A$AP Rocky caught many fans by surprise when he dissed two streetwear clothing lines he's been rocking since emerging on the scene in his new video for "Multiply." After calling out Hood By Air and Been Trill in his latest release, fans of the Harlem rapper began selling their clothing from the lines on eBay.
XXL notes the first garment of HBA that was put on eBay came an hour after the song dropped last week, and is still featured on the seller's eBay account for $225 USD. Since the release of "Multiply," 22 personal sellers have placed their HBA items on eBay, and of those 22, 11 items still remain unsold on their accounts.
"I ain't really f--kin' with that Been Trill, swear that s--t is booty like Tip Drill," he raps on the song. He also took shots at HBA rapping, "HBA s--t is weak, you can keep that."
As previously reported, Heron Preston, one of the founding members of Been Trill, took to Instagram to express his feelings on A$AP Rocky's diss. In the lengthy caption, he touches on the power of fashion in music today. He also stated that Rocky's latest song and video is "good."
"What happened to rapper on rapper beef? the days of Biggie vs Tupac & Jay Z vs Nas are over. Remember how Nas's "Ether" or Tupac "Hit Em Up" made you feel? Remember what that meant for rap music? The fact that a rapper dissed a clothing company is a huge sign of the times," he wrote. "Does that mean rap is boring? has rap lost it's edge? Today, power in music is style. power is fashion. Let's keep this shit shocking and competitive! this is how you push things forward. and the song/video is good. let's continue to shake shit up! our culture needs it."
