Rappers Chris Brown and Quavo were once known for their friendship and successful collaborations, but their relationship took a sour turn in 2017 and has not improved since.

The feud between the two artists reportedly began when Quavo started dating Karreuche Tran, who was previously in a relationship with Brown.

The situation escalated when Tran filed a restraining order against Brown around the same time the dating rumors circulated, leading Brown to believe that there was more to the story.

Despite a physical altercation between their crews at the BET Awards, Brown and Quavo seemed to have put their differences aside until 2024, when Brown released a track titled Freak with apparent disses aimed at Quavo. In response, Quavo wasted no time in releasing his own diss track called Tender, addressing the situation between them.

The feud continued to escalate when Brown released Weakest Link, featuring more disses directed at Quavo, including insinuations about his relationship with Saweetie.

The ongoing beef between the two artists shows no sign of ending anytime soon, as both continue to release music containing jabs at each other.
