Friday actor Faizon Love, who played “Big Worm” in the original 1995 film alongside Ice Cube and Chris Tucker, called out Dave East for allegedly being a “fake Crip” years ago. Still, he can’t escape the topic whenever he does press.
During a recent interview with the Boss Talk 101 podcast, Love was asked why he continues to accuse the Harlem rapper of not being a legit member of the infamous street gang and how the Los Angeles chapter looks at Crips from other regions.
“Dave East, I don’t know,” he said. “He just a kid. I call myself saving his life. I’m like, bruh. How are you a Crip? With the B-Dawgs, it’s a whole different thing. This ain’t the Boy Scouts. You didn’t grow up on my street. You have to grow up on your street. Ice Cube told you, ‘Die for a street they ain’t never heard of.’ So, it’s like, that’s the only thing — I was just trying to get some clarity like, how is he a Crip?”
Faizon Love’s comments come as somewhat of a surprise considering Dave East just addressed the subject during an episode of Smoke Champs — and rather diplomatically.
“I ain’t gonna front,” he explained. “I asked the bro, like I don’t know if I hit one of his joints. I don’t what I did. I don’t think he even got no bitches for me to hit. But my whole thing is like I never met you. This is my whole thing — like respect, bro. I ain’t got no problems with Big Worm. I’m not even gonna say his real name. Like you Big Worm at the end of the day. That’s all n-ggas know you by. I never met you. I never spoke to you. Never seen you.”
He added, “I only seen you on Friday as a kid, and n-ggas fucked with you. I was a fan, like I liked your role in Friday. I was a fan of that. N-gga woke up one day and said, ‘Dave East ain’t no real Crip.’ Who told you that? You went and sat around and gave you that vibe?”
As the Smoke Champs hosts continued to press Dave East for more information, he reiterated he’d never met him in real life and had no idea why he was targeted.
“Never spoke to him in my life,” he added. “But that happened a few times with a few people. N-ggas wake up with me on they mind. But I’m like, ‘Damn, Big Worm? I fucked with you, bro.’ I watched ‘Friday’ all the time. C’mon, man. Shout out to him though. I’m a firm believer in good energy, positive vibes.

“I’ll see him when I see him and however that go, that go. It’s a small world. But I’m not going to badmouth that man on no podcast, no camera, no nothing. I don’t know why he had my name in his mouth. Shout out to him.”
Despite East’s diplomatic approach, Love appears to have no issues with fanning the flames. Watch the clip above.
What Faizon is saying is what every L.A. motherfucker says all day. All these weirdos from other states doing their cosplay blood and crip shit is hilarious. Just stop. This dude is in his 20 and from NY but he is a crip? Tekashi’s homies he ratted on we’re bloods? Hahahahaha.
It’s real easy to comment from the distance without being in the streets, if dudes are banging in any part they will tear you up for calling them fake bangers, doesn’t matter if it’s ny, cali, texas even Alaska. Gangbanging isn’t limited to 1 state and thinking it is just shows ignorance and stupidity. If a cali crip went to ny and called them fake then dude would probably be murdered right in ny, nobody would say “oh that guy has a cali accent don’t mess with him” lol. Calling gangs fake is a dangerous act, at least in the streets that is
Cool idiot. I am in the streets. Ain’t no one tearing shit apart. Gangbangers are in general pussies. I’ve been from a Los Angeles gang for longer than I would care to say. My whole family is from the same neighborhood. It wasn’t even really a choice. Dudes in the “streets” never say shit like “if you were ever in these streets.” I live in South Central Los Angeles. I will never call it South Los Angeles. I’ll tell Amy out of state crip or blood that crips and bloods are LA. Period. Just like Dave East here, he would have to run into me where Thai shit was made up to get my opinion. It wouldn’t work out well for him. Trust me. Real ones are circulating these waters and have been for decades now. I’m about to go light a blunt on the front porch right now. I can’t remember if Faizon is a blood or crip, but he has been one or the other for at least 20 years. Run up on his ass Dave East when you “see him.” I’m certain he won’t be alone. As an out-of-Townes I’m sure his security would advise against it. New York is a freezing cold shit hole. I’ve been they used to all call themselves Deceptecons and Gorilla this, Brim that. They just added crip and blood to their corny ass names to copy our shit. Takeshita is a great example of “streets” outside of LA. You think Cali motherfuckers are going to walk around fucking Texas or Arkansas dumb ass? You also don’t recognize that we invented this shit, they took the names and aren’t in any way affiliated at all to the shit they’re claiming? You can put in a vest and have whoever’s patch on it, be killers, go to prison and do the damn thing. You’re still a sons of Anarchy Fan if that patch isn’t from the club that started that shit. Weirdo.
LMFAO!!!! : ) I bet you felt real tough writing that dumb shit! You only impressed yourself dummy! You wish you was a gangbanger defending a fat old has been! Get a job or go back to work you clown no one believes you or is taking you serious!
That’s the thing. I don’t give 2 fucks what you believe or take serious idiot. I have a home I paid for and a full time job running my win legitimate business. I got courted into Florencia 13 at age 10 puto. Harvard Park Locos. Look that shit up, you obviously don’t know anything about this L.A. shit, or gang shit in general. What you believe or don’t doesn’t affect reality moron. Eat a huge dick bitch. I BELIEVE you’re some weirdo white kid from Nebraska or some shit. Leva.
And nobody believes you capper, you love in your moms basement and only dreamed of the gang life just stfu and go to bed little kid
Wow. You think someone is trying to impress someone. You obviously are. I could give two fucks what you think, or anyone thinks for that matter. LOL. Nerd. You’re some white kid from Nebraska. If what some geek thinks altered reality we’d all be in a lot of trouble.
Nobody’s reading all this shit, bro…
Love is damn near 60….still talking gangsta nonsense…..let that sink in.
Lol all these gang experts on here. You guys are frontin, and rappers are fake. Real gangsters don’t have enough talent to rap or enough literacy to write long internet tirades. Be yourself, kids. Peace.
Says some nerd named stromccock. Nice D&D name. Some people type over 100 words a minute on a smartphone. You can also just talk and the phone types for you dummy. All of this took less than 10 seconds, stupid.
Why would you get mad at fake gangsters being exposed unless you yourself are one? Just admit it kid, you put all your chips into your gangster persona and now you’re a loser in your 20s or 30s and the image isn’t believable anymore. You probably still introduce yourself with your tag name. You are NOT a gangster, nor are you tough. I’d box the ears off your head and you’d never get over it, just like every other fake gangster. Go iron your bandana.
NOTHING BUT BAD ENERGY FROM THIS ROASTED PORK SHOULDER LOOKING ASS MF
Why this dude keep talking about Dave East?
Big Worm is working along side Wack100, instead of DeathRow these guys call themselves DeathTroll hahaha
