Perhaps inspired by J Cole's latest single that was released last night (Jan. 23), or maybe just riding the excitement of his upcoming European tour with Drake, early this morning Tory Lanez took to Twitter to let the world know that he is "the best rapper alive right now."

In a series of tweets he posted around 1 AM, he crowned himself the best rapper before saying he would body any of his competitors, even singling out Cole and Pusha T as two artists that don't want any smoke. 

From there, Lanez not only said he was the best living rapper, but he also predicted that one day he will be the biggest artist in the world. He added that he also doesn't care if you doubt him, because "you will see for yourself in due time."

Sure enough, the Canadian artist has already heard from his fair share of doubters, one of whom is apparently New York's own Don Q. Taking to his own social media, the Bronx rapper wrote to Lanez: "Relax my brother... It'll get ugly," leaving many to wonder if this exchange will be taken to the booth, perhaps similar to the recent battle between Lanez and Joyner Lucas.
