Cam Newton, Gillie Da Kid Exchange Feuds Over Eagles QB Jalen Hurts

Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton and rapper-turned-podcaster Gillie Da Kid are embroiled in a heated public feud sparked by Newton's controversial exclusion of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts from his top-10 NFL quarterbacks list. Gillie, a passionate Eagles fan, responded aggressively by celebrating his birthday with the Eagles’ Super Bowl trophy and criticizing Newton’s lack of a championship ring. Newton fired back by mocking Gillie's rap career, highlighting the commercial failure of Gillie's album "Gilladelphia" and calling him a "mascot" for the Eagles, while dismissing Gillie's credibility and challenging his manner of speech. Johnny Manziel also entered the fray, threatening to slap Gillie over his disrespectful comments about Newton. The back-and-forth has drawn attention from fans and former NFL players alike, with many criticizing Newton’s original remarks about Hurts. Despite the personal insults, the feud centers largely on loyalty to Hurts and the Eagles, with both Newton and Gillie leveraging their respective football and music backgrounds in their verbal sparring.
