N.O.R.E. unleashed a swarm of Killa Beez when he referred to them as “flunkies” during a recent episode of Drink Champs. Longtime Wu-Tang Clan affiliate Shyheim slammed Noreaga for his comments via Instagram shortly after he caught wind of the clip.
Speaking to HipHopDX, Killarmy’s general 9th Prince also addressed Noreaga directly, saying, “None of Noreaga’s albums can compare to any of the Killarmy albums. Challenging any of my Wu-Tang Killa Beez brethren is like sliding down on a razor into a pool of alcohol.”
Wu-Syndicate member Myalansky added, “Never rattle the hornets nest. We coming and the sting can be severe.” Needless to say, tensions were mounting.
Now, the Drink Champs co-hosts have vowed to discuss Noreaga’s commentary. On Wednesday (August 25), a statement arrived on the series’ official Instagram account that suggested the media was to blame for the situation.
“Drink Champs gets together Friday at which point we will address the misunderstanding concerning the Wu affiliates,” it read. “We won’t let any media source, blogger or social media turn this into something it’s not! #drinkchamps #positiveenergy #wegiveflowers.”
9th Prince tells DX he’s open to whatever N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN has to say.
“Killarmy and the Wu-Tang Killa Beez are all wise and civilize,” he notes. “We are the most humble people you can meet, but we will not stand for any disrespect. You will be punished for going against the Gods. We are open for all apologies and will accept them humbly and respectfully.
“Sometimes you got to cut the head of a snake off, so that it doesn’t bite anyone Else. Wu-Tang Killa Beez for ever.”
Meanwhile, DJ EFN already commented on Shyheim’s initial Instagram post and tried to smooth things over.
“I got mad respect for all the wu affiliates including you which is why I even mentioned your name,” EFN wrote to Shyheim. “I know it came off foul by that word being used but y’all most definitely not flunkies. Much respect and hope to have y’all at the @drinkchamps table.”
Mickey Factz, who was a guest during the episode in question, offered a roughly five-minute Instagram apology for appearing to fan the flames and admitted the “optics” didn’t look good.
“I just want to give an apology to all of the Wu-Tang members and anyone who’s affiliated with them as well as their supporters and their fans,” he said in part. “That was definitely out of line, it was out of pocket and there’s really no excuse for that.”
In a follow-up post, Mickey Factz revealed he’d met with members of Killarmy and Sunz of Man via Zoom to squash the brewing beef.
“Had a conversation with some members of Killaarmy & Sunz of Man before my statement,” he wrote on Thursday (August 25). “As black men, I apologized, we put it behind us and then laughed it off. Handled everything behind the scenes before going public. This is behind me now and we back to providing quality lyricism and entertainment! Love.”

Mickey Factz was sitting in the room with a front seat to win the Wu got at Joe Budden. He don’t want NO problems. On the other hand, they don’t want to run up on NORE and see him turn back into Papi the shooter lol
NORE lmao what a weak ass drunk he not hurting anybody, alcoholic ass muthafucka with a big mouth
Maybe…but Pone his right hand i know aint no sucka
Pone AINT DO SHIT when Freddie Foxx came for Nore. Yall forgot about that shit because Nore WANTED yall to forget that
Capoje was nowhere to be found when Freddie Foxx pulled Nore’s hoe card. Yall forgot about that because Nore WANTED yall to forget that.
Nore is married and on love and Hip-Hop simping for his woman. The Papi days have long left his system. Meanwhile half these Wu Tang affiliates are trying to flush the angel dust out of their systems before meeting their P.O. Nore doesn’t want the hassle of having to wrestle with men on the brink.
Papi the shooter? Looool. You don’t know his history when he was all shook in Queens trying to come up. I think Prodigy talked about it in his book back in the day. Nore is just a simp alcoholic uncle saying he still got it hitting on the teenage girls at a stire
Wu Tang a to deep and ill
Shyheim wack af
Lol wu got everyone apologizing, thatz true respect
hip hop always boosting up the dumb sht – having a show where grown men drink like college girls and then see how far they can go insulting each other before some one wants to start beef. Adults don’t drink like this. This is what alcoholics do. This show just makes it seem like this is normal behaviour for 50 year old men and all this does is get you a one way ticket to the drunk tank next stop homeless shelter. but they have all kind of money to promote this to black youth and black men in particular.
Shut tf fuck up lol.
In 5 years this has been the only incident that got this far out of pocket take your lame ass to church and let father intyntola finger u chump
can’t support this bs considering what we’ve seen in the last 12 months. lots of people in hip hop who need to look in the mirror and consider they may not be here tomorrow. if that’s a big joke, think of the youth. Wasn’t DMX on drink champs just a few months before he passed? are you saying they didn’t know the extent of his issues?
It’s a grown man to come out and apologize. But it’s fairly obvious over the years people have forgot how deep Wu is, now these three dudes don’t want to get beat down. And don’t give me that shooter shit, NORE has been exposed as a sucker before. Killa Beez, Wu, these are real dudes. And what’s more they are REAL family, REAL friends. Just like it was in the early to mid nineties, you fuck with one you fuck with em all and that includes fans as well. These drink champ clowns just forgot, but they won’t again. You are all damn lucky Killa Sin is locked up.
Shut your fan girl ass up and quit acting like wu is a tight family lol. The core group couldnt even keep it together without always bitching and moaning about each other but they all cry and come together if someone else has a mere opinion about them. Super Corny.
You sound stupid you can fight your brother and sister all day but you won’t let someone else put they hands on your family.
Ughh. You just described family. It’s sad that your type does not know what that looks like.
You probably had an insufferable mother and your father was smart enough to dip. So you don’t know your other siblings.
What you just described is how every family works. Lol
Stfu
Wu Tang vs CNN?
Wu-Tang vs. CNN Verzuz!
Lol at these clowns in the comments “Pappi the shooter”…..I guess you could call him a shooter….if shooting up into the air counts lmao
