Memphis Bleek had a little fun on social media this week, while keeping an ongoing conversation with Tony Yayo alive.

The Roc-A-Fella rapper shared a photo on X of himself performing for a packed crowd, along with a light jab aimed at Yayo in the caption: "tell hype man yayo let's see his show."

While the post came with several laughing emojis and wasn't hostile, it still sparked conversation online, given the recent dialogue between Bleek and the G-Unit veteran.

Earlier this month, Bleek appeared on Drink Champs, where he addressed comments Yayo made earlier in the year comparing Bleek's relationship with Jay-Z to his own bond with 50 Cent. Yayo had suggested that 50 looked out for him more than Hov did for Bleek.

"I seen something Tony Yayo said, Hov don't look out for me like 50 look out for him. I just want to clear that up, Hov don't have to," Bleek said. "I'm chewing a lot on my own. If Hov look out, I'm telling you, I'll be up there. So when y'all see me out here, that's the Blizzo budget. I just want to let n***as know Hov don't have to."

Yayo originally stirred the pot during an episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, where he questioned whether Jay-Z and Bleek truly shared the same level of loyalty he has with 50 Cent.

"It's a difference. Jay-Z, never really like…Memphis Bleek, you would say he was his friend, but it was different for us. Me and 50 was more friends," Yayo said. "I'm not saying them n***as wasn't friends, but when you look at me and Fif… I feel like me and Fif have more of a friendship because Jay-Z is more business."

Yayo has long credited 50 for looking out for him over the years, especially when it comes to life on tour, implying other artists don't do the same.

"You gotta understand, lot of artists don't get treated [well]," he told VladTV last year. "People think that Fif is a bad guy, but when you're staying in the Four Seasons… you staying at the W in Bahrain sipping Ranis on the water."
