When 50 Cent dropped “Piggy Bank” he created a rift between him and the likes of Fat Joe, Jadakiss and Nas. After the diss, many wondered how the attacked artists would respond to the song. Fat Joe and Jadakiss have already released their responses. Is Nas next up to bat?
Well according to a number of British publications and MTV, Nas has been teasing the idea of retaliation for a minute but has stated that 50 “needs about five to six more albums” in order to become dissworthy. He started off by telling New Nation…
“He’s out there posing for cameras like the Incredible Hulk and shit … It’s sad for a lot of real guys.”
He was asked during the U.K. tour if he could shed some light to the situation. According to MTV he stated…

“Of course, there are a lot of people waiting for me to make this next record and go after 50. If it’s meant to be, it’ll happen. I don’t think it’s really that deep. We all love hip-hop. It drives people crazy, ‘Come on, come on! Respond with something! Respond!’ You gotta chill and let us do our thing. People are gonna talk, the media is going be like ‘Nas do this, do that.’ At the end of the day, I’m the one that goes into the studio and lays it down. You gotta wait.”
He continued…
“To sum it all up, 50 is still a new artist. I would say he’s got a good five to six more albums before I can really respond to him. With my other battles, it was different. This is not really my thing right here. I would say he would need about five to six more albums.”
So does this mean we have to wait a few more years for a Nas response? We’ll just have to wait and see.
