Jerry Heller says Ice Cube was worried about Eazy-E and Alonzo Williams stealing from him.
Former N.W.A manager, Jerry Heller offered his thoughts on Ice Cube, and detailed the exact moment he met the late Eazy-E, while taking part in an interview with #WKND and Eazy’s daughter, Erin Wright.
According to Heller, the World Class Wreckin’ Cru’s Alonzo Williams set up the meeting between the two. He explained that Eazy-E offered Williams $750 if he could set up the meeting.
“I put it off and put it off,” Jerry Heller said in regards to his meeting with Eazy-E. “And finally Alonzo said to me ‘You know, you gotta meet this guy. And he offered me $750 to meet you. And I could use the money.’ I agreed to meet him at Macola, which was the pressing plant. And he pulled up with his friend MC Ren. And he got out of his Suzuki Samurai, which was all tricked out. And he reached out of his sock and he paid Alonzo the $750 off this roll of hundred dollar bills that he had. And I said to him ‘Do you have anything for me to hear?’
“And in the music business, which is basically a bullshit business, guys will tell you about all these things that they got…It’s all about what they got,” he added. “And here’s a guy that met me. That paid $750 to meet me. That when I asked him if he had some music for me to play, all he said was ‘yes’…He was willing to let his accomplishments speak for themselves.”
Heller, who says he made a deal with Eazy-E on the spot, revealed that he was never intimidated by the Compton rapper’s lifestyle given that he grew up around gangsters.
“I grew up in Cleveland on the same block that Bone thugs-n-harmony grew up in,” he said. “So, I grew up with gangsters. I knew guys that carried guns when they were 11-years-old. So, to me it wasn’t the fact of getting involved with a gangster because Eazy was very business-like. And very together. It was more being able to relate to the music that he was playing me. And the minute he played it, I knew it was important music. So, my job became how to market that music and get it to the rest of the world.”
Later in the interview, Heller offered his thoughts on Ice Cube, stating that the rapper was never content with anything.
“Ice Cube was a guy that was always not content with anything that happened,” Heller said. “He used to complain to me that Alonzo was stealing from him. And then he complained to Brian Turner that Jerry Heller and Eazy-E were stealing from him.”

I’ll buy Jerry’s story over cubes any day.
Of course u would only a snake trust a snake how can everyone who left NWA be saying the same thing but this bitch jerry Heller
Cube story has changed over he years, first he was getting paid o n tour and then he wasn’t, how did jerry steal money from cube he never accepted the check they tried to give him. Cube was always jealous of eazy , E andand Heller put the money up for everything so of course they were making way more than cube that’s business. Cube left went oto priority and still wasn’t happy he still wasn’t getting paid what e wanted he didn’t understand the music business, contracts using leverage. Dre left and went to death row were he really was getting robbed. At ruthless he got paid maybe not what he was worth or wanted, suge actually took his money, company and girlfriend. I just think they use jerry as a excuse way too much they’re not taking responsibility for some of their own actions groups rarely ever last because most people want their own pie they don’t want to split it. Also it had to been tough for dre and cube to ave group member also be your boss
Nigga pls! Dr Dre made more money on Deathrow than he did on Ruthless! Dre had a Ferrari on DR man….he was getting robbed for real on Ruthless…stop being sentimental! It’s okay to be an Eazy E fan but don’t discredit the other members…Ruthless wasn’t s’posed to e owned by Eazy E & Jerry, Jerry is lying…other Ruthless artists eg Bonethugs, ATL, D.O.C, Michel’le, BG knocc out, Dresta, have all accused Jerry of stealing and not just ice cube. Suge didn’t steal Dre’s girl and money…Dre dumped Suge & DR and about his girlfriend? Dre dumped michel’le for his current wife…these are facts bro…Lastly, Cube been saying the same thing since 1989…nothing has changed! Jerry is crook and a liar…and Eazy fired him @ the end of the day proving Cube, Dre and others right.Peace!
Dre was getting rob on DR too shit everybody was not saying he wasn’t getting paid but in the end he did get rob! Suge was a crook too. That’s one of the reasons Dre left another reason is because he didn’t like all the dunb shit that Suge was doing although Daz did say in an interview with Vladtv that Michel’le was the real reason behind Dre leaving DR. I did hear that Eazy and Dre were suppose to own Ruthless together but then Jerry got in Eazy’s ear telling him lies about the other members.
Dre didn’t put any money up for ruthless that’s why he didn’t own it, only eazy n jerry put up the money up. Yes the original plan was for both to own it, but dre couldn’t put any money into it.
You obviously don’t know the real story, you can have a nice car and big mansion and e broke, suge was taken dre money, checks that were supposed to go to dre was going to suge. Death row was supposed to be dre label for real but suge basically took it from him. Suge not only took his money and label he took his girlfriend too. On ruthless dre got 25 thousands here, 50grand there, he got those checks on ruthless at death row he only got what suge gave him which was next o nothing compared to what he made at ruthless. The D.o.c wanted to go back to ruthless after being on death row for a year he wasn’t making any money on death row, he was sleeping on dres couch. Go listen to Michele interview again she said jerry took care of them. Did jerry steal from cube how? He never sign a contract obviously he felt like it wasn’t enough, but you don’t sign a contract you don’t get what’s legally obligated to you, steal from dre how??? Dre sign got whatever the contract promise, and was most likely just pissed afterwards about the contract being standard. So even when dre went to death row, he still had a contract with ruthless, eazy e made more money off the chronic than dre did. When dre went to death row not only was eazy n jerry still making money off him, now suge and Jimmy were making money off him. The real reason mc en never left was because he knew eazy e was loyal, mc ren caught a rape case with a under age girl eazy put a million dollar defense team behind the basically saved his life. Do I think jerry stole from eazy e yea I do, do i think he stole from dre and cube hell no I just think they wanted to make what eazy was making, what Jimmy ivoine is to dre, was what jerry was to eazy.
@ Ace, WTF are u talking bout? How old are u dawg?! Lol! I grew on westcoast rap, i witnessed the NWA v cube, eazy e v dre, suge,pac v dre..i read source magz those days. Am really laughing here…lemme hit you with some facts! Check rolling stone’s ‘endless fall of suge knight’, michel’le spoke on suge being upset that Dre left & saying that Dre made more money with suge & DR than with E and Jerry…No. 2, check out Hiphopdx interview on DOC in 2011, he spoke on Ruthless ripping him and Dre off..No 3, check Alonzo’s interview on Vladtv, he spoke on Dre getting 20k on albums hahaha.. U js pick & chose ur facts! 4. Forget lil E tryna claim that his pops Eazy E got more money on chronic.. Eazy E got paid 20cents per album, do the maths, Dre was paid as a label exec, artist and producer bro… Use ur brain 5. Go listen to Arabian prince’s Vlad TV interview, he broke down cube v Ruthless beef, Mr ace cube, Dre, Ren, Arabian PRINCE, yella didn’t sign a contract but were all paid on Eazy duz LP, Cube was paid for writing 50 percent of eazy duz it without a damn contract, the contract thing came up in 89, cube have explained this in interviews… Arabian PRINCE also said weren’t paid their full ROYALTIES, tour money etc on SOC album. Now kid, uu don’t know Jack about NWA, do more research and quit being sentimental and down playing the achievement of other NWA members! 6. Dumped michel’le, she has said it in interviews, u keep picking in choosing! Didn’t you watch the full michel’le Vlad interview? Michel’le breakfast interview? She spoke on dre leaving her for hishis white wife! 7. Suge did take dre’s 50% stake in deathrow which have rise to the famous Dre quote, ‘ u cant put a price on peace of mind’ 8. Dre can’t really stop his ex, michel’le dating whoever she wants including suge, he got married! R u 10 yeas?!!! 9. U keep ducking my points…so once again, could DOC, ATL, BONETHUGS, DRE,CUBE,ARABIAN PRINCE,MC REN,BG KNOCC OUT, DRESTA, KOKANE, SUGE all have been wrong bout Jerry Heller and Eazy? 10.. Go watch Alonzo’s Vladtv interview and see where he broke down how he helped EaZy with biz points , hooking him up with yella and not fairy tale heller is spewing 11. Do more research wikipedia ass nigga , I grew up in tge 80z and 90z, whoever tells u that Eazy was doing better (career wise) than Dr Dre after he left wasn’t grown bw 1992-1994 coz Dre, Snoop the game locked! Even Dre day sold , charted higher than real Compton gz, do your Google’s kid before u jump in the ring Youngsta SMH
Not entirely true, the plan was dre took care of the music, talent while Eazy financed….before Jerry’s coup
Yeah suge hid profits on DR but the fact is Dre made more money on DR..michel’le wasn’t the reason Dre left DR, dazz is lying bro
Suge took dre’s stake in DR when Dre bounced… And (part of ) his chronic masters too! Michel’le banged suge to get back @ drdre, to spite him for dumping her, she admitted this on her 2015 Breakfast club interview for chrissakes!! Where’s the alleged dre’s cut, about 50 mil today?! Suge blew it and became broke , filed for bankruptcy in 2006 lol….where’s michel’le, dropped an album that flopped on DR in 98, broke, did reality TV to pay her bills, she admitted this and posting pics of dr dre on her IG! Crying & shii..a lady that sold almost 3mil copies in 89 while with Dre..I can go all day kid…..FOH
Nigga stop running circles , been hitting you with facts! How many times have I gotten you now?!!! Check out Arabian prince’s interview on Vladtv , he spoke on the royalties man, Dre, cube were sharing profits from their records, shows on a homeboy level b4 1989!!! I’m not getting emotional, am getting irritated! Ur mixing shii up, now ur talking bout Eazy being paid as an executive?!! On whose label? DR lol!! FOH man…he was given 25 cents!!! U cliam u grew up in the 80z and 90z but aren’t aware hat DR was churning out plainum records after another unlike Ruthless that had some flops starting with JJfad’s 91 release?!! DR was going platinum on even soundtracks LP bro!!! Dre was a co founder, co owner of DR, an EXECUTIVE!!! The profits were shared 50/50! This was explained in the last ICONIC DR interview on either source or vibe mag where DRe, pac , snoop, suge shared the front page! Dre didn’t leave DR broke, he forfeited his stake as an executive, label owner, which was worth an approximated 50 million dollars…Man, stick to one shii, you js ethered urself by bringing up that kokane interview, u jumped the part he said they including ATL had planned to leave with Dre to DR nd eazy got wind of it and re negotiated with them proving cube,esp dre right AGAIN THAT THEY WERE GETTING ROBBED thru shady contracts . If Easy had given kokane what was due to him, maybe he woulda had money to take care of his daughters…now we have gone from Jerry Jerry heller to dre’s sexuality?? LooLool! U find it diff staying on point…HaHahaha…! Check Alonzo’s vladtv interview, he touched on that as well….How does a Nigga sex life bother me? Are u gay bro? and pac? Nigga Pac was pissed dre left! Snoop, dog pound as well…Dre was in an R AND B group , WCRC, they wore make up & Shii, that was popular in the 80z, Dj yella explained this in his vladtv interview, thats y I believe ur a kid, that make up Shit was popping in the 80z esp after thriller dropped!just like u niggas wear skinny jeans now……20 years from now….my son will be calling y’all gay! Dj yella wore make up too, y did eazy skip yella’s involvement? Coz he didn’t leave? Go figure….wasn’t Pac a ballerina? Didn’t Pac dance for Digital underground? There are pics of Pac in Speedos dancing on stage….google it! Pac didn’t start as a gangsta a rapper….neither did Dre…Nigga u must be kid that came up during Pac’s reign at DR or after Pac died where he had y’all sold that he was the hardest gangster around Lol!…its pretty obvious..do more Google’s….wikipedia ass Nigga (again) …..Joking kid, quit GETTING butt hurt Lool!
I know what I’m talking about, do you think a label is going to give you all your royalties if you don’t sign a contract??? I’m not downplaying there success they have been extremely successful, but did they downplay eazy success in straight out of Compton after dre n cube left??? Yea dre was doing better musically than eazy during that 92-93 time period, but not financially eazy was still making more money than dre way more. Eazy e was paid as a executive on the chronic too, dre never got executive money that went to suge. You getting emotional?? You ok? You know you would sound stupid trying to call me a youngster not knowing my age.. You can think what you want dre wasn’t making the type of money you think he was at death row. Dre left death row broke, and was hiding out from suge at Clive Davis and Jimmy ivoiruthless because eazy said he was stealing 2 bisexual men, this is why tupac called him gay dre. Doesn’t matter where your records are charting it matters how much are you making per unit. Mom and has never said anythinganything negative about eazy e, kokane wanted to leave and eazy sat down re did his contract gave him more money, eazy also gave kokane like 40 grand in cash out of his own pocket one time because he’s daughter was in hospital sick. Yea bone thugs said eazy e was firing jerry from ruthlessruthless. Don’t believe in these entertainers cube is a big fraud. Try it to et emotional while making your points. I grew up on 80s and 90s hip-hop.
If you don’t know that eazy made more money off he chronic than dre I’d then obviously you don’t know much. I don’t know why i expect you o understand the concept of business and contracts you can’t even spell. By the way death row was done in 98-99 ruthless at least still had bone thugs pushing pretty hard ssosso ruthless actually outlasted death row . I never said PAC was a ganster you just pulling stuff out your ass, I just simply stated what he said. You can’t get robbed through a contract it’s your decision to signsign if they weren’t educated enough to understand they should have took it to lawyer. You ever think kokane just could have ran through his money just like any other young black entertainer and when situation came p with daughter he was broke. Eazy e had the leverage in the negotiation, so he didn’t take peaunuts he could have forced dre to stay on ruthless it was all in the contract. But all in all everybody played a role in he success of nwa even jerry Heller.
Ur a kid Ace…taking bout spellings and typos….posting with my phone bro! i have been killing you with facts..all these talk about E making more money off chronic is new to me lol! eazy e’s son etc been pushing that hard..what I heard back in the day was 25c per album. N.e way, The only ppl that really know are Dre,E, suge and Jimmy period, so its speculation till its confirmed from the afore mentioned. You DONT KNOW SHII Ace, how can DR be done in 98/99 when they dropped 2pac’s until the end of time in 2001 and it went multi platinum, better days too was plat in 2002! No Ruthless artist went platinum in 2002 , Google that kid!Oh, now you know that NWA’s sccess was collective effort?! LOL…u can’t rob some1 thru contracts?!! Thats been the legit way to rob artists dating from the beginning of music industry .. Don’t blame you tho, u grew up in the Internet age when record companies were becoming obsolete, the likes of slim Jesus etc blowing up off of the strength of social media…sure you did not know that once upon a time getting a record deal was so difficult that artists were ready to give up their left arm, not to talk of good contracts…nigga pls!
Hell cube was right that mofo was stealling from the whole damn crew except eazy
You know Jerry Heller fucked more black bitchs bitchs then Wilt Chamberlin
You know Jerry Heller fucked more black bitchs then Wilt Chamberlin
She look too much like eazy. He sound like he hate cube.
Don’t believe in everything ice cube says, he’s the same guy that convince people through out he 90s that he was one of the hardest gangbanging rappers, he’s a actor/entertainer.
Jerry Heller is a sneaky white version of Don King, using you, lying to you and taking advantage of you, Ice Cube was telling the truth, so was Dre and Eazy found out for himself that Jerry was embezzling money from the group, he fired that old bag of cowballs
Stealing from eazy prob so, stealing what from drdre he signed a contract most likely a average standard contract, cube didn’t want to take the money because he knew signing that contract would make him contracally obligated to the group making it near impossible to go solo. I think jerry did way more to help dre and cube then hurt they’re always downing the guy people keep forgetting that he played major part in getting them through the door
Some of y’ll will always believe ‘His(s)tory’, Heller was/is a crook and it is that same divide and conquer bullshit he is trying to spread but too late, Eazy is dead (R.I.P), Dre and Cube are doing better than ever. So fuck that greedy bastard and anyone who agrees with his made up shit.
That’s because jerry has been telling the same story for years listen to 10 different jerry interviews you get one story, listen to 10 ice cube interview you get about 7 different stories. Look how they portrayed eazy in he movie once dre and cube left eazy went broke really?? Eazy made more money off the chronic than dre did. They purposely didn’t show certain things in that movie, and try to use the excuse of it can only be 2 hours bs, ice cube poolside interview pointless scene, hotel orgy pointless scene, ice cube getting harrased by the police pointless scene, they didn’t want to show eazy getting paid for death row, eazys success after dre n cube left, Dre beating up women but shows him punching some random guy. Dre n cube only tell the stories that benefit they’re side or reputation. Dre andand cube are liars and manipulators also.
I so agree with you. I’ve heard so many different stories of why cube left the group. First it was the contract what wAs wrong with the contract he can’t say then ruthless couldn’t pay him what he was worth then jerry liked easy more. It’s like which was it. Cube is just not my kinda person. He thinks more of himself than what he really is. And I think what he said about jerry in no Vaseline was disgusting. He should apologize. I believe jerry and easy with this. Dre and cube had personal issues called jealousy, that’s why they left the group
Why do y’all keep giving this asshole attention?
Man y’all need to gone somewhere with that cube told seven different stories crap, of course someone won’t just be mad or leave a group over just one issue, it was a lot of shit leading up to him leaving, come on y’all think.
Don’t you think that if it were true ice cube would have gotten his money back through court like tonight Brixton did when her record company was screwing her over? I think he wanted out of the group coz he wanted to be a solo star and own his record company and there’s nothing wrong with that just be honest and don’t spread lies about other people. Plus you only believe him coz it’s a black man accusing a white man of stealing from him. Even ice cubes group accused cube of not paying them. I guess accusing others of stealing money was the in thing back in the day
Toni braxton I mean
