Recent events that transpired on Twitter (or X, take your pick) left netizens in splits when the official New York and New Jersey accounts went loggerheads with each other.

What started off as a petty argument escalated to a digital cage match real quick as the gloves officially came off. Fans on both sides couldn't get enough of this hilarious exchange as the post went viral on social media.


X beef between official NJ and NYC accounts sends fans into a frenzy

The drama began when the admin of New York, in all their infinite wisdom, decided to throw shade at New Jersey without any provocation. The NYC account stirred up the trouble by describing NJ as having delusions of grandeur and labeled it as:

"A side character having main character energy (derogatory)"

The derogatory term used in brackets only adds to the absurdity of the tweet. New Jersey then responded back with a witty remark about having main character energy while NYC was still stuck with rats. Cue the audible gasp from the audience.

This altercation between NJ and NYC, official accounts at that, inspired fans from NYC and NJ to jump into the ring to rally behind their city. While the fan wars were going on on Twitter, some fans feared for the worst as they tried to play peacemakers:

"Yall are both nasty to me", joked one fan (via X / @topsykr3t)

Another fan shared a GIF that summed up the worries of netizens perfectly:

Unwilling to let the other off the hook, fans jumped in with disses about the other city. The debate got so heated that even the age-old bagel debate made its way over to the conversation, which we won't go into here.

The hilarious back-and-forth got fans riled up as New Yorkers and New Jersey fans flooded the timeline with memes and GIFs:

"I thought about moving to Jersey so I can have a good view of New York", quipped one fan (via X / @inrecra)
"They clapped tf back with the rats mention", another fan chimed in (via X / @smooviez)

Another fan quipped that the diss was meant for Kai Cenat instead:

The heated interaction on X prompted fans to debate the possible identity of the NYC admin who threw an unsolicited jab at NJ. While some fans blamed a sleep-deprived intern, others hilariously zeroed in on Chief Keef, the rapper who has a troubled history with New Jersey:

"I know it's chief keef behind that account", joked one fan (via X / @briggsmetax)

Amidst the chaos on X, one fan tried to stop the tribal wars by coming up with a rather unique solution:

"I dont get it why they shoot against each other when they both just could shoot against California"

The X interaction between the official New York and New Jersey accounts led to a frenzied atmosphere on the internet. Fan tribal wars were in full flow, with fans memeing everything from pork rolls to subway rodents.

Whether you're team NYC or team NJ, the feud certainly provides a testament to the friendly rivalry between the two states.

And to be honest, we're not complaining. We're hoping for more such spontaneous acts of aggression from both sides!
