Sleepy Brown is shedding new light on a long-rumored moment of tension between East Coast and Southern hip-hop legends. According to Sleepy, The Notorious B.I.G. took a subtle jab at OutKast in the music video for Big Poppa—and it didn’t go unnoticed.
Sleepy Brown claims the perceived diss led the Dungeon Family to confront Biggie and Diddy directly on their tour bus. While details of the confrontation remain sparse, Sleepy suggests the situation was serious enough to warrant a face-to-face discussion.
He also alleges that Biggie adopted elements of OutKast’s style, specifically pointing to the rapper’s later use of Kangol hats—a look closely associated with the Atlanta duo at the time. The comments have reignited debate among hip-hop fans about influence, regional tension in the ’90s, and how subtle visuals and fashion choices could carry deeper meaning during that era.
As more stories from hip-hop’s golden age continue to surface, Sleepy Brown’s account adds another intriguing chapter to the complex history between two of the culture’s most influential camps.
Sleepy Brown says Biggie dissed OutKast in the “Big Poppa” music video, which led to the Dungeon Family confronting Diddy & Biggie on their tour bus, & says Biggie also took OutKast’s style of wearing Kangol hats.
