NFL Drama Explodes: Johnny Manziel Goes Off on Gilly Da Kid for Clowning Cam Newton’s Super Bowl Record
It started off as just another day in sports media—a little back-and-forth between Cam Newton and Gilly Da Kid over a simple opinion. Cam Newton, never one to shy away from controversy, had declared that Jalen Hurts wasn’t in his top 10 quarterbacks. For most, it was just a hot take. But for Gilly, a Philadelphia Eagles superfan and beloved podcaster, it was personal. The two began exchanging playful jabs online, each taking shots at the other’s career.
Cam, never missing a beat, clapped back with a pointed question:
“Gilly, can you name one Gilly The Kid album? Can you quote any of his music? We don’t know you as a rapper—we know you as a podcaster. Step aside, sir.”

The crowd laughed, and the internet ate it up. But Gilly wasn’t done. At his own birthday party, he took his turn—holding the Super Bowl trophy, he taunted Cam:
“Never had one of these, Cam! Never got one of these!”
It was classic sports banter, but then things took a wild turn.
Enter Johnny Manziel, the former NFL quarterback known as much for his off-field antics as his on-field talent. Watching the drama unfold, Johnny couldn’t resist jumping in. He saw Gilly’s video mocking Cam and took to X (formerly Twitter) with a fiery response:
“Yo, Gilly Kid, you may be the biggest effing loser on the planet. Talking like you’ve ever done anything on a football field. If I see you, just know I’m going to slap the f*** out of you.”
The internet exploded. Fans and followers couldn’t believe Johnny would take things so far. Gilly, never one to back down, responded with his signature swagger:
“Out of all the people you could mess with, Johnny, what made you stop at me? You really think you’re just going to slap me and walk away like nothing’s going to happen? We’re going to have to put a bet on how many days you’ll be in the hospital after that—my guess is thirteen and a half.”
The banter escalated, with both sides exchanging threats and taunts, while fans watched in disbelief. What started as a debate over NFL quarterbacks had spiraled into a full-blown celebrity beef, with social media buzzing over who would come out on top.
As the dust settled, one thing was clear: in the world of sports and entertainment, egos clash as fiercely off the field as on it. And sometimes, the real action happens online, where every comment can spark a firestorm.
