Ex-Lions QB Scott Mitchell Furious Over Barry Sanders Doc ... 'F*** You All'

Not everyone is a fan of Barry Sanders' new documentary -- his former quarterback, Scott Mitchell, just shared his negative review in a lengthy rant on social media ... revealing he's super pissed at how he was depicted in the project.

Sanders' "Bye, Bye, Barry" just hit Prime Video this week ... and Mitchell's big takeaway was that many guests featured in the doc blamed him for the running back never winning a Super Bowl.

Mitchell went to Facebook to vent about it all ... initially praising Sanders' abilities on the field, before ripping into his critics -- name-dropping Detroit superfans Eminem and Jeff Daniels in the process.

"However, I am so tired of hearing how I was the reason that Barry Sanders never won a Super Bowl," Mitchell said, according to the Detroit News. "I'm so tired of hearing how I was not a good QB. My only response is F*** YOU ALL!!!!! That includes Eminem (and) Jeff Daniels."

Mitchell -- who played for the Lions from 1994-98 -- added he was disappointed to hear his former coach, Wayne Fontes, openly talk about wishing he had Joe Montana or Warren Moon under center instead ... and how a proper QB was what kept Barry from being a champion.

"A little support from the coach might have gone a long way," Mitchell added. "Wayne never had my back!"

Mitchell then turned his focus to Sanders ... saying he, too, deserved blame for their empty trophy cases.

"Bottom line, Barry Sanders had everything in Detroit," Mitchell continued. "Everyone loved him. Everything was built for Barry to succeed. In his 10 year career, he won one playoff game and the only reason he didn't win more was everyone else was the problem?"

"How many yards did Barry have in the playoffs in '94, '95, '97? I'll give you a hint not very many. We all are to blame for not winning a (Super Bowl) in Detroit even Barry Sanders."

Mitchell ended his rant by saying he truly feels the Lions could have gone the distance if the team had just been a bit more patient ... but that's not how it played out.

We take it Mitchell won't be invited to the next Lions reunion.

Michael B. Jordan Set to Direct 'Creed IV' ... Despite Sly 'Rocky' Feud w/ Winkler

Michael B. Jordan is set to direct another 'Rocky' franchise installment with the next 'Creed' movie -- this despite the fact that Sylvester Stallone has major beef with a key producer.

The announcement was made by Irwin Winkler at an event in L.A. Saturday -- where he confirmed that not only is 'Creed IV' happening ... but saying Mike would be back in the director's chair, and obviously starring of course.

According to Deadline, Winkler said they'd start circling the project sometime in 2024 -- with him explaining, "We have a really good story [and] a really good plot. We got a little delayed because of the strikes, but about a year from now we’re going into pre-production."

Considering how much of a moneymaker "Creed III" was, this is great news for MBJ ... but probably hits a nerve with Sly -- who's slammed IW and his handling of the 'Rocky' rights.

As we reported ... Stallone has called on Winkler to give him an ownership stake in the IP -- of which he has no control over, apparently, after having sold the rights to the OG script years ago. Sly's POV is ... he's the creator of the character/story, so he should have a cut.

It goes without saying ... Rocky himself was not featured in the latest film -- and Sly said he just didn't like direction Mike and Irwin were taking things ... although he did wish 'em well.

Sly's love of his baby ('Rocky') actually just got a renewed focus thanks to a great Netflix doc on the man himself, "Sly" ... which touches heavily on how the Oscar-winning film came together. If you watch it, you'll see all things 'Rocky' are still very near and dear to SS.

Interestingly enough, Sylvester doesn't address Winkler in the doc (directly or indirectly) but he's made his feelings about the issue very clear. For now, it doesn't appear he's going to be involved with 'Creed IV' ... although MBJ left the door open in interviews earlier this year.

Sly hasn't addressed the news about 'Creed IV' getting the green light.

Megan Thee Stallion Ex-BF Pardi Drops Diss Track ... After She Suggests Cheating

DISS TRACK

Megan Thee Stallion appeared to accuse her ex-boyfriend, Pardison Fontaine, of cheating in a recent track of hers -- and now, the guy's firing back ... with his own diss song.

The rapper/writer dropped a new song called "THEE PERSON" ... and it's obviously aimed at Meg -- with the lyrics explicitly mentioning her by name, plus a ton of other jabs at her character that he says he's observed in the aftermath of their relationship.

You can check out the song for yourself ... but basically, he suggests Meg's somewhat of a troubled person -- at least as he knew her -- saying she should look at herself in the mirror.

Pardi appears to reference MTS's time with Tory Lanez -- before the 2020 incident -- as well as other guys he heavily implies she might've slept with ... despite her telling him she hadn't to his face. In other words, Pardi's getting into some alleged bedroom tea of his own.

Of course, this comes after Meg dropped her single, "Cobra," just a couple weeks ago -- where she claimed she'd caught Pardi creeping with another woman while they were together.

They quietly broke up earlier this year ... with Meg recently hanging out with a famous soccer star ... but it seems there are still some harsh feelings over 2 years of them as a couple.

Meg hasn't responded to Pardi's latest salvo ... but something tells us she might. In any case, she's out here doing just fine -- MTS was among the many famous ladies at GQ's party this week, and looked great.

Megan Thee Stallion Ex novio Pardi lanza canción contra la rapera

1118-megan-thee-stallion-pardi-TMZ-audio-art-kal
Nuevo track

Megan Thee Stallion parecía acusar a su exnovio Pardison Fontaine de engañarla en su última pista y ahora él le está devolviendo la mano con su propia canción en contra de ella.

El rapero y escritor lanzó una nueva canción llamada "THEE PERSONA", la que está obviamente dirigida a Meg. En la letra, la menciona explícitamente por su nombre, además de un montón de otros golpes hacia su carácter, el que dice ha observado en las secuelas de su relación.

Ustedes pueden chequear la canción por ustedes mismos, pero básicamente sugiere que Meg es una persona con algunos problemas, o al menos así era cuando él la conoció, diciendo que debe mirarse en el espejo.

Pardi parece hacer referencia al tiempo de Megan Thee Stallion con Tory Lanez, esto antes del incidente de 2020, además de otros chicos con quienes Pardi sugiere, hay una gran posibilidad de que se haya acostado a pesar de que ella se lo negó en su cara. En otras palabras, Pardi se está metiendo en sus propios rumores de dormitorio en relación con la cantante.

Por supuesto, esto viene después de que Meg lanzara su single "Cobra" hace apenas un par de semanas, donde afirma que sorprendió a Pardi arrastrándose con otra mujer mientras estaban juntos.

Ellos terminaron su relación a principios de este año y Meg ha estado saliendo con una famosa estrella de fútbol recientemente, pero parece que todavía hay algunos sentimientos duros entre ellos.

Meg no ha respondido a la última bronca de Pardi, pero algo nos dice que podrí hacerlo. En cualquier caso, la cantante está de lo más bien. En esta foto vemos que fue una de las muchas mujeres famosas que estuvo en la fiesta de GQ esta semana, y se veía muy bien.

Drake Wassup Now, Pusha T??? Calls Him 'Broke Ass' on New EP!!!

Drake has a few jabs left to throw Pusha T's way, and didn't hesitate to unleash 'em on his new "Scary Hours" drop ... the deluxe edition of "For All The Dogs."

On "Wick Man," produced by The Alchemist, Drake avenges his longtime friend/producer Noah "OVO 40" Shebib. Remember, back in 2018, Pusha released "The Story of Adidon" on which he dissed 40's multiple sclerosis disorder with no remorse.

Drake ripped into Pusha using the same cadence the Clipse rapper once used to diss him, and added some slander of his bank account -- “Man, I remember n****s was joking ’bout some tick, tick/ And now that rapper broke as f***, that boy a statistic ... empty clips.”

Pusha rapped "tick, tick" to describe the clock that was supposed to spell out 40's demise on 'Adidon' ... his venomous diss that also spilled the beans on Drake having a son.

"Wick Man" marks Drake's 2nd Pusha snipe this year -- he also called him out on Travis Scott's hit "Utopia" album, and invited him to pull up on his 'Blur' Tour ... but Pusha's been noticeably quiet, even when Jim Jones got at him.

Pusha's quietness probably won't last for long though ... that's a lot of sticks and stones in his direction.

Drake 'Scary Hours' For Kanye!!! ... Shouts Out Taylor Swift

Drake didn't hesitate to voice his frustrations towards his friend-turned-foe Kanye West on his new project -- and voice them he did with charged-up aggression.

As you know ... Drizzy dropped yet another album Friday -- and on his new song "Red Button," Drake roasts Ye for constantly backsliding on their friendship over the years ... most recently being the 2021 Larry Hoover Benefit concert that did little to end their beef.

"Every time you need me for a boost, I never hesitated/Every time that Yeezy called a truce, he had my head inflated/Thinkin’ we gon’ finally peace it up and get to levitatin’/Realize that everything premeditated!!!"

PERFORMANCE OF PEACE
TMZ.com

If you recall, J. Prince organized the event and told TMZ he convinced Drake and Ye they were doing their part in helping criminal justice reform ... as well as mending their beef, which it clearly did not!!!

Drake later stated his only competition in the music game is Taylor Swift ... she can make him move a release date but not the rest of you bums!!!

121021_kanye_drake_kal December 2021
HITTIN' THE STAGE TOGETHER
TMZ.com

He goes on to praise her success on the charts -- "Taylor Swift the only n**** that I ever rated/ Only one could make me drop the album just a little later/ Rest of y’all I treat you like you never made it/ Leave your label devastated/ Even when your pad the stats, period, I never hated."

The track kicks off the deluxe edition of Drake's "For All The Dogs" album which dropped on Friday and there's plenty more smoke where this came from.

Claudia Jordan to Foxy Brown Fix Your Teeth ... Before Talking Sideways About Lil Kim!!!

Claudia Jordan and Foxy Brown engaged in a nasty war of words over the weekend ... and it all stems from CJ's love for Lil Kim, and Foxy's hate for her!

It all began when Kim made the crazy prediction that her upcoming memoir would topple The Bible in sales.

111323_lil_kim_kal
BIGGER THAN THE BIBLE

Foxy got a kick outta Kim's confidence -- she's kept their 20-year beef alive through frequent subtweets, which prompted CJ to openly question Foxy's motives after all this time.

Foxy redirected her venom to Claudia's DM's where she essentially called CJ a D-list celebrity and ripped her for having mangled feet.

CJ clawed back at Foxy ... updating the "Ill Na Na" rapper that she had cosmetic surgery on her feet but still needed proof that Foxy got the gaps in her teeth fixed!!! 😬

Kim's memoir has been delayed for some time now and this latest beef just may help push the presales to biblical proportions!!!

Bebe Rexha Nicki Over Cardi in Female Rap ... But That's Just My Opinion

111223_bebe_rexha_kal
BEBE'S A BARB

Bebe Rexha has waded into the never-ending debate over who's the better femcee between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B ... and from her POV, it's no contest when it comes to raw talent.

The singer sounded off -- in a very respectful way, of course -- on an IG Live she did this weekend ... where she and a pal went back and forth on the merits of the argument, and BR ended up landing mostly Nicki's camp in terms of who she prefers as the queen of rap.

Check out how she breaks this down ... Bebe seems to think Nicki's longevity and quality as been top-notch for a long time, plus she admires the fact that she writes her own rhymes.

Bebe's friend here jumps to defend Cardi in the same breath, noting she's quite talented too ... but concedes that it's well-known she doesn't always put pen to paper for her own lyrics, and might outsource that part of the job at times.

Both of them say this isn't meant to pit the two ladies against each other -- which they say happens far too often, for no reason other than to rile up one another's respective bases.

With that said ... Bebe makes it clear, she simply likes Nicki's rapping ability more -- but notes she does appreciate Cardi's personality and authenticity more than anything.

CARDI BEASTMODE

As we all know ... Nicki and Cardi have had beef in the past, and every now and then -- there seems to be jabs taken from either side online ... but more so among their fans.

With that said, Cardi and Nicki continue to be among the most popular female MCs today.

Birdman 'Pulls Up' on Druski ... Menacing Surveillance Video

111123-druski-kal
coulda been, shoulda been ...

Druski's constant Birdman trolling seems to have finally caught up with him -- that is, if you buy this surveillance footage ... which shows the record exec "pulling up" on the homie.

TMZ Hip Hop has obtained some pretty shocking footage ... which we're told shows the Cash Money honcho and some goons literally dropping in and violently confronting Druski and co. at a studio session that the viral star was in late Friday night here in L.A.

Check it out ... you can see Birdman and his two friends facing off with Druski in a stairwell, and things get heated quickly -- with Baby apparently even attempting to put hands on Dru.

A minor scuffle ensues, and Druski and his pals go tumbling down the stairs as they try to escape ... making a run for it and beelining it through the halls of the studio -- with Birdman in close pursuit. We're told Dru had just finished filming for his reality show, "Coulda Been House," when this happened ... and from the looks of it, Birdman caught wind of it.

It would also appear that Birdman took something with him from all this ... namely, Druski's chain -- which he proudly flashed on social media afterward, writing ... "Surprise Party B*tch Slippin In Studio Richgang." Druski hasn't addressed the incident on any of his platforms.

Of course, the question here is ... is this real or fake??? Frankly, we're not even sure -- because this "beef" between Druski and Birdman has been walking the line of fact and fiction for a while, and Birdman himself certainly seems to think they have actual problems.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

It all stems from this "Coulda Been Records" venture ... which has echoes of Birdman's Cash Money Records, right down to style and design of the logo. From the jump, Baby has made clear he does not approve -- this even though Druski has explained it's all for laughs.

That apparently doesn't matter to Birdman, who has repeatedly faced off with Druski (virtually) telling him to back down ... oftentimes in a pretty threatening way ... which seems legit.

We'll say this ... if this is all BS, kudos to both of them for being committed to the bit, 'cause this level of a skit -- assuming it is one -- is damn impressive. If it isn't ... good luck, Dru. 😬

Birdman "Se va encima" de Druski... Amenazante video de vigilancia

111123-druski-kal
Abalanzándose sobre Druski

El constante troleo de Druski a Birdman parece que finalmente le está pasando la cuenta, o al menos eso parece al ver este material de vigilancia que muestra al ejecutivo "tirándose encima" de su compañero.

TMZ Hip Hop obtuvo algunas imágenes bastante impactantes que, según nos dicen, muestran al líder de Cash Money y algunos matones, literalmente, cayendo sobre y enfrentándose violentamente con Druski y compañía en una sesión de estudio en la que estuvo la estrella viral la noche del viernes en Los Ángeles.

Echa un vistazo al video, en él se puede ver a Birdman y a sus dos amigos frente a frente con Druski en una escalera, y las cosas se calientan rápidamente, con Baby aparentemente incluso tratando de poner las manos sobre Dru.

Una pelea menor sobreviene, y Druski y sus amigos se caen por las escaleras a medida que tratan de escapar. Luego hacen una carrera por los pasillos del estudio, mientras Birdman los persigue de cerca. Nos dicen que Dru acababa de terminar el rodaje de su reality show, "Coulda Been House", cuando esto sucedió y por lo que parece, Birdman se enteró.

También parece que Birdman se salió con la suya hasta cierto punto, pues se quedó con la cadena de Druski que mostró con orgullo en las redes sociales después, escribiendo: "Surprise Party B*tch Slippin In Studio Richgang". Druski no se ha referido al incidente en ninguna de sus plataformas.

Por supuesto, la pregunta es, ¿es esto real o falso? Francamente, ni siquiera estamos seguros porque esta "bronca" entre Druski y Birdman ha estado rozando la línea de la realidad y la ficción por un tiempo, aunque parece que Birdman ciertamente piensa que sus problemas son reales.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Todo se deriva de la empresa "Coulda Been Records", que tiene ciertos ecos de Cash Money Records de Birdman, hasta el estilo y el diseño del logotipo. Desde su estrellato, Baby ha dejado claro que no lo aprueba, a pesar de que Druski ha explicado que todo es para reírse.

Al parecer eso no le importa a Birdman, quien se ha enfrentado en repetidas ocasiones con Druski (virtualmente) diciéndole que no siga adelante, a menudo de una manera bastante amenazante, lo que parece legítimo.

Vamos a decir esto, si todo esto es mentira, felicitaciones a los dos por estar comprometidos con el bit, porque este nivel de sketch -suponiendo que lo es- es condenadamente impresionante. Si no lo es, buena suerte, Dru. 😬

'RHOM' ALEXIA NEPOLA AIRPORT MELTDOWN ON ADRIANA DE MOURA ... Confronts Costar Over Financial Struggle Claims!!!

A screaming match broke out between "The Real Housewives of Miami" stars Alexia Nepola and Adriana de Moura after landing in Miami Monday following their appearance at BravoCon.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the pair exchanged hefty words when Alexia confronted Adriana near baggage claim in an explosive situation that resembled something you'd see on the show ... telling Adriana the claims she made on the new season of the Bravo show that she and her husband Todd were financially struggling was f***ed.

We're told Adriana told Alexia, "You act like you're the star of the show," -- with her barking back, "Yes, I am the star of the show!"

Adriana, dressed in a COVID mask and white gloves, was overheard telling her costar Julia Lemigova Alexia had it out for her because she's the weakest ... adding she was mean to her and telling Julia, "This is your friend ... do you see what she does to me? Do you want to be friends with this person?"

Our sources say the war of words was so volatile ... fellow cast member Kiki Barth was overheard urging the ladies to reign it in before someone in the airport started recording them.

The blowout yelling match ended with the two reality stars going their separate ways to their cars.

The dramatic Miami meltdown was a result of Adriana commenting on Alexia and Todd's alleged financial struggles during the premiere episode of the new season.

In response, Alexia says she's anything but cash-strapped and that she and Todd are "doing just fine" and "laughing all the way to the bank."

Alexia Nepola de 'RHOM' Crisis en el aeropuerto con Adriana de Moura...

Una pelea a gritos estalló entre las estrellas de "The Real Housewives of Miami" Alexia Nepola y Adriana de Moura después de aterrizar en el aeropuerto de Miami el lunes, tras su aparición en BravoCon.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que la pareja intercambió fuertes palabras cuando Alexia se enfrentó a Adriana cerca de la entrega de equipajes, en una situación que más se parece a algo que veríamos en el show. Durante la discusión, Alexia le dijo a Adriana que las afirmaciones que hizo en la nueva temporada del show de Bravo, de que ella y su marido Todd estaban luchando financieramente, estaban jodidas.

Nos dicen que Adriana le dijo a Alexia: "Actúas como si fueras la estrella del programa", a lo que ella le gritó: "¡Sí, soy la estrella del programa!".

Adriana, vestida con una máscara de COVID y guantes blancos, fue escuchada diciéndole a su compañera Julia Lemigova que Alexia tenía que acercarse a ella para arreglar las cosas, añadiendo que la trata muy mal. "Esta es tu amiga, ¿ves lo que me hace? ¿Quieres ser amiga de esta persona?", se supone que le dijo a Julia.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la guerra de palabras fue tan intensa que su compañero de reparto Kiki Barth fue escuchada instando a las damas a que se calmaran antes de que alguien en el aeropuerto comenzara a grabarlas.

La pelea terminó con las dos estrellas del reality yendo por caminos separados a sus carros.

La dramática pelea en Miami fue el resultado de los comentarios de Adriana sobre las supuestas dificultades financieras de Alexia y Todd durante el episodio de estreno de la nueva temporada.

En respuesta, Alexia dice que ella puede ser cualquier cosa, pero no está corta de dinero y que ella y Todd están "muy bien" y "haciendo un montón de dinero".

Jim Jones Dee-1 Better Stop Mentioning Me ... There's Consequences For Your Actions!!!

Jim Jones got highly emotional responding to Dee-1's recent criticisms about his music ... even hinting he'd take things to the ring if needed.

The Byrd Gang leader appeared on Sway's Universe Friday -- the same platform Dee used to voice his gripes over the murderous themes in the music of Jim, Rick Ross and Meek Mill.

Similar to Rozay's response, Jim opted to focus on his years of philanthropy and his fellow posse vouched for his efforts.

DEFENDING HIMSELF

He also defended the content of his music ... declaring it to be rough because of the environment he was raised in but maintained his music always contains spiritual elements ... his first album was named "On My Way To Church" y'know.

Jim said he was really peeved over Dee using his name for fame and the New Orleans rapper should've contacted him offline if he really wanted to have a conversation ... but that window passed.

He denied promoting violence ... but warned Dee should keep his hand down when he sees him because he's seen shirts get wrinkled for less!!!

Sway assured Jim that Dee isn't on a clout-chasing mission but the Harlem boss wasn't convinced and said he was done talking about Dee, so that's that.

Revered producer 9th Wonder eventually entered the chat to defend Dee-1 on all his stances -- when it comes to children.

He says adults should stream the change they want to hear.

Grammy Nominations 2024 Chris Brown, Robert Glasper Rematch Set ... After Breezy's Rant Last Year

Chris Brown will get the chance for competitive revenge against Robert Glasper -- the Recording Academy announced noms for the 66th annual Grammy Awards, and both artists are up for Best R&B Performance!

Last year's winner Muni Long did the honors Friday morning ... revealing Chris' "Summer Too Hot" and Robert's "Back To Love" (feat. SiR and Alex Isley) would be facing off for Grammy gold.

If you recall, CB totally blew his top in February when Robert beat him out for Best R&B Album ... basically writing him off as a nobody before actually doing his homework on RG's legacy.

THANKS CHRIS!!!
TMZ.com

Rob told TMZ Hip Hop that Breezy's disses were no sweat off his brow, and he would still be down to collaborate with him, despite the poor sportsmanship.

Chris just dropped his new album "11:11" on Friday with a robust 22 tracks, including the nominated one, "Summer Too Hot." So, it appears the game is still on!!!

Music released between Oct. 1, 2022 and Sept. 15, 2023 was considered -- and neither Chris nor Rob is automatic to win the category.

Victoria Monet's ballad "How Does It Make You Feel," Coco Jones' breakout smash "ICU" and clear favorite SZA's "Kill Bill" are also up for the award.

Should Rob pull up the dubya though, someone might want to hold onto Chris' phone ... just for a few days.

Dee-1 Vs. Rick Ross Older Rappers Need To Stop Glorifying Murder ... Rozay Says He's A Philanthropist

Dee-1 and Rick Ross have been engaged in a war of words on IG for days ... all stemming from Dee's open disapproval of Rozay's new "Shaq & Kobe" collab with Meek Mill.

110123_rick_ross_kal
DEFENDING HIMSELF

The "Uno" rapper recently appeared on Sway's Universe ... where Dee called out Ross, Meek and Jim Jones for still glorifying killing people in their music after so many hip hop artists have been slain.

Dee lumped Meek, Jim and Rozay into a category he calls "DGs" -- aka disappointing grown-ups, and told a story of how he once spearheaded a shoe giveaway in his New Orleans hometown for Meek's Reform Alliance ... speaking to the movement's strength.

Meek claimed 1st Amendment for his part but Ross didn't take too kindly and dissed Dee for questioning his place in the community, citing his Thanksgiving turkey drives and other contributions for 20 straight years across Miami-Dade!!!

110623_dee_1_rick_ross2-kal
THIS IS FOR YOU

Dee took Ross' "baskethead" snipes in stride but explained to the MMG rapper he was actually criticizing his status as a Hip Hop OG who's still detailing graphic murders like he did on the "Shaq & Kobe" track.

Dee also explained to Rozay that he wasn't clout-chasing ... he's collaborated with several of Rozay's peers and has a long track record of giving back himself, although that wasn't the point of the debate.

Several of their peers were also watching the debate from the sidelines ... Teddy Riley's calling it game, set, match in favor of Dee. 👀

Soulja Boy Unloads On J. Cole & Big Sean ... Your Opinions Are Irrevelant To My Success!!!

110623_soulja_boy_kal
"WHO THE F*** IS YOU???"

UPDATE

3:55 PM PT -- Time hasn't cooled Soulja Boy's jets ... he's still dumping on J. Cole well into Monday afternoon and now is threatening to do the Dreamville rapper bodily harm.

He's also noting to fans that Drake just gave Cole his first No. 1 song when he wrote his first one at age 17. SB thinks there's no career comparison.

Soulja Boy isn't taking any perceived disrespect from J. Cole and Big Sean -- and he's letting them both know about it ... in only a way that Soulja himself could.

The "Crank Dat" rapper held court with his IG followers this weekend, where he gave both Cole and Sean a tongue-lashing for the ages ... all 'cause he feels like they're dogging him and his legacy, especially JC -- who spoke on Soulja pretty recently.

110623_j_cole_kal
FROM HATER TO APPRECIATER
A Safe Place Podcast

Of course, we're referring to Cole's interview with Lil Yachty the other week -- in which he attempted to give SB his props as a trailblazer -- but in the same breath, admitting he wasn't a fan of the dude at first, and that he simply didn't mesh with his rap purist taste.

Ultimately, it was a compliment ... but Soulja Boy took it as a back-handed one -- which is why he's cussing Cole out here. As for Sean, he got roped into this over past anti-SB remarks.

Soulja took the opportunity to slam both of 'em ... and said they owe their careers to him.

BTW, SB used his trendsetter status to deliver what he felt was the final nail in Cole's coffin -- thousands of people dressed up as him for Halloween this year ... while nobody wanted to copy Cole's unique dressed-down look.

Time will tell if SB will move past this beef -- but we assume Cole is somewhere thinking this is exactly why I don't do interviews!!!
