Tory Lanez Fires Back At Don Q With “Don Queen”

He says the Bronx rapper is living in A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s shadow.

Just days after Don Q dropped a diss track aimed at Tory Lanez, the Toronto MC fired back with “Don Queen.” Using the beat of Drake’s Pusha-T diss “Duppy Freestyle,” Tory goes after Don Q for being overshadowed by his fellow Highbridge MC A Boogie wit da Hoodie and more.

The track kicks off with a clip from Nicki Minaj’s 2018 appearance on Funkmaster Flex’s Hot 97 show, where Nicki revealed that she had never heard of the Bronx rapper before.

Tory kicks things off by saying Don Q lives in the shadow of A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie:

But how did I get in this battle with A Boogie’s shadow?
Big Apple, New York City, more to pity
How could I beef with a dude who only poppin' in four cities?

He reinforces this point a few lines later by comparing the two rappers' commercial success:

Highbridge, the Label, but only one of y'all on TV
Only one of y'all’ll see awards and eat with the stars
It ain’t really hard to figure out who I’m speakin' up for

Tory also references “Everything Nice (Remix),” Don Q’s 2017 collaboration with DreamDoll:

You paid Dream Doll for a feature to get the pussy
And somehow you think you fuckin' with me
Thee first night I seen Dream Doll I fucked her for free
And now you walk around like somehow you got one up on me

Soon after, he drops a Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em reference:

This nigga found Soulja Boy’s Gucci headband and wore it in his cover art

Soulja Boy has worn the same Gucci headband in multiple recent interviews, becoming the butt of jokes. In the artwork for Don Q’s “I’m Not Joyner” diss track, the Bronx rapper wears a very similar headband:

Tory also claims that Don Q has a sexually transmitted infection:

I got a real message for my brother Quincy, my nigga, it’s time to go get tested
It’s a couple hoes in Starlets I know you infected
You really out here fuckin' raw with a scrotum infection
And what’s worse is you know it, still you go unprotected
You need to focus on a hit, need to go get a record
See you can find a Don Q in the ho nigga section
Go get injected with whatever medicine you need to clear up
‘Cause them pills ain’t workin’ for every time it flare up

He claims that he got this information from the mother of Don Q’s child—the rapper has a young daughter.

Later on, he jabs Don Q for a 2017 arrest on gun and marijuana charges:

Put the gun aside, my nigga, you ain’t the one to shoot
Big guns, nigga, you got locked for a 22
Pussy gotta keep a gun on his waist
‘Cause you lil’ niggas scared to get punched in your face

He finishes things off with one last reference to the relationship dynamic between Don Q and A Boogie:

‘Cause this record right here’s 'bout to give you more shine than A Boogie ever gave you in your whole career

Don Q dropped his “I’m Not Joyner” diss track on Saturday, accusing Tory Lanez of biting his style. He pointed to a 2017 freestyle on Funk Flex’s Hot 97 show, which seemed to mirror a freestyle Don Q did a year earlier. He was also upset about Tory’s recent claim to be “the best rapper alive right now.”
