Bone thugs-n-harmony says that Jerry Heller is the reason N.W.A broke up. Heller managed the Compton, California Rap group from 1987 to 1995.

“Definitely everybody knows Ice Cube wasn’t happy,” Wi$h Bone says to VladTV, “and then Dre tried to stick it in there and he wasn’t happy and all of that came about when Jerry Heller had his hands in the business.”

Krayzie Bone says that because Bone thugs-n-harmony was signed to Heller and Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records, they were able to see Heller’s interactions with N.W.A

“Being around, that’s what we heard and we got a chance to witness some of it,” he says.

Bone thugs-n-harmony also say it doesn’t believe Eazy-E died from AIDS complications.

“Even to this day, none of his kids, none of his baby-mamas, his mistresses, anybody, nobody has come up with HIV or nothing like that,” Wi$h Bone says, “so I mean just rationally thinking, something had to go on.”

“It’s just ironic because I know people can live with HIV for years and look normal and look healthy,” Krayzie Bone adds, “but when you’re about to die from AIDS, full-blown AIDS, you’re gonna look like you’re gonna die from AIDS. I’ve seen people that die from AIDS and they look like they have AIDS. Eazy didn’t look like that at all when he passed away. At all.”

Straight Outta Compton, which depicts the members of N.W.A and Jerry Heller and ends with Eazy-E’s death in 1995, was release to theaters Friday (August 14).
