Lil Mosey's XXL Freshman Cypher Gets Clowned, He Says He Doesn't Freestyle

"I feel like the man / freshman of the year / I woke up like the man," he began. "Never poppin' Xans 'cause they killin' me damn / when you got it money they be tryin' to be your friend / Okay, this a lame ass beat."

The rapper's video was quickly circulated through social media and the memes and jokes ran amok. Recognizing he didn't do as well as his fellow rappers, Mosey explained why he wasn't able to keep up with his cohorts and took the teasing in stride. "Not gone lie my freestyle was trash 🤣," he wrote. "I don’t freestyle as y’all can see. I like to write songs n sing melodies but I tried n had fun. Y’all memes are hella funny tho."

Meanwhile, Gunna was noticeably absent from the Cypher, but he enigmatically posted on his Instagram "Fuc* a Freestyle...This Style ain’t Free !😤🖕🏽😆✌🏽"
