Cassidy Says He Is ‘Just Competitive’ And Was ‘Disrespected Lyrically’ So He Took On Meek Mill, It is ‘Not A Street Beef’ He Asserts

The long drawn battle between two fellow Philadelphia rappers, Cassidy and Meek Mill is still raging on. Over the weekend, Cassidy released "Raid" (a ten minute diss) in response to Meek Mill's "Me, Myself & iPhone" and the ensuing heat-ups in Twitter. Cassidy clarified to Philadelphia's Hot 107.9, that the battle against "Amen" singer was not to be taken as a street beef but he was only being "competitive" and was insulted "lyrically."

Cassidy said that he did not intend the track must be about ten minute long, "That's what I do. I rhyme. I got bars so I can go as long as I wanted to. It's not like I planned for it to be exactly ten minutes. I just planned to go in and get a lot of things off my chest so it turned out to be that amount of time. My core audience and people that love Hip Hop love when I go in like that. They don't want me to tease them with it. They want me to go in," HipHopDX reported.

He said that Mill must just chill and should not retaliate with another diss track, "I can't speak upon what that man gon' do but I wouldn't advise that man to try to come back. The first record he came out with ['Me, Myself & iPhone'], he threw a few jabs but it wasn't nothin' crazy. I didn't even understand why he did it. He should've just fell back."

He also added that this was not a "street beef." "I just want everybody to know that this ain't no real street beef like people are trying to create it into. I know the media gets entertained off making it into street beef and things like that but it ain't nothing like that. I don't want people to think it's a street beef or nothing like that. I'm just competitive and I was feeling disrespected lyrically."

He did not stop at this and told that he had been over 5,000 battles and never lost any. He advised Mill to stop comparing.

"So it's good for Hip Hop and I just want to keep it like that," he explained.
