Troy Ave Appears to Call Taxstone a ‘Hater’ in Twitter Exchange

Troy Ave and Taxstone appeared to have gone back and forth with each other on Twitter.

On Friday (March 10), Troy Ave seemed to have called Taxstone a “hater” during a heated Twitter exchange. It all started when Taxstone tweeted on Thursday (March 9), “Can’t wait for this delusional lying ass bozo to testify on Monday !!!”

Although the embattled former podcaster, born Daryl Campbell, didn’t mention any names, he may be referring to Troy Ave since he’s on trial for the infamous 2016 shooting at Irving Plaza in New York City that took the life of the rapper’s bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter.

Taxstone‘s attorney, Kenneth Montgomery, has confirmed to XXL that Troy Ave, born Roland Collins, is expected to testify in his client’s trial on Monday (March 13).

“Yes, he is. He is expected to testify concerning his cooperation,” he said in a statement.

Troy Ave, possibly in response to Taxstone’s tweet, wrote on Friday: “A call to action is crazy [rolling on the floor laughing emoji] ‘I can’t wait’ Said the person with nothing but time [skull emoji]…his friends cooked him [steak emoji] VERY WELL DONE! I might jus bring the dessert , wat kind y’all want!? [four tears of joy emoji] #UnSafeTho.”

The “UnSafeTho” hashtag may be a flip on Taxstone’s often used hashtag #BeSafeTho.

Troy then tweeted a strange message to President Barack Obama and possibly called Taxstone a “hater” in his tweet.

“Dear @POTUS44 [President Obama] this Hater tryna frame the murder of MY FRIEND on Me. I’m innocent I boomed @ the hater of self defense! His Mans Caswell & Malcolm ate the [cheese] on him already! My new album gon be called ‘DEAR HATER I WON’ pre order uP MONDAY!” he wrote.

On Saturday (March 11), Taxstone delivered several tweets that are seemingly aimed at Troy Ave.

“Rejecting self reflection at any cost,” he began his Twitter rant. Lowlifes think the most highly of themselves.”

“Keeping their face far from mirrors but placing them in front of everyone else’s face,” he continued. “Sometimes we get lost and have to find ourselves but never forget to self reflect[.]”

Twitter beefs aside, it will be interesting to see what happens during Taxstone’s trial on Monday.
