'Don't quote my songs, bruh': Rapper Lil Jon claps back at Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar over tweet
Lil Jon did not appreciate the shout-out from Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, who tagged the Atlanta rapper in a tweet that paraphrased the lyrics to "Get Low."
"69.69 damn that’s fine," the Republican tweeted with a screen shot showing that he'd gotten 69.69% of the vote in his district. "What say you @LilJon."
And we are pretty sure that conversation did not go the way the congressman had hoped.
"DONT QUOTE MY SONGS BRUH," Lil Jon fired back. "ON ANOTHER NOTE R You GONN HELP 45 PACK HIS (EXPLETIVE) UP."
Damn, that's cold.
By the way, the original lyric in "Get Low," a track that topped the rap chart in 2003 for Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz, is "3, 6, 9 / Damn you fine" (and "Damn she fine" on the Ying Yang Twins chorus).
The number 69 is never mentioned.
