”
Manziel, who has had his own struggles in the NFL, took offense to the diss and responded with a threat towards Gillie Da Kid. He wrote, “Keep my name out your mouth before I come see you, little man.”
The exchange quickly gained attention, with many fans and media outlets weighing in on the situation. Some defended Manziel, saying he was just standing up for his fellow quarterback. Others criticized him for his aggressive response.
This is not the first time Manziel has made headlines for his behavior off the field. In 2016, he was released from the Cleveland Browns due to his partying and legal troubles. He has since attempted a comeback in the Canadian Football League and the Alliance of American Football, but has not been able to secure a spot on a team.
As for Gillie Da Kid, he has not responded to Manziel’s threat and has since deleted the video from his social media. However, the incident serves as a reminder of the power of social media and the potential consequences of using it to publicly attack others.
In the world of professional sports, where competition and egos run high, it is important for players to remember to conduct themselves with professionalism and respect towards their peers. As for Manziel, this incident serves as a reminder that his actions, both on and off the field, will continue to be scrutinized by the public.
