Famous Dex comes out of Chicago's Southside.

But the 26-year old says he's done with many of the homies he grew up with.

He explained why he can't ride with his old friends anymore in a video posted to social.

"Because you ain't got nothing going for yourself.  I gave n*ggas platforms, y'all didn't take it. Suck my f*cking success," Dex said, after imitating his former Chicago friends whining about him not messing with them.

Since it's Dex, it's possible the motivation for the rant is simply that he's super high.

But if you think he's put some thought into it, do you think separating yourself from the less successful is a solid strategy?
