On Thursday, March 16, the 54-year-old wrote on Instagram, "@billboard I see [you] did 10 best rappers which is well respeked." He added, "But what about tha CEO who made tha way for these rappers to be Supa stars fought tha battle behind doors so they kan be super stars."

"Put some respek on my name and stop playin with me," he continued in the since-deleted post. "I'm tha best to ever doit nothing but love for all CEO ever in 50yrs of hip hop we held it down cash money rich gang STUNNAMAN tha best ever #THEGOATMAKER I doit do 4MS GLADYS #dont lie @cashmoneyofficial."

Hours later, Birdman shared a screenshot of a best CEOs list, which showed him at the top spot. However, he disagreed that Sean "P. Diddy" Combs deserved second place.

"P from @QC should be 2nd no doubt no shade jus bein real gangsta CMRG," the emcee, whose real name is Bryan Christopher Williams, penned in the caption. "My [opinion] @cashmoneyofficial."
