Cassidy vs. Eazy the Block Captain's battle lasted only for a round before breaking down due to tension between the two rappers, leading to a physical altercation. The video of the rap battle, which was billed as one of the first rap battles for the December 6, 2025, Illadelphia showdown, shows the two getting up close and in each other's faces.Cassidy called the Block Captain's brother a 'snitch' aka an informant, and made ill mentions about his mother, rapping about how she should be in rehab recovery and Eazy Block's hustling raps.Block, in turn, called the former 'a p***y' and other things. Ultimately, the two got emotional and started getting up in each other's faces, as mentioned above.Notably, the rappers were hemmed in from all sides with the crowd at the moment and did not have any space to disengage and move away from each other, something which has been called out by commentators after the rap battle fell apart. At the end, the crowd had to take them apart to prevent a fight, after which the rap battle was cut short by the organizers.Eazy The Block Captain later released a statement to the fans regarding the canceled performance, stating in an Instagram Story Post:"I just tapped in with TBL and due to circumstances at hand, we're making sure the supporters are taken care of.
