Just when you thought they buried the hatch, Jeezy takes a swipe at DJ Drama in the September 2009 issue of XXL.
Given all the history you made with Gangsta Grillz mixtapes, alot of people were caught off guard when you said “Fuck DJ Drama” onstage last year.
Drama just started acting like a bitch. Drama wanted to be Khaled,
but he didn’t want to help nobody. He just changed, period. Look at his
crew. The same niggas ain’t around him. You ain’t never been in no
streets. I could never have no beef with a nigga like that. He’s a
cornball. You made millions off my mixtapes, to the point where the
fuckin’ feds scooped you up for bootlegging. I never even made the
money he made off of Trap or Die or Tha Streetz Iz Watchin, because
they were selling and distributing them and making money. I’m not
hating. But we will never do a mixtape together. I didn’t charge that
nigga for [contributing a verse to the song “5000 Ones,” on Drama’s
official Atlantic Records debut]. But then when I need [a tape for one
of my artists], and you want to charge me $20,000?… I’ll slap the
shit out of Drama. He knows that. He wasn’t loyal. But me putting my
hands on that man ain’t gonna make him respect what I’m saying. I’m
just not gonna fuck with him anymore. I kept a lot of real niggas off
his ass. There’s a lot of niggas mad at that nigga ‘cause he didn’t do
what he was supposed to do. He shouldn’t take people’s money if he not
gonna do what he say.

It's pretty intense reading that Guru released a statement on his health while recovering. Hearing directly from a hip-hop icon after such a scary medical scare gives everyone a massive sigh of relief. You can tell he really values setting the record straight himself. It reminds me of how people want to look and feel their absolute best after going through tough times, whether that's overall wellness or even specific cosmetic refreshes like getting a Blepharoplasty Limassol routine done for a fresh look. Overall, seeing him send love to the fans shows his resilience, and we're all just hoping for a full, speedy recovery for the legend.
