The Henchmen killed a close friend of Carti’s named Bigg Sosa, which is what prompted Carti to channel his anger into this diss.
On this track, Carti alleges that he had his gang shank Ola Runt in prison, and also claims the Henchmen’s hang-out spot, Front Street in Atlanta.
Ola has since responded on Instagram, saying “Diss songs don’t bring back dead niggas.” Henchmen member Woo da Savage also responded, claiming that Carti had never even been to Front Street.

The song "Stop Breathing" by Playboi Carti is a dark and violent rap anthem that touches on themes of homicide, mob ties, and the rapper's own madness. The hook of the song, where Playboi Carti repeatedly says he takes his shirt off and all the hoes stop breathing, suggests a sense of power and control over those around him. The lyrics seem to convey a sense of recklessness and danger, with lines like "I've been thinking 'bout homicide," and mentions of carrying a gun just in case someone tries him.
In addition to the violent themes, the song also touches on Playboi Carti's personal life, with references to his brother's death and his own sense of madness. He mentions spending time with Lil' Demon and Lil' Beno, who appear to be part of his inner circle, and boasts about his "mob ties," suggesting a connection to organized crime. The line "I fucked my biggest fan in the fuckin' green room" hints at a rockstar lifestyle and a willingness to indulge in vices.
Overall, "Stop Breathing" is a hard-hitting rap song that explores dark themes and presents a picture of a ruthless and dangerous artist.
