The ongoing clashes in the music scene, particularly between artists in the United States like Drake and Kendrick Lamar, have now made their way to the UK, with Central Cee taking aim at Digga D. In a recent release titled "CC Freestyle," Central Cee boasts about his international fame and the financial benefits that come with it, even claiming he can afford rent up to £18,000 after allegedly making £10M from his debut album. He further compares their achievements, suggesting that while he's booked for gigs in Los Angeles, Digga D is relegated to Leicester.
This alleged jab at Digga D stems from their longstanding feud, rooted in their shared upbringing in Ladbroke Grove. Historically, Ladbroke Grove and Shepherd's Bush were part of the same gang until tensions led to a split, with Digga D remaining loyal to Ladbroke Grove and Central Cee having associations elsewhere.
Central Cee gained recognition in the music scene following escalated gang conflicts, notably an incident in November 2018 where his brother was stabbed after an encounter with Digga D and another individual. Although both were initially arrested, they were later released due to insufficient evidence.
Since then, the rivalry between Central Cee and Digga D has played out through diss tracks, with Digga D mentioning the stabbing of Central Cee's brother and Central Cee retaliating by targeting Digga D's ex-girlfriend, influencer Tennessee, in his lyrics. However, the latest diss from Central Cee focuses on highlighting the disparities in their lifestyles and spending habits, underscoring the differing paths they've taken to success.
The back-and-forth between Central Cee and Digga D exemplifies the complexities of the music industry and the personal rivalries that often drive artists to express themselves through their art. As fans eagerly await the next developments in this ongoing feud, it's clear that tensions continue to run high between these two prominent figures in the UK music scene. Is it the UK turn to bring out beef?
