Trick Daddy has some choice critiques when it comes to Beyoncé and JAY-Z's musical talents.

Earlier this week, comments made by the 46-year-old rapper went viral, where he claimed that Beyoncé, 39, "can't sing" and that JAY-Z, 51, "never won the greatest rapper alive" title.

During a chat that took place on Clubhouse, per Hollywood Unlocked, Trick Daddy criticized the "Flawless" singer "because she see money" and she "ain't trying to give back to music or nothing."

"Beyoncé don't write music and barely can sing her motherf---ing self," he continued. "Beyoncé can't sing."

"Man, I watched my godmama train Beyoncé, vocal lessons all her career," Trick Daddy added, before mentioning JAY-Z within his rant. "I'mma give an unpopular opinion right now — Beyoncé is to R&B what JAY-Z is to New York. That's why they together. JAY-Z ain't never won the greatest rapper alive. Whoever put him on a level like that?"

Shortly after Trick Daddy's initial comments went viral, the rapper was met with the wrath of the singer's loyal legion of fans, collectively known as The Beyhive.

"When Trick Daddy says Beyoncé can't sing…THIS Beyoncé?" one fan wrote alongside a video of Beyoncé singing acapella.

Trick Daddy later elaborated on his opinions on the music couple while chatting with the radio station 99 Jamz Miami on Tuesday, though he stood by his views.

"What I said was, I don't think Beyoncé could sing and that Beyoncé is to R&B what JAY-Z is to the state of hip-hop in New York at the time that JAY-Z began considering himself as the king of hip-hop, the G.O.A.T. of rap, which is my opinion," he said. "And opinions like buttholes — Without them, you'll be full of doo-doo."

"That's my unpopular opinion. Who are you? How you feel? If you gotta walk around here worrying about how somebody else feel about how you feel, then you ain't who you are," Trick Daddy added. "That's my opinion."

Trick Daddy continued to later address his views later that same day in an Instagram Live, which was captured by The Neighborhood Talk. There, he said that he thinks Beyoncé can sing, but not like other vocalists among the likes of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

"She might be your Whitney Houston, that's my opinion," the rapper said.
