However, three weeks later, there appeared to be a change of heart. “Tell buddy get ready,” Gucci tweeted on Saturday. “Nov 19 TrapGod vs SnoCone.” TI didn’t seem to have any hard feelings about being replaced. “Now THIS … Is what the people wants to see!!” he posted on Instagram Sunday. The upcoming battle on Instagram is part of an ongoing series by producers Swizz Beatz and Timbaland. It initially launched as a way to entertain fans during quarantine, and has since become a cultural phenomenon on social media.
