A dangerous escalation in the ongoing feud between New York City rap figures and a Rochester-based associate has triggered renewed security concerns, with law enforcement officials now monitoring social media threats that explicitly call for robbery and violence against anyone from the five boroughs. The conflict, ignited by rapper 38 Spech’s public dissing of Jada Kiss and the subsequent involvement of Jim Jones, has now drawn a self-described goon from Rochester who claims he has “finished clapping cheeks” and is ready to enforce a “no fly zone” for New Yorkers entering upstate New York.
In a 𝓿𝒾𝓇𝒶𝓁 video circulated late Wednesday, the unidentified Rochester man, flanked by associates and speaking with a chilling calm, issued a direct ultimatum. “If you from New York City, you can my dick straight up. I don’t give a f—.
It’s 585 versus everybody,” he declared, referencing the Rochester area code. He warned that any person from Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem or the Bronx would be “run out” of the city, adding that even women and so-called “plugs” (𝒹𝓇𝓊𝑔 suppliers) would be robbed. “Send y’all New York City asses back where the y’all came from,” he said, punctuating his rant with laughter.
The immediate trigger appears to be a series of online exchanges between 38 Spech and veteran rapper Jada Kiss. According to a commentary from the Garrison News channel, 38 Spech called Jada Kiss a “hater” and claimed he was “nicer than Jada Kiss” on the microphone. The verbal jabs escalated when Jim Jones, a longtime affiliate of Jada Kiss and a Diplomats member, responded by offering a record deal to a young associate willing to physically confront 38 Spech.
“I just told my young book I’mma give him a deal if he bites you. You ain’t even got enough money to talk to me,” Jones is heard saying in a snippet of the video, which was widely shared on social media.
Jim Jones’ proposal, however, backfired spectacularly when the Rochester goon, who describes himself as a protege of 38 Spech, publicly accepted the challenge on his own terms. “My young boy ain’t going to spare you. [Expletive] will walk you down ASAP.
Don’t get it confused, bro. Tonight we going to walk,” the goon threatened, implying immediate retaliation. He further claimed that a “green light” had been placed on Jones and Jada Kiss, meaning any New York rapper or associated figure would be considered a target in Rochester.
The threat was not limited to verbal sparring. The man directly addressed Jim Jones, stating, “You ain’t even got enough money to talk to me. You not even allowed to be talking to me in any type of way like that.”
He then reiterated that Jones’ young protégé would not be able to stop him. “He already got things going. You understand?
He’s at homeboy foot,” the goon added, referencing a previous incident that remains unclear but appears to involve physical intimidation.
Law enforcement sources have confirmed they are reviewing the footage. The Rochester Police Department issued a statement urging calm and reminding residents that making terroristic threats or inciting violence is a felony. “We are aware of the video and are taking it seriously.
Any attempts to harm individuals based on their origin or affiliation will be met with full prosecution,” said a department spokesperson, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Garrison News narrator, who introduced the original video, warned that the situation is about to become “real dark and deep.” He urged viewers to “get in tune” and “get familiar” with the escalating tensions. “Homeboy is claiming it’s going to be a highway robbery for any New Yorkers touchdown in Rochester in Galesta.
Homeboy saying male or female, it doesn’t matter. In his eyes, everybody’s a walking lick. Everybody’s a walking stain for dissing 38 speeches,” the narrator explained.
This development comes at a time when hip-hop rivalries have increasingly spilled over into real-world violence. In recent years, a series of high-profile incidents, including the murder of rapper XXXTentacion and the shooting of Pop Smoke, have highlighted the dangers of online disputes that turn physical. The Rochester threat echoes similar “no fly zone” rhetoric used by gangs in other cities to discourage rival performers from touring or visiting certain neighborhoods.
Legal experts note that the Rochester man’s explicit call to rob and beat anyone from New York City, combined with the reference to a “green light,” could be construed as conspiracy to commit robbery and assault. “If he acts on these threats, or if someone else acts on his behalf because of the statements, he could be held criminally liable,” said criminal defense attorney Marc Fernandez. “There is a fine line between bravado and incitement.
This video crosses that line.”
The original conflict traces back to a diss track by 38 Spech aimed at Jada Kiss, in which Spech accused the veteran rapper of jealousy and claimed superiority on the mic. Jada Kiss reportedly responded with a series of social media posts, but it was Jim Jones who escalated the situation by offering a financial incentive for physical action. Jones’ call for a “deal” has been criticized by some fans as reckless, but his camp has not issued a public statement as of press time.
Meanwhile, the Rochester goon’s rhetoric has galvanized a segment of the upstate New York rap scene. Several local artists have posted support for the “585” position, using the area code as a rallying cry against perceived disrespect from New York City rappers. Others, however, have called for peace, noting that the region has already experienced enough gun violence.
“What’s understood don’t have to be explained on the dead homies, on the fallen soldiers,” the goon said in his video, signaling an allegiance to lost friends. “This your boy OG product, man. Y’all know the Schlingo fool.
Y’all know the Schweps.” His reference to “Schlingo” and “Schweps” appears to be a local slang for associates and weaponry, further suggesting a preparedness for confrontation.
The violence threat has not yet resulted in any reported incidents. However, several New York-based rappers have reportedly canceled planned performances in Rochester and surrounding areas. A representative for one artist, who asked not to be named, told The Associated Press, “We are not going to put our talent in harm’s way.
Until the climate changes, we won’t be going upstate.”
The feud also raises questions about the role of social media platforms in amplifying such threats. The video, initially posted on a channel called “Garrison News,” has been removed by YouTube for violating community guidelines against violent threats. But reposts on Twitter and Instagram continue to circulate, reaching tens of thousands of viewers.
The Rochester goon himself has since deactivated his account, though screenshots of his comments remain.
In the video, after his first round of threats, the man alternated between humor and menace, laughing as he said, “You from Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem. I don’t give a f— where you from. Suck a dick.
Your mama too. And your grandma.” That level of vitriol has left many observers unsettled, especially given the real-world consequences of such language in communities already struggling with gun violence.
Interviews with residents of Rochester reveal mixed reactions. Some see the threats as empty posturing, typical of rap beefs that rarely proceed beyond words. Others are genuinely concerned.
“This ain’t just music. This is real life,” said a local business owner who preferred to remain anonymous. “We have people here who will actually act on that.
They’re not playing.”
The Garrison News narrator attempted to frame the conflict within a broader narrative of regional pride. “It’s a no fly zone for the homie to touch down in Rochester to chase a check and get a bag. He’s running them up out of there,” he said, referring to the Rochester goon.
The narrator also criticized those who only watch on YouTube but do not support publicly. “It’s like a person that’s saying they rock with you, but they don’t even follow you on Instagram.”
As the story continues to develop, the focus remains on whether Jim Jones or Jada Kiss will respond to the threats directly. Both have been silent on social media since the video went 𝓿𝒾𝓇𝒶𝓁. Agents for the two rappers could not be reached for comment.
Late Thursday evening, a tweet from an account claiming to be associated with 38 Spech read: “I got my people out here. NYC better stay back.” The tweet has since been deleted.
Law enforcement sources confirm they are in contact with the families of all involved parties. A joint task force between the Rochester Police Department and the New York City Police Department’s Gang Intelligence Unit has been formed to monitor any potential retaliatory actions.
The situation underscores a troubling pattern: the line between lyrical competition and actual criminal behavior continues to blur, leaving fans and authorities wondering where the next threat will come from. For now, the Rochester goon has made his position unmistakable. As he said in the video, “We on you, bro.
You f— me? You know where it is, man.”
The breaking news is clear: the “585 versus everybody” stance has been declared, and the entire New York City hip-hop community is now on notice. Any rapper, producer, or fan from the boroughs who dares to step into Rochester may find themselves in a highway robbery, a beating, or worse. The clock is ticking on whether this threat will remain just a video or become a headline.
