Everyone in the hip-hop scene knows that You and C.O. are the most famous rivals in Chinese rap. Back when C.O. left the R.A.R. label, their diss tracks were full of barbs, and they swore they would never speak to each other again.
Three years later, one has become a top-tier star mentor on a rap variety show, while the other is a dark horse contestant returning after lying low.
The whole internet is betting that the day they appear on the same show will bring a storm of drama.
Then, at the recording, one of the mentors listened to C.O. finish his song. "Contestant, please keep in mind that this is a variety show recording. Using diss as an excuse to ride a mentor's coattails is not allowed."
C.O. smiled calmly. "Oh, then can I diss him under the excuse of riding a mentor's coattails?"
You, the person being dissed: "If you're good-looking, you can."
C.O.: "...Get lost."
Netizens: "...Guys, come look! Is this a diss back or a confession? I can't tell!"
The netizens who had been waiting for a laugh ended up shipping them like crazy. So the harshest diss was hiding the truest affection.
Bonus scene:
Netizen: "C.O. has no shame. All he does is ride God You's coattails."
Cong Yan: "You can't call it riding coattails when it comes to rappers. That's called basking in someone's light."
You Xu: "Are you saying I'm your light?"
Cong Yan: "?!"
Netizens: "...Genius interpretation."
I am willing to be your light, so you can stand at the center of the stage and shine.
