Vic Mensas XXXTentacion diss has been revealed, with the rapper calling out the late hip-hop star over domestic abuse allegations.
The BET Hip Hop Awards have been broadcasted just over a week after they were filmed, with reports claiming that Vic, 25, dissed XXXTentacion in a cypher while his grieving mother sat in the audience.
Now, the cypher has been revealed – and while XXXs name was bleeped out in the broadcast, it wasnt at the actual show.
Vics lyrics went: Only time you bear arms is in a wife beater, loser/Your favorite rappers a domestic abuser.
Name a single Vic Mensa song, XXX we all know you wont live that long.

XXXTentacions ex-girlfriend Geneva Ayala was reportedly pregnant with the rappers baby when he allegedly attacked her in 2016.
The rapper, real name Jahseh Onfroy, was facing trial for aggravated battery, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and witness tampering. The charges were dropped two months after Onfroys death.
After the BET Awards were filmed, Mensa was criticised for mentioning XXX in his cypher as the rappers mum Cleopatra Bernard was in the audience.
DJ Scheme tweeted: o bro how u gone say “Your favorite rapper is an abuser” and then follow it with a line saying “some shit X some shit so I wont live long” u can deny it but everyone who was there heard that shit.
Mensa took to Instagram to apologise to XXXs mum, but stood his ground on calling out domestic abuse.
He said: Recently, I did a freestyle for the BET Award cypher addressing and condemning rappers who unabashedly abuse women and those who stand up for them and even call them legends.I stand behind those statements.
It was prerecorded weeks ago and I had no idea a grieving mother would be in the audience to honour her lost son. I never intended to disrespect her and offer my deepest condolences for her loss at the hands of gun violence.

However, I vehemently reject the trend in hip-hop of championing abusers and I will not hold my tongue about it. I dont give a fuck about getting attention. I care about bringing awareness and holding people accountable for their actions.
At the BET Awards, Cleopatra accepted a posthumous award on her late sons behalf as he was named Best New Artist.
XXXTentacion was killed on 18 June when he was shot outside a motorcycle dealership in Florida.
Four men have been arrested in connection with XXXTentacions death.
