Quincy 042 has fired back at critics who attacked him online. This follows the release of his controversial diss track.

​He dropped the song on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. The video quickly sparked anger among Phyno’s loyal fans.

​’Ordinary Free Smoke’

​Quincy took to Instagram to address the hate. He mocked the sensitive reactions to his “challenge” entry.

​He claimed the song was just “ordinary free smoke.” However, the negative feedback surprised him. The rapper noted that fans have been “feeding him tears” since the video dropped.

​The artist used a specific beat for the viral video. He recorded over Dremo’s Man2Man open verse instrumental for the track.

​Quincy warned fans not to push him too far. He threatened to drop “real smoke” if the dragging continues.

​Fighting the Gatekeepers

​He also addressed the state of the music industry. Quincy refused to “lick the same asses” as other entertainers.

​He criticized “gatekeepers” who ignore the city until it benefits them. He promised to create a path with “no gates” for his talented brothers and sisters.

​The Enugu-born rapper labeled himself an activist at heart. He claimed he speaks for the voiceless on the streets.

​He admitted he loves his colleagues but called out their wrongs. You can read the shocking diss track details to understand his specific claims.

​System Failure

​Quincy ended his rant with a curse for the system. He stated that without the people, the system is nothing.

Others have also spoken on the feud. An OAP recently explained why Quincy is really fighting Phyno in a viral post.

OAP Divine Chidimma hits back: Why Quincy is really fighting Phyno

​Story Highlights

OAP Divine Chidimma has slammed rapper Quincy for his recent attacks on Phyno. She claims Quincy’s hostility stems from jealousy over Jeriq’s rise and relationship with Phyno. Chidimma noted that Quincy failed to mention any specific wrongdoing by Phyno in his complaints.

Media personality Divine Chidimma has strongly criticised rapper Quincy following his online outburst. She reacted to his hostile comments directed at music star Phyno.

​The OAP claims Quincy is acting out of pure envy. She believes he cannot handle the success of his peer, Jeriq.

​The Jeriq connection

​Chidimma explained clearly why Quincy seems so bitter. She noted that he worked with Jeriq before Jeriq became famous. ​The OAP stated that seeing Jeriq rise has hurt Quincy. Jeriq now shares a solid bond with Phyno.

​This reaction comes days after the rapper released a shocking diss track aiming at the star. Chidimma argued that Quincy is trying to claim the “pioneer” title. She accused him of crying out only because Jeriq trended. Quincy allegedly wants credit for starting drill music in the region.

​Demanding clear proof

​The media personality challenged Quincy to name one crime. She asked what Phyno actually did to him personally. ​She pointed out that he only uses other people’s stories. He has not stated how Phyno wronged him directly.

​Chidimma urged him to focus on making better music. She insisted that fans would stream good songs if he made them. She also referenced a post by Aguero Banks. Banks recently praised Phyno for changing his life and career.

​This praise contradicts the claims that Phyno suppresses young talent. It seems Phyno turns insult into success regardless of the hate he faces.

​Chidimma warned Quincy against destroying relationships. She advised him to stop dragging names like Runtown into his mess.

​On January 28, 2026, she concluded her rant with advice. She told the rapper to let the “chill man” be.
