Although it seems to have lost a bit of steam, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s Verzuz battles are still drawing attention to Hip Hop fans. Around 80,000 people joined the Verzuz Instagram Live on Thursday night (May 26) to watch UGK take on 8Ball & MJG. Those included were Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Dupri, Fat Joe, Slim Thug, DJ Scratch, Saigon and many more.
While Bun, 8Ball and MJG talked plenty in between songs, 8Ball took a moment at one point to call out Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast host Gillie Da Kid for supposedly getting a story wrong involving the late DJ Screw and Rap-A-Lot Records founder J. Prince (aka Lil J). Gillie had once told a story of being down in Houston when a squabble had taken place.
Gillie’s Side Of The Story
“I remember late nights — this is when we first moved to Houston — I used to be with Lil Keke; that’s how you know it’s a true story,” he begins. “These boys had me at Carrington’s on the parking lot and Screw used to sell the tapes out the back of the car. When I walked up, that boy said, ‘Man, I got everything.’ He gave me about 20 volumes, like all at one time.” Gillie said. He than spoke about how when people said J Prince showed up, everyone ran from the parking lot, including 8Ball and MJG.
“And another thing, while the world is listening, Gillie Da Kid told a story about us running from Lil J one night out the parking lot. Gillie Da Kid, you remembered that wrong. You have never been in a car with me. My first gun charge was in Houston, you can look that shit up. And Lil J, we have nothing but respect for that man, and he ain’t got nothing but respect for us. We have never had to run from Lil J. You hear me, man? So get your story right and go back online and say who was really with that night.”
