So, why did things eventually turn sour between Eminem and Young Jeezy following a slew of hit collaborations, including "Talk To Me?"
According to the "Soul Survivor" rapper, fellow emcee Freddie Gibbs is all to blame.
In a recent interview with NYC's popular radio station Hot 97, Jeezy explains:
"When the whole ordeal was going on, I was more disappointed than anything... 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."
Check out the full interview here:
Gibbs left the renowned record label CTE World back in December 2012 - he's been blasting Jeezy ever since. The former Boyz n da Hood superstar addressed this ongoing "beef" with The Truth's Elliott Wilson back in July (via hiphopdx.com):
"To be honest [the partnership with Gibbs] could have [worked]. 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."
Well, Gibbs finally spoke-out on Twitter, and if Jeezy "wants to battle," he's ready...
@buttadaprince: "bro I'm on my way to l.a tryna link up w u Hml."
@FreddieGibbs: "I'll be there Wednesday I gotta go on the radio in New York tomorrow and throw some people under the bus."
@FreddieGibbs: "@EBROINTHEAM I'll be there tomorrow to put all the lies to rest... cuz u just listened to list of em. See u in the AM."
Gibbs later posted this new music video featuring Madlib:
How about it, Mstars readers - Team Jeezy or Team Gibb? Eminem's too busy working with Rihanna to really comment...
