YG and DJ Mustard had fans quite upset at the end of 2014, when a little issue between the longtime friends became public, and they ended up beefing it out on Instagram. Luckily a few days later (after a couple jabs and threats), all was well. Sitting down with MTV this week, Mustard spoke on the rift, and revealed that though his comment that he still hadn’t been paid for his work on YG’s debut MY Krazy Life seemed like a shot at him, it was a shot at Def Jam (as I previously noted, since artists don’t pay people, the label does. Thanks!) The miscommunication was what led to the back-and-forth, but Mustard says it actually helped strengthen their friendship in the end!
We got like, a big, big, big, big entourage, you know what I’m saying? You just got to see who would pick whose side, and you would see who wouldn’t pick each other’s side. You got calls from people – I got calls from people, he got calls from people that would say, “I’m riding with you,” or “I’m riding with YOU,” and at the end of the day it’s like, why are you riding with either one of us? We’re both brothers, we’re supposed to fight and get it over with. If that’s the case, you’re not supposed to ever do that.
Real talk! Check…
