Memphis Bleek is taking some heat from Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda over statements he recently made.
Bleek questioned whether anyone has ever seen Tony Yayo wearing his G-Unit chain or his passport chain without being around 50 Cent. He went on to suggest that both Yayo and Uncle Murda are dependent on 50.
Over the past year or so, the two sides have taken jabs at each other in different interviews, but Uncle Murda's latest response shows this may no longer be friendly competition. As 50 Cent recently said, his shots at Jay-Z aren't beef, they're competitive motivation. He even said Jay keeps him motivated. But this situation doesn't seem to be that at all.
Murda can be seen on video saying he has never liked a Memphis Bleek verse in his life and that the only verse he ever liked was one Jay-Z supposedly wrote. Tony Yayo can be seen looking at Murda as if he's taking it a little too far before Murda aggressively says, "We ain't never been fans of Memphis Bleek."
Now I have to ask, were Memphis Bleek's statements out of bounds, or were they warranted? In my opinion, this wasn't an unprovoked attack. Not even a year ago, Tony Yayo publicly said that 50 Cent does more for his people than Jay-Z does for his team. That statement says a lot about where this back and forth comes from because Yayo put that comparison into the conversation himself.
Bleek didn't just make this up. Yayo has repeatedly talked about what 50 Cent has done for them, the opportunities he's created, and how he takes care of his team. After hearing those comparisons over and over, it's understandable why someone would conclude that they're dependent on 50.
When Yayo challenged Bleek's comments, Bleek responded by saying Jay-Z doesn't provide for him. He said he provides for himself, owns businesses, and doesn't need another man to take care of him. During an interview on The Breakfast Club, Bleek said Yayo looks at life with a "look out for me" mentality. He added that Jay-Z raises bosses, not dependents, explaining that they all have businesses and investments of their own.
I think Yayo may have tried to use 50 Cent's competitive nature to make a point, but it may have backfired. After all, it's hard to call it competition if the conversation is centered around what someone else does for you instead of what you've built yourself.
Either way, this situation seems to be getting more personal. Every interview brings stronger words and more disrespect, and we all know how these rap feuds can escalate.
What do you think? Was Bleek speaking facts, or did he cross the line? And who has made the stronger case, Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, or Memphis Bleek?
