As the dispute between rappers Big Naughty and Swings continues, Lil Boi has entered the exchange, adding another layer to the ongoing conflict within the Korean hip-hop scene.
On the 22nd, Lil Boi uploaded a diss track titled ‘That Hyung’ on his YouTube channel. Although he does not directly name a target, many listeners interpret the lyrics as being aimed at Swings. The track includes lines such as “What you need is a yes-man,” “If the signing doesn’t happen, they become an enemy,” and “You threaten my younger bros so they can’t make music.”
He also delivers lines like “Maybe you’re a good hyung to the younger kids, I hope this time that friendship lasts forever,” and “People can change. I believe that,” which have been read as references to both past relationships and the current situation. Lil Boi is affiliated with H1GHR MUSIC alongside Big Naughty, which has further drawn attention to his involvement.
The conflict began with Big Naughty’s April 16 release ‘INDUSTRY KNOW.’ In the track, he raised allegations that Swings had unilaterally disposed of former artists’ neighboring rights and also claimed he was assaulted in a private setting.
Swings responded through a livestream, denying the accusations. He stated, “Selling neighboring rights was a decision for company management and to protect the artists,” and added that “a significant portion of the proceeds from the deal was distributed to artists under the label.” Addressing the assault claim, he said, “I was actually the victim,” asserting that Big Naughty initiated physical contact.
On the 23rd, Big Naughty released a second diss track, ‘On the Toilet,’ continuing his response. In the song, he criticizes Swings’ explanation with lines such as “Nice livestream, you didn’t look so good,” and “You dodged the core issues and derailed the conversation.”
Regarding the physical altercation, he maintained his stance, saying, “Saying I swung first is a warped memory,” and called for the release of full CCTV footage without edits. He also described the situation in more detail, claiming he was holding a champagne glass when someone pushed in first, which led to the confrontation.
With Lil Boi now participating, the situation has expanded beyond an exchange between two artists. Online reactions remain divided, with listeners continuing to debate the claims and responses from both sides.
