Royce Da 5’9 caught a lot of people off guard when he publicly dissed Yelawolf on The Allegory single “Overcomer” last month.
The song — which found the Motor City MC calling Yelawolf a “vulture” and “punk ass” — led to a brief e-battle between Nickle Nine and the Alabama-bred rapper, but it wasn’t clear where things left off — until now.
During a recent interview with Genius’ For The Record video series, Royce provided a bit more detail on the situation, however he still didn’t divulge what exactly went down between them.
“He was a friend of mine,” Royce told Rob Markman at the 29:30-minute mark. “I felt disrespected by something that transpired, and that was just the way I chose to deal with it. I felt like I could’ve dealt with it in a few different ways. I chose not to because I don’t want to promote negativity. I don’t want to engage in silly, public, back-and-forth beefs. And I did feel like I needed to hold him accountable.”
Royce went on to explain he felt Yelawolf waited too long to reach out to hash out their differences.
“There wasn’t a communication line between us,” he said. “The window of opportunity for us to communicate closed, and it’s because he didn’t initiate it. So I just felt as friends, you would initiate that communication and give that clarification to me. But that never happened.”

He then admitted Yelawolf tried to get in touch with him following the release of “Overcomer,” but evidently he wasn’t feeling it.
“He reached out,” Royce said. “Oh yeah, after that he reached out. We didn’t speak, but he reached out after that. I don’t wish him nothing but the best. I don’t wish any ill will on him or anything like that. But I took offense to what he did and I moved on. It’s not the first time.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Royce talked about The Allegory, Eminem’s skit on the album and more.
Yela is a rare talent. I enjoy his music more than Royce. Plus he is just a cooler dude
I am tired of this shit either tell us what happened or shut the fuck up about it .. to be honest, I forgot the shit happened at all .. there is too much shit that poppin right now
It aint your business so why do you care
be it as it may , if isn’t my business then why speak on it publicly then .. once you put it out there it’s for public consumption, Royce could have handled privately and it would have remain private.. so it clearly evident he wanted public to know.. all I am saying is if you ain’t just sayin what it is , then don’t say it at all .. keep it moving and proceed to your next goal…
Such a victim. Everybody is a CuLtUrE VuLtUrE. Yet nobody with half a brain wants anything to do with your “culture”. Yelawolf is a soy boy beta cuck for sure but Royce sounds like a bitch too. Acting like his scorned momma. A lot of these “rappers” sure coulda used a stable father figure in their life. They act like a bunch of crazy emotional females.
Your mother told me to tell you to come upstairs, your frito pie is ready.
The part the article left out was that Royce said the issue was “racial”. So likely Yela did or said something Royce perceived as racist. Maybe it has something with the confederate flag dude loves wearing.
Heard in another interview it has something to do with Yelawolf and his DJ using the N word freaky around someone Royce sent down to work with him. When they confronted him he didn’t stop using it.
*freely
Damn kid. I posted a completely profanity free reply critical of Royce and got deleted. Wow.
Every body got beef and i came to eat.
Looks like Scarface of Geto Boys
W.O.W was one of the best songs off PRhyme 2, if not the best song. Sucks that they won’t be recording together
Translation im like a female need a little controversy to sell my album and even more so like a female for not just tellin another man he crossed me and waiting for him to reach out to you like a ho waitin on a phone call after a date shits pathetic
I used to like Royce man but lately it seem like he has strings attached to him. Ever since lord Jamar called him out on the Eminem dick riding he’s all of sudden pro black and so he’s dissing ppl like Michael rappaport Bc he said meek was trash which is HIS opinion and Yelawolf when I’m sure whatever he did was made up
I wonder if this beef stems from Yelawolf keeping MGK on his album after Rap Devil.
someone closer to the situation explained it in a no jumper comment section. Klever, Yela, and maybe Royce’s brother Vishis were chillin in a studio session with some producers, Brian Jones was mentioned. Klever was dropping forms of a racial slur and they feel offended that Yela didn’t check him for it. Royce feels he was owed an apology or explanation. It didn’t come immediately or within his time frame. It wasn’t Yela saying nothing racial, had nothing to do with a confederate flag, which he has distanced himself from since, had nothing to do with an mgk feature or kid rock feature. Royce admits himself they were cool until recently, and kid rock, mgk, confederate flag are all old issues. Who knows, but Royce ain’t offering enough explanation and this seems to get mentioned on every media stop he does.
Yelawolf spent his whole career being a cuckold and kissing black peoples ass and now this is how they repay him lol. Let this be a lesson to all you wiggers out there. The only people blacks hate more than each other are white people no matter much of a sell out you are. They will never accept you no matter how far you bend over backwards for them. They eat their own. And when that day comes for you you will realize what a fool you have been this whole time trying to fit in with a culture of hateful, racist, morons.
So you know what happen between them?
I grew up as a black kid “trying to be white” because I liked heavy metal. I wasn’t really excepted by blacks or whites, but mostly whites supported me. The black community is a complex issue when it comes to culture, and alot of our problems come from self hate. When it comes to culture and music black and white borrow from each other because music is universal.
Fuck all white people all they do is steal from every other race
Lol you jealous motherfucker, get over yourself.
Where do you think the clothes you’re wearing comes from? Or the shoes? What about this young generation wearing skinny pants and classic rock band t-shirts. Those NBA video games you love playing? Other races, not blacks. Blacks are a rarity in the game industry. That phone you’re using? You think a pro-black man/woman made that? What about the shows you like watching on Tv? Black people complain about theft of culture all the time all the while they have no idea how little their culture influences everything else. Black people are covered in white culture along with every other culture, they just didn’t know it yet.
Of course we are covered in white culture it was by force blacks were here first there would be no you without us. So what did we invent again “brother”? ?? racist dummy
Nobody wants any of your corny shit???you robbed your way 2 the top and by force now everything is by you. For 1 what the world follows from hip hop to fashion to slang is ours we have the biggest impact in the world. Some of yall sons and daughters love black wood, doing our dances and screaming Gang, Gang on a bbc as we speak. Dont let hate override facts and common sense
U ever played basketball? Thats cultural appropriation. A white man invented basketball.
U wear pants bro? That’s cultural appropriation, white people invented pants.
Drive a car bro? White people invented the wheel,Thats cultural appropriation!
I don’t even care what color you are I got two words for you. Fuck you! fuck you you little punk ass little pussy bitch I’m behind a keyboard I wish I could step to you and knock you on your bitch ass you stupid waste a human fucking breath you don’t deserve the air you breathe your daddy should have noted on the fucking floor with you you stupid fucking piece of shit go back to Africa then bitch come at me fuk head punk asses you’re all that apply casas slavery was 200 years ago grow some
The racism here is so repugnant if your a racist asshole whether white or black could you kindly strangle to death on a big dick. Your a bitch made fuckboy (,or girl) and a punk. Racism is based in fear and ignorance so there fore if your racist your both stupid as fuck and a coward ass bitch
FUCK YOU BITCHASS
Yelawolf is wack. I don’t care what color he is.. wack emcee. Period
It’s all thanks to us, our perseverance in pointing out Royce was hiding a Dr Phil hairline under those hats. He read the comments and realised he was a joke to us.. now he going around lookin like Mr Clean LOL
Now, this, my friends – is actual internet activism. What we put out on the internet directly had an effect on this man’s life. Before all the jokes about his dr phil hairline he was never seen without a stupid ass hat. Now he shaved it all off and rockin the bald head like it ain’t no thang.
How can a man reach out to you because you feel disrespected if your not man enough to step to him and say you felt disrespected yet you say you did not want to engage in some silly rap beef but you disrespected him publicly over a personal matter damn its hard to follow what you are saying
Yelawolf would shove that olive branch up this bald loser’s bootyhole
The funny thing is.. the dudes backing up Yelawolf.. they don’t know how Royce’s type get down. They couldn’t understand it if I set up a class lesson about it. This shit can’t be taught. Keep praising that corny ass dude Yelapup.. he got no clout or credibility. Neither do any of you mothafuckas.. that’s why u sit behind your phone or computer and talk reckless.. it’s fuckin hilarious
You know why we back him up? Because he is white. That makes him one of our own. If white people don’t hold it together, nobody else will do it for us. White people are the only race on this planet that always puts the interest of other ethnicities above it’s own, this is how effect the jooish brainwashing anti-white propaganda has been. But times are changing. The fire rises, my friend.
Whatt? Lol
Lol wut?
You sound like you’re a straight races white piece of shit you’re the type of people that give all white people and others a bad name this shit wasnt even about race until you had to say something stupid like that
Yelawolf is a better rapper than Royce and Royce was a straight female in this situation. Fuck Royce. Oh boy we need a lesson in what? Haha Royce is a clown. Every song they did together Wolf versus were better. Royce just a jealous punk who pulled a bitch move
Yelawolf fans are the smelly kids who talked about wrestling too much in grade school
