Dram's back with new music in to plug his upcoming album, Quality Street Music 2 . With Thugger on hook duties, Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan count their wins and losses over this cranker.
They all were taken into custody and charged with felony possession of the weapon because none of them would give up any information as to who was the true owner of the gun. Unfortunately for two of the men arrested with Jeezy, they’ve been hit with 2 additional charges because they are already convicted felons.
The initial investigation which led to the discovery of the weapon was launched after 38-year-old concert promoter Eric Johnson was shot and killed backstage at a recent Wiz Khalifa Under The Influence Tour show.
“When the whole ordeal was going on, I was more disappointed than anything,” Jeezy said in an interview with New York radio station Hot 97. “I messed up a lot of relationships, even with Eminem, just by me putting Gibbs on the record that was for me and, trying to convince Em to do the record, and the record leaking in the process. That burned a great bridge for me. Eminem is my dude. Me putting [Gibbs] on song with T.I. – putting him on three or four of my mixtapes – and me paying for videos that he didn’t use because when he showed up to the set too late for them to shoot, and it’s all my money.”
Jeezy recently also spoke about this issue in July.
“To be honest, it could have,” Jeezy said. “I put him on a song with Eminem. I put him on a song with T.I. I put him on numerous mixtapes that I had. I took him on tour. Took him around the world. I spent money on videos that he didn’t use cause he didn’t like em. And it wasn’t his money. So, at the end of the day my whole thing was to him was ‘I took you to every label in the game. They don’t wanna sign you. I don’t have no reason—I love you. You know what I’m saying? I think your music is dope, but they don’t want to sign you.’ So, at the end of the day when I called him up I was like ‘Yo, I can’t really spend my money on you. I got family, other shit I gotta take care of. So, I’ll help you all I can, but I can’t fund it anymore.’ Cool. Conversation went well. We got off the conversation it was straight, love. I hear diss records. What I’m supposed to do? I’m not replying to that. Nigga, we getting money…At the end of the day we all tried. It didn’t work. That shit happens in business all the time.”
Speaking with Elliott Wilson, Jeezy explained the circumstances behind the now infamous fall out.
“I put him on a song with Eminem. I put him on a song with T.I. I put him on numerous mixtapes that I had,” said Jeezy. “I took him on tour. Took him around the world. I spent money on videos that he didn’t use, cause he didn’t like them, and it wasn’t his money.”
The “Seen It All” rapper further elaborated that Gibbs pretty much became a bad investment.
He continued, “So at the end of the day, my whole thing was to him was ‘I took you to every label in the game. They don’t wanna sign you. I don’t have no reason—I love you. I think your music is dope, but they don’t want to sign you.’ So at the end of the day when I called him up I was like, ‘Yo, I can’t really spend my money on you. I got family, other sh*t I gotta take care of. So, I’ll help you all I can, but I can’t fund it anymore.’”
According to Jeezy, who pointed out the YG has been a success under his watch, after that conversation—that he thought was “love”—diss records and commentary eventually started coming from Gibbs.
