Johnny Manziel Fires Threat at Gillie Da Kid Over Cam Newton Diss
Jordan Collins here. I guess I can simplify this for you: Johnny Manziel is stirring the pot after Gillie Da Kid dissed Cam Newton. If you missed the story, here is the blow-by-blow.
In a recent Twitter tirade, Manziel took aim at podcast host Gillie Da Kid after Gillie flaunted a Super Bowl trophy and mocked Cam Newton for never winning one. The feud ignited when Newton released a top 10 quarterback list that excluded Eagles star Jalen Hurts, triggering Gillie’s vocal disdain as a die-hard Birds supporter.
On July 31, Gillie Da Kid dropped a clip on his “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast showing off his Super Bowl ring and taunting, “This is what winning looks like, Cam. You never had this.” That jab prompted Manziel to unleash an expletive-filled tweet calling Gillie “the biggest fucking loser on the planet” and vowing, “If I see you, just know I’m going to slap the fuck out of you, trust.”
Manziel did not stop there. In a follow-up post he told Gillie to “take Jalen’s you-know-what out of your mouth,” making it clear he was defending Newton’s honor with zero filter. The former Browns quarterback’s over-the-top reaction drew instant attention across social media.
Other ex-NFL figures quickly weighed in. Analysts like Ryan Clark, Hall of Famer Terrell Owens and quarterback turned commentator Dan Orlovsky questioned Newton’s quarterback rankings and poked fun at the escalating drama. Their commentary added fuel to the online firestorm.
Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts has stayed quiet despite being the root of the dispute. Hurts led the Eagles to a Super Bowl LIX victory over the Chiefs this year, yet he remains an unintentional spectator in this Twitter brawl.
Remember, this is not Manziel’s first rodeo when it comes to public spats. After winning the 2012 Heisman Trophy, he became the NFL’s first-round pick but soon gained notoriety for off-field incidents. His later stint in the Canadian Football League and frequent social media outbursts show why he might lash out so fiercely.
On the other side, Gillie Da Kid has built a massive following with his “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, mixing sports takes, celebrity interviews and streetwise commentary. His willingness to blend football analysis with personal digs keeps listeners hooked and opponents on edge.
As for Cam Newton, he earned NFL MVP honors in 2015 but never clinched a Lombardi Trophy. Although he has not played professionally since 2021, his accolades and style continue to spark debate over where he ranks among today’s quarterbacks.
Stay tuned as this social media saga unfolds, because you can bet all sides are sharpening their tweets and waiting for the next round of zingers.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
