08/04/15 – Chip releases “Feeling Myself” (feat. Kano & Wretch 32), the third single from his EP Believe & Achieve EPisode 1. The track includes a couple of subliminal shots at Tinie, however isn’t connected to the beef

04/05/15 – Tinie finally speaks out on the beef and releases “It’s Peak” (feat. Stormzy & Bugzy Malone). Stormzy’s involvement sparks interest because he was recently on a Chip single but Stormz says there was no bad blood

24/07/15 – Bugzy releases Walk with Me EP, littered with sly digs at Chip, enters UK charts at #8

11/09/15 – Chip releases “Light Work”, another diss at Bugzy following his chart success. Chip’s annoyed because he put the public onto Bugzy and now Bugzy’s profiting from it

11/09/15 – Same day, Bugzy Malone tweets his opinion on Chipmunk’s latest send.

14/09/15 – Chip releases “Run Out Riddim” aimed at Bugzy addressing the tweet and several other things.

09/10/15 – Chip releases “96 Bars of Revenge”, in which he disses Bugzy and also taunts Tinie, who he accuses of being too detached from the grime scene to reply without his manager’s permission.

17/10/15 – Tinie takes the scene by surprise, premiering a new Chip diss called “Been the Man” during his set at 1Xtra Live in Leeds. The song features a hook by Stormzy, who had previously tried to detach himself from the beef.

20/10/15 – Chip releases “Coward”, a track tearing into Tinie and implying that he’s too much of a “coward” to release a diss with no features.

21/10/15 – Bugzy announces that his reply, “Wasteman”, will drop at 6pm. Chip promises that once he’s heard it, he’ll write a reply called “Dickhead” and release it by 11pm.

22/10/15 – In the early hours of the morning (about 2AM), Chip releases “Dickhead”. Bugzy has already prepared another diss, entitled “Zombie Riddim”, and releases it six minutes later.

22/10/15 – Later in the day, Chip releases “Duppy Riddim”.
