Actor Faizon Love, who famously played “Big Worm” in the cult classic film Friday alongside Ice Cube and Chris Tucker, found himself embroiled in some controversy after a recent appearance on the Hip Hop Uncensored podcast.
During the conversation, Mr. Love called cap on JAY-Z’s alleged drug dealing past, saying, “I like Jay-Z. I like him as a guy and the whole thing he created about this fake dope dealing. That’s when I stopped liking him. This nigga ain’t sold no cocaine in his life — I don’t think he’s ever won a fight. There’s no stories of the other side. Somebody going to bust you. Nobody ever sold you pancake? … All this shit sounds like an episode of Miami Vice.”
Now, Cam’ron is coming to Hov’s defense and basically telling Love to keep the Roc-A-Fella legend’s name out of his mouth. Over the weekend, Killa Cam shared an Instagram post telling Love exactly how he feels.
“I know me and Hov haven’t had the best relationship (publicly) but Faizon don’t know what the fuck he’s talking bout. whether legally or illegally niggas got to it,” he wrote in the caption. “Faizon #UwasntThere #iwasthere for some it #HusltersRespectHustlers #UwasSellingNicksOutTheIceCreamTruck.”
Of course, Hov has built an entire career on gritty, inner city tales. Throughout his expansive catalog, the Hip Hop billionaire has often detailed his once seedy past. From the losses he suffered while selling drugs and being shot at three times at close-range to losing 92 kilos of cocaine, his rhymes were indicative of someone who really lived that life.
Before Rap: Cam'ron Shares Throwback IG With JAY-Z Following B-Sides 2 Concert
Yes, Jay is now a wealthy business mogul married to Beyoncé, one of the biggest pop stars in the world, so he isn’t writing about street life anymore — it simply doesn’t apply to his life. Instead, he’s evolved into opening up about his personal relationship pitfalls and life as a family man as demonstrated on Hov’s 2017 solo album 4:44.
Cam and Jay have a long history and after he was named Vice-President of Roc-A-Fella without Jay’s knowledge. In 2002, they teamed up for the song “Welcome To New York City” from Cam’s third studio album Come Home With Me. Over the years, they’ve had their issues with one another but managed to come together for Jay’s “B-Sides 2” concert at New York City’s Webster Hall in April 2019.
we all know jay-z is a damn liar. been known that. even if he is telling the truth who cares, he sold drugs to black people keeping his whole community down. GJ “Jig”
No way in hell he lost 92 keys. Cartel would of pieced him out. You don’t lose that much weight and live to rap about it. He’s telling fables. Maybe 8’s but no keys.
That was my first reaction — no way !! 92 of em lost? 92 grams , ok
Losing 92 isn’t life threatening when you have the money to pay it off, and if he was pushing 92 keys, then he certainly had the money to pay it off. Losing that much
Bro you watch and believe to much fiction! “pablo” ?
92 keys of work is must sound like some Disney’s Avengers shit to you huh??
Like he was just out on his own huh?
See what happens when you gaze out the bedroom window or watching from afar… your imagination starts running wild!
LMFAO “The Cartel”
He said he lost 92 keys, he did not say he was broke, if he had money its easy to buy more dope and step on it to make up the difference on the other side, even if he was dealing with cartel he did not have to tell them he lost it he just had to get back on his hustle to get that money you guy don’t know nothing about the streets, you can always grind upon money if you in the game. I took a half a gram and in 2hrs I was upon zip and so forth and so on.
You went from a half a gram to a zip = ounce I highly doubt it my be in a months time. Do any of you guys know how much a key cost? Jay Z is one of the best rappers alive but those key numbers sound false did he really sell drugs very likely but we will never know. Someone in a earlier post referred to money as keys sorry dude but they are not the same. If yall really want to know something get off the net and take it to the streets.
All though he exaggerates his past, his achievements in the music industry have been nothing short of amazing and can only be achieved by one who possesses a true hustler mindset. He may have sold out his culture and fellow rappers here and there but absolutely scaled the music industry, no doubt
Of course he embellished things like all writers do. But if Dehaven, Klein, Biggs, Emory and all these other niggas are supposed to be “real” then why would they all let a fake dude hang around them for so long?
Exactly… I bet these dudes probably think Biggz F.E.D case was all a Hoax.
Dehaven and Calvin were are just part of Sean Carters publicity stunt as well
Y’all some straight internet weirdos
I know for a FACT Jay was out there in Trenton,NJ in the late 80’s.
Yeah it’s nothing to be glorifying,but “History” Is “History” and Fam was out there.
Why Dudes always wanna discredit and “Jaw Jog” on shit they DONT KNOW, THINK, OR HEARD is dumb weird! Especially grown ass men.
I fucked with Big worm until he did this Nutshit. Ole boy grew up in San Diego most of his life how the hell he speaking on turf foreign too.
Nobody who’s really buying 90 kilo’s of coke is “out there”. They are the ones organizing in the background and never show their face even NEAR a dope corner. Nobody doin multiple million dollar dope deals is going to be in the vicinity of the nickle and dime game on the streetcorners. Jay Z is and always has been full of Sh!t. Most overrated rapper in history too.
Losing 92 keys at 30-40k a key back in the mid 90’s and you think he’d still be alive? You must not know nothing bout these streets. If he was moving that much weight he wouldn’t have still been stealing BIG’s rhymes and living in the Marcy Projects. If you don’t think the cartel would hit you for that big of a loss, you buggin. Know your role and speak what you know ranker.
Yeah because he lost them all by himself being a one man team kingpin in VA and Emory went to federal prison for parking tickets
1st of all dumbfuck p, 92 killos is 92 thousasnd and hov wasnt living in marcy at the time he had a spot at 560 state street, a big ass apartment….
Xolani, you’re remedial thinking that a key means a thousand dollars. 1 key(kilo) is equal to 1,000 grams. You obviously didn’t pay attention in school and weren’t in the streets. I forgot they don’t teach the kids on the short bus metric mathematics. You probably don’t even know basic math like addition and subtraction. Damn you dense.
Just hush about what its. Trying to discuss what happened over 30 years ago is as dumb as trying to say what exactly happened to the mafia. At this point, who cares?
Lmao at the Jigga interns in here defending his crack sales in the comment section. Where do I sign up? I wanna get paid too.
Ok so to clarify to all the fools speculating, the 92 bricks was actually $92,000, he clarified it himself, 92 money bricks not coke bricks, look it up
“Stockholm syndrome has been defined as a condition in which hostages develop a psychological alliance with their captors during captivity. Emotional bonds may be formed between captor and captives, during intimate time together, but these are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims.” -Wikipedia
Lost 92 kilos? I know foos that got smoked for an ounce of yayo… I got to agree with Worm.
Worm is telling facts. Jay was a fucking nerd who never sold a rock in his life. Ask anyone from Marcy they’ll tell you.
I mean, I know a lot of nerds that sell weight. This idea that you have to be an uzi packing cartel soldier in order to sell some pounds is simply not true. It just depends on your clientele. It’s just like rap. If you’re gonna sell your stuff to gangsters and thugs, then you need to wear a vest at your concert. If you sell your stuff to coffee shop chicks and backpackers you got nothin to worry about.
Jay-Z might have sold some weight but he wasn’t this big time rug dealer. Almost every good dude move weight in those days
*drug
*hood dude
Faizon is a weirdo clown always talking out his neck
But really, who cares. Jay-Z is a dope MC. That’s all that matters. This is rap. Anyone who thinks rappers are telling the truth in their raps are kind of missing the point. As an MC you’re just trying to build a character, then project your vision. The vision can be whatever you want as long as the music is dope. People take rap way too literally now, and lose the message and the enjoyment in the process. Like the Bible.
“u don’t know…thats where youre wrong…i came into this mufucka 100 grand strong…nine to be exact, from griding g packs….put this shit in motion aint no rewinding me back…coulda made 40 off a brick but one rhyme could beat that…”
according to numerous accounts from jay’s contemporary rappers and industry ppl, jay HAD bread when rocafella first was established….maybe it wasn’t no huge amount but he was rollin in some dough fo sho…while most rappers came into the game pretty much broke
