Freddie Gibbs: "Ich hab keinen Respekt mehr für Young Jeezy" // UPDATE: bezeichnet Young Jeezy als Betrüger

Nachdem sich Freddie Gibbs nach der Trennung von Young Jeezys Label Corporate Thugz Entertainment zunächst versöhnlich gab, sprach der aus Indiana stammende MC nun Klartext über sein Zerwürfnis mit Jeezy. Im Interview mit XXL Magazin gab Gibbs Folgendes zu Protokoll:

„Me separating from CTE. I’m extremely happy about that. Because a lot of guys wrote me off, Jeezy included. He really wrote me off. I am about to show that nigga what it really is. I am about to open that nigga’s eyes up and show that nigga that I mean motherfucking business. He wrote a nigga off, but I am definitely about to show that nigga that I mean business. And show that nigga who the realest nigga in it. That’s what I am on now.“

Auf die Frage, ob es nun noch der Trennung von CTE besser laufe, antwortete Gibbs:

Life after CTE…life been good. Before CTE and after CTE. I never took a dollar from cus anyway. It ain’t never been about life being good. My life been the same. I’ve been the same nigga. I’ve been doing my thing. Still been feeding my niggas. Still been feeding my family. Like I said, I never took a dollar ever from Jeezy in my life. Everything been on my grind and my hustle. I put BFK (Baby Face Killa) out myself with no support from Jeezy. I shot and did videos myself with no support from Jeezy. Like that it matters. Like I said, I got my own core, my fanbase. At the end of the day, I been my own man.

This album is going to be definitive of that fact. It’s going to show people, ‘Look, I didn’t need cus, cus needed me.‘ I was bringing something to the table at CTE. I don’t need CTE. I went to CTE because I fucked with CTE. Because I had love for what cus had. It was a genuine love, that’s why I went over there for nothing. ‘Man look, let’s partner up. Let’s do this.‘ I fucked with you. I respect you. Now, that respect is gone.

Angesprochen auf etwaige Unterstützung vonseiten Jeezys während seiner Zeit beim Label, ließ der Baby Face Killa verlauten:

„Fuck no. Anything he tells you, it’s going to be fake. I am going to give you the real. He gonna give you the sugarcoated version. That’s the difference between me and him. He gonna give you the sugarcoated shit, I am going to give you the real. At first, when that whole split happened, I was being political about it. I was thinking, ‘Man, I don’t want to fuck up my relationship.‘ But fuck that shit, my nigga. I’m feeding the whole city. That nigga don’t do shit for me. I am going to point a nigga out when he bogus and he was bogus for not owing up to his business relationship and doing what he was supposed to do business-wise. Like I said, I never needed the nigga to do nothing for me, but do what you said what you were gonna do. You don’t hold true to your word, I don’t respect you. So I don’t respect no nigga that don’t hold true to his word. All that shit you rapping; I don’t respect none of that shit.“

Freddie Gibbs kommendes Album „ESGN“ erscheint am 09. Juli. Ein weiteres Projekt mit dem Titel „Str8 Killa Pt. 2“ sowie das Kollabo-Album „Cocaine Pinata“ mit Madlib sollen im Verlaufe des Jahres folgen. Das gesamte Interview könnt ihr hier nachlesen.

UPDATE: Vor Kurzem verlieh Freddie Gibbs, in einem Interview, seinen vorigen Aussagen noch einmal Nachdruck. Darin sprach Gibbs darüber, warum er zu CTE ging und dann wieder verlassen hat, bezeichnet Young Jeezy als Betrüger und berichtet, dass er Todesdrohungen von Young Jeezys Fans auf Twitter bekommen hat. Trotzdem respektiere er immer noch was Young Jeezy musikalisch geleistet hat.
