Chris Brown has released a new diss track, "Weakest Link," targeting rapper Quavo in their ongoing feud. This follows Quavo's recent song "Tender," where he references Brown's past domestic abuse allegations.
In the song The Grammy-winning artist, aged 34, goes as far as saying, "R.I.P. Takeoff, he the only real one, I got true respect. Crazy how when he died, everybody really wished it was you instead."
Brown and Quavo's relationship is complex, with both artists having dated actress Karrueche Tran, who now has a restraining order against Brown.

In "Weakest Link," Brown not only addresses their tangled history but also hints at an affair with Quavo's ex, Saweetie, while they were still a couple.
"You f**ked my ex-ho, that's cool, I don't give no f**k, lil n***a (Still a b***h)," Brown raps. "'Cause I f**ked yo' ex when you were still with her, b***h, I'm up, lil n***a (I'm up)/They say revenge is sweet, now think about that s**t (Revenge is sweet)."
Chris also brings up Saweetie again, referencing a leaked video showing Quavo in a physical altercation with her. This is in response to Quavo's accusations about Brown's history with Rihanna:
“Stop talkin' 'bout beatin' girls, you was beatin' bitches on the elevator/ We seen the tapes, that's devastatin'”
Their feud can be traced back to 2017 when rumors circulated about Tran and Quavo. Despite sitting next to each other at Paris Fashion Week, which sparked reconciliation rumors, Brown quickly dispelled any notions of peace.
'Can’t pick who you sit by,' he wrote on Instagram. 'F**k all that growth s**t. N***a not finna fumble my bag for little n****s.'
Brown also mentions this incident in the song, saying, “Fashion week, they sat me next to your lame ass, I was truly mad (What?)/ All I kept thinkin' 'bout was breakin' your face, but I gave you a pass”
Towards the end of the track, Brown takes a dig at Quavo's recent loss of his group member Takeoff, who was fatally shot in Houston. In what many consider a tasteless remark, Brown suggests that people might have preferred Quavo to be the one who died:
“Crazy how when he died, everybody really wished it was you instead (Oh shit, brrah)”
