Jeezy Blames Freddie Gibbs For Ruining Eminem Relationship

Jeezy says Freddie Gibbs burned a bridge between him and Eminem.

Jeezy recently explained how he felt Freddie Gibbsruined relationships, including his work withEminem.

"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.”

In the new Hot 97 interview, Jeezy also compares himself to Tupac.

"Nobody in this game got my credentials," he says. "Just me and 'Pac. As far as Hov, Hov is a businessman. Me and 'Pac is more so on revolutionary leadership. Hov, that's my G. I respect anything he do. But he's a boss. He makes boss moves. Me and 'Pac, we always on the ground level, trying to motivate and inspire."

Drake Says Kendrick Lamar Is Legendary, A King

Amid rumors of a feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, Drake took a moment to celebrate the Compton, California emcee at his recent OVO Fest. 

"While I got you here on stage," he said to the crowd, "While you all got your phones out. I want to shout out my nigga, Kendrick Lamar. Shout out to Kendrick. Kendrick was on my album. We went on tour together. That’s one of the hardest niggas alive right there. He’s legendary. He should be standing right there. There's a lot of kings in this shit." 

Drake said this with J. Cole standing beside him. Last month, Drake had a similar moment next to J. Cole, only that time, Drake omitted other rappers.

"There's only two kings in this shit right now," Drake said at the time. "They're standing on this stage." 

That fueled rumors of a feud between Drake and Lamar. 

In August of last year, Drake spoke on Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse, in which K. Dot said he was trying to murder every rapper in the genre. 

"I didn't really have anything to say about it," Drake said. "It just sounded like an ambitious thought to me. That's all it was. I know good and well that Kendrick's not murdering me, at all, in any platform. So when that day presents itself, I guess we can revisit the topic."
