Ambush vs Chip: The War Enters a New Phase

The tension between Ambush and Chip has officially boiled over. After months of subliminals, coded bars and speculation, the long-simmering rivalry erupted over the Christmas break, turning into one of the most talked-about rap clashes the UK has seen in recent years.

Ambush fired the opening official shot by stepping into the Plugged In booth with Fumez The Engineer. The freestyle was anything but casual - direct, pointed and clearly aimed at Chip who wasted no time with his response. His answer came in the form of ‘Plugged Out’, a calculated diss that reminded listeners why he’s long been regarded as one of the sharpest minds in UK rap warfare.

With both artists now having one official diss on the table, Ambush pushed the clash further with ‘Mid-Boss’. The response was heavier, more aggressive and arguably more revealing. Alongside sharper bars aimed squarely at Chip, Ambush leaned into wider cultural commentary and introduced unseen receipts and DMs, adding a new layer of intrigue to the beef. As a follow-up diss, it landed with real weight and showed intent to escalate rather than retreat.

Chip’s reply came swiftly once again. ‘Pest Control’ arrived as a quick-fire counter, leaning into precision rather than spectacle. While some fans debate whether it hit as hard as Ambush’s last outing, the track underlined Chip’s greatest strength in clashes: clarity, composure and elite-level rapping under pressure. It was less about shock value and more about control.

With both sides now trading multiple direct shots, the Ambush vs Chip feud has fully entered battle mode. What began as subtle tension has transformed into a lyrical chess match — and as UK rap watches closely, one thing is certain: neither artist looks ready to back down.
