The ongoing feud between Liberian artists Teddyride and Barsee has taken another dramatic turn, with Teddyride delivering a fiery response to Barsee’s recent jabs. The tension, which started over Teddyride removing Barsee’s verse from his hit song Wleesayma, has escalated into a full-blown war of words on social media. Here’s what happened in the latest chapter of their beef.
In a recent post, Teddyride didn’t hold back. He called Barsee his “son” in the music industry, implying that he’s the more experienced and successful artist. He mocked Barsee for being lazy and suggested that Barsee’s lack of consistency makes Teddyride’s hard work seem suspicious, even joking that it might look like he’s “using witch” to succeed.
Teddyride also challenged Barsee to compare their hit songs, listing his own popular tracks like Besa, Zagalogo, King Solomon, Money Business, and Pray for Me. He confidently stated that he’s been successful since his very first song, Pretty Mama, and demanded respect as the OG (Original Gangster) in the game.
But Teddyride didn’t stop there. He criticized Barsee’s music style, saying real music should resonate with people of all ages and be something they can sing word for word. He accused Barsee of just “yelling and talking” instead of creating meaningful music.
Teddyride also called out Barsee’s hypocrisy, pointing out that if he’s so “wack” (untalented), why was Barsee begging to get his verse back on Wleesayma after allegedly using explicit lyrics, insulting to women, in the song; which was one of the reasons why his verse was removed. He revealed that he even tried to resolve the issue privately by calling Barsee, apologizing, and sending him money to move on. But according to Teddyride, Barsee chose to be stubborn and difficult (“kpaka”) instead.
Finally, Teddyride expressed his frustration with the back-and-forth on Facebook, saying he’s tired of the petty drama. He challenged Barsee to step up and do something more substantial if he wants to prove himself.
What’s Really Going On?
At its core, this feud is about respect, recognition, and creative control. Teddyride feels disrespected by Barsee’s insults and is defending his success and talent. Barsee, on the other hand, feels wronged by having his verse removed from Wleesayma and has been vocal about his dissatisfaction.
What started as a professional disagreement has turned deeply personal, with both artists attacking each other’s character, music, and achievements. While it’s entertaining for fans, it’s also a reminder of how messy creative partnerships can get when egos and misunderstandings are involved.
Will Barsee respond to Teddyride’s latest post? Or will this finally be the end of their public feud? Only time will tell. One thing’s for sure: this drama has kept fans talking, but it’s also overshadowing the music that started it all.
