UPDATE #2: DreamDoll has officially entered the challenge, returning fire to Tory Lanez following the apparent revelation that both him and Don Q had relations with the Love & Hip-Hop member. You can listen to her diss — the impressive “On Ya Head” — below.

Following Don Q‘s first official shot in Tory’s direction (“I’m Not Joyner“), Tory Lanez returns fire with the fairly scathing “Don Queen,” which can be enjoyed below. Hate him or love him, this Canadian is definitely backing his words.
