Everyone’s favorite kind-of-comical but kind-of-brilliant rapper RiFF RAFF took the mic to call out James Franco and Spring Breakers, the film that he’s currently suing due to the controversial portrayal of Franco’s character, Alien, and his undeniable similarities with the Texan rapper. Although it’s still unsure if he intends to sue the director, movie or Franco himself, RiFF RAFF manages to take time away from his “lawyer team” to drop another track. Freestyling over Kirko Bangz’s “Shirt By Versace,” the lyrics not only claim that he should’ve been in the movie, but also takes a jab at Franco for trying to covet his style. Check out the song below.
