Popa Wu says that his interaction with Action Bronson at Sean Price’s wake Tuesday (August 11) was blown out of proportion.
“It was in the parking lot,” Popa Wu says to MTV. “And it was so many people. We were just in the corner talking. We was just talkin’. Nobody was yelling or screaming. I was talking to him.”
Popa Wu, a Wu-Tang affiliate, says that he has nothing to do with the feud between Bronson and Ghostface Killah, which started last month when Bronson said Ghostface Killah is not rapping in his signature style. The Wu-Tang rapper responded by saying that he was going to gut Bronson “like a pig.”
Popa Wu says that he did not have an altercation with Bronson at Sean Price’s wake, but the two had mutual respect.
Popa Wu has a son the same age as the New York rapper and says he wishes the best for Bronson.
“That would be foolish for me to say that I have a problem,” Popa Wu says. “He’s a kid. He’s pursuing a career that he wants to be a rapper. I’m proud for him. That wasn’t an issue. Come on. I’m not foolish. I’m a grown-ass man. What I got an issue with a kid for? It doesn’t make sense. None of it makes sense.”
He also says he hopes Bronson will leave the Ghostface Killah rapper alone.
“Ghost isn’t thinking about that kid,” Popa Wu says. “He’s a kid. Just keep doing you and leave me out of it. That’s all everyone is trying to tell him. Don’t keep talking. That’s what you want to do? You want to sound like me, keep doing that, but don’t put up no blogs talking about me. Don’t say things that I’m not rapping like this. We’re trying to tell him, just leave me out of it. Do you. Don’t put us in it. We pioneers. We don’t have to take that from a kid, man.”
For additional Popa Wu coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
it’s all good, Papa Wu. You handled your business like a civilized man. Big ups to you and Wu.
Rap beef is part of HipHop. Tho’ I’m glad there’s been some backing down by both parties as it’s really ‘beef light’. I rate both as musical entertainers, but for decent output, Ghost got it ( over and above all Wu output imho )
& let’s not forget; opinions are like a-holes, we all got ’em….unless you’re on some Human Centipede steez. 🙂
Exactly. Poppa Wu keeps it 100. Only the media and White suburban kids who fear Blacks called this a confrontation, because it fits their own twisted narratives. Wu-Tang is for the children!!
Then explain Popa Wu’s caption on the picture, the one that he himself posted.
He merely stated that he let Bronson know he didn’t appreciate his comments on ESPN because they were flat out disrespectful. Are you slow?
My point is that his caption completely contradicts his story. If you can’t see that, you’re as slow as Popa Wu
What about black suburban kids? Stfu with that fukin nonsense…..like your some 5%er. Rofl……that was a racist ass comment you made
Sounds like like all those People jumping to negative conclusions look a little silly now!
This is Pappa Wu, higher intellect speaks wisdom!
Wu Tang 4 life! No hate on Bronsolini!
He just frutrated about getting Ghostface question for ages by now. Different charachters thats it!
action bon son was looking like a kid who got caught and he wanna look tough but deep down he feels like he let his dad down
Respect to Papa Wu and the whole Wu-Tang Family. I think everyone agrees Bronson needed to be checked. And I
Love Bronson as an emcee but feel JE made a stupid comment…any hip-hop head knows ghost has put out recent classics with 36 Seasons and Twelve Reasons to die 1 and 2. He is still spitting that shit and is at the top of his pen game. If he wasnt putting out dope music I could Understand such a comment, but Ghost has been killin shit for over 20 years and is still going in w music and tours. Bronson should take this one on the chin and move on. And should just choose his words more wisely in interviews to avoid situations like this. Cause Clyde Smith told us on Supreme Clientele that “we gon see you”. Wu will see you and aren’t just gonna let cats say stupid shit. Mase learned that the hard way. And poor Joey, man I love Joey but he got checked properly too haha
I’m a gfk fan as well as Bronson and it’s not like what Bronson said was out of pocket. Get the WU dick out your mouths. Meth bout to drop if he haven’t already so enjoy the music it’s a one sided beef.
What a clown. What about the caption you posted under the picture. Sit your old ass down. Clown!
This guy says We a lot …. Either he’s french or dilutional . He’s not Wu tang & he for sure not legendary.
The only thing delusional here is your spelling
You mean Oui.. You fucking dumb ass American.
I love Wu-Tang , grew up on it and I still remember the first time I heard 36 chambers but let’s be for real they aint be relevant for a minute now and Ghost aint put out shit worth listening too. Now don’t get me wrong Action Bronson or Tragic Johnson whatever he wants to be know as is pure trash too but it aint like he was lying about Wu-Tang.
Only one relevant right now is RZA and he scoring movies and acting and the rest of the WU want to be mad at him when he wants 80% off the money for doing a WU album.
I think you’re confusing a group with 20 plus years of work put in with some rappers who got the media buzz following their popularity as “relevancy”.
Your name shouldn’t be “Wu Soldier” after posting that comment.
You Stupid ass kids, with this relevant statement, that’s like saying Mike Tyson needs to knock one more person out for him to be validated. GTFOH with that BS, Ghost is a Pioneer, you don’t shit in your plate by disrespecting a Pioneer when you haven’t contributed shit to the art form except Shark niggaz and get mad when people say you sound like the next man. You kids got to get your balloon popped for you to understand how real someone’s legacy is. Industry rule #40081 Dont say shit about any WU Members.
See popa wu didn’t bring drama he pull him to the side like grown men should do all he saying is do you if u sound like ghost keep doing you it’s enough money for us to get u can tell action grew up listening to ghost
I’m black n proud but when a black person refer to kill a white person as a pig….That black person ain’t no different from a black kkk n that’s simply evil in my book
Thats why Popa Wu gonna give “Chesties” to Action Bronson? GTFOH lame ass retreading his Instagram comment Fuckin Clown!
I hear this man Popa Who? gives mean head.. He loves suckin on boners all day every day.. Because he is g4y
What are you, 10 years old?
wacktion is a clown. How can you diss a man on the cover of Cuban linx? and expect to survive in black music? and be white of all things? Your careers over.
he selling more than wu these days
yea some 15 year old would bring up record sales. The disagreement has nothing to do with record sales, has nothing to do with race. Its about respect. The wu sold way more records in the 90s than ANYBODY but u never heard them disrespect their forefathers. Wu would never diss run dmc, big daddy kane, kool g rap. In fact they always gave them props and shouted them out. Bottom line respect your elders especally when everyone says u sound like one of them. And Wu-Tang clan ain t nothin to fuck wit, just ask joe buddens
u think only black people r tough, u american? it aint like that in the rest of the world mate
Never herd of him and to do it at sean p’s wake people need to know that there are alot of rappers better than them
You all need to do your homework. Fake ass Wu fans. if you have no idea who Papa Wu is your opinions and thoughts don’t mean s***. Bunch of young dumb asses. that’s the wrong with the culture too much emphasis on the b******* not enough on the culture. you all need to do your science and math. corporations got you and the hip hop game all f***** up. who do you think that is speaking on the end of ghosts all that I got is you? he is the father of all Wu Tang, the spiritual head. don’t claim this hip hop thing if you don’t know the science behind it….
No math or science involved in knowing who this dude is. You trying too hard to sound somewhat intelligent
jesus mate wtf r u goin on about
grown man talk. much more proper than the Ghostface video
“We pioneers” nah u delusional nega it’s called has-beens. no more relevant.
so thats why when ghostface did a show for $20 it drew a bigger and more live crowd than actions free concert at the same venue right
That’s all fine and well to come out and say this after, but don’t post it on your instagram with a comment like you were some big bad street dude giving him a thrashing. It’s one thing to have a quick conversation at a wake to clear the air, it’s another to approach somebody to perpetuate/celebrate a beef; draw attention to it at a moment it’s clearly not called for. You deserve to look like an ass, because you acted like one by posting that shit in the name of rap beef. It’s a post on your instagram, taken of you, not by you. Were you like, “Yo! Send me that photo god! Send me that photo! I gotta use that!”? You’re obviously master of the internet. Send Action a fucking email next time.
R.I.P. Sean Price & peace to the people that showed up for real and not to self-promote.
I agree. 100%!
He wasnt talkin like that on that pic he posted on IG
action is a grafted Version of Ghostface he need to get ghost nuts out his mouth and do his own flow,,,sounded like malibu most wanted on ESPN,,,
