Former college football superstar and NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel is inserting himself into the beef between fellow former signal-caller Cam Newton and podcaster and former rapper, Gillie Da Kid.
Gillie and Newton have been in a back-and-forth recently that started with Newton not putting Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts in his list of the top-10 quarterbacks in the NFL, which Gillie, who is an Eagles fan, didn’t take kindly to.
Gillie’s most recent shot at Newton came while he was holding the Super Bowl trophy at his birthday party and noted “Cam ain’t never had one of these,” while also saying he wouldn’t keep going back and forth with Newton.
Manziel caught wind of the video and threatened to slap Gillie if he ever sees him in an expletive-laden rant.
“Yo (Gillie), you may be the biggest [expletive] loser on the planet,” Manziel said. “Talking like you’ve [expletive] done anything on a football field. If I see you, just know I’m going to slap the [expletive] out of you, trust.”

Manziel added a few more tweets following his initial post.
“I love a Million Dollaz Worth of Game but that’s the corniest [expletive] I’ve ever seen in my life,” he added on the video of Gillie.

After Gillie slammed Newton over his ranking of Hurts, the former Carolina Panthers star and MVP took a shot at Gillie’s rap career, saying that he “did not chart any solo singles.”
Gillie isn’t the only one who has been upset with Newton’s opinion of Hurts. Former NFL players such as Terrell Owens, Ryan Clark and Dan Orlovsky have all criticized Newton, as has ESPN host Stephen A. Smith.
Gillie currently hosts the popular Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, which is part of Barstool Sports.
Manziel rose to fame during his college football days with Texas A&M. He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2014 but his career ended after a few years in the league.
