The beef started after a Twitter user shared screenshot of Kweli's recnet criticism of Noname, whom he accused of propagating unproven claims about his treatment of women. Noname dismissed Kweli’s comments as a lie, insisting she never compared him to Tory Lanez. Noname hit up Kweli directly in the comments, demanding him to stop lying about what she said. Kweli then shared a screenshot of a tweet posted by Noname in July 2020, where she referenced him and Tory in the same tweet. Talib then tweeted, “Why is No Name lying tho? So she can lie and tell her supporters that I harassed a black woman for weeks, offer NO proof of this lie, cite not one source for proof? but I can’t mention that she lied on me while chastising Black men for allegedly not speaking up about Tory Lanez? … I was a fan of this artist.
