Styles P is not too happy with former D-Block rapper J-Hood for claiming in a new interview that The LOX took at least $35,000 from him.
Earlier this week, J-Hood paid a visit to Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion and shared a story about his deal with D-Block, which he deemed less than favorable. According to Hood, his house burned down and he had to use the $25,000 advance The LOX gave him to take care of the situation along with his mother.

However, label executives allegedly told Hood they gave him $60,000, which led to him thinking Styles, Jadakiss and Sheek Louch might have been withheld some money from him. Styles P got word of Hood’s comments and took to Instagram Live to clear the air.
“You know I usually don’t feed into this. Math, I’m disappointed in you, bro,” Styles said. “On My Expert Opinion, you didn’t ask me anything about J-Hood. Then you want to have J-Hood up there. You could have called me on my line to fact-check the shit he was saying but you gotta do what you gotta do when it comes to working and getting business out, but that my man was some wack ass shit.”
He continued: “But I get it, love is love, I still love y’all, I still love the show I get what it is, but next time you could G check or fact-check the thing. One, we ain’t no clickbait group, Louch don’t owe you a fucking interview, and nobody definitely don’t owe J-Hood no fucking 60 G’s. I’m really disappointed in J-Hood, to be honest with you.”

Styles explained The LOX had never said anything bad about J-Hood, even after he did his “sucker shit” to them. SP said he spent a good three years protecting Hood from people who wanted to do him harm by allegedly calling off hits and more.
“Here it is 20 years later,” Styles said. “Louch been in your house to fight your father for you before. N-ggas gave your mother money when your house burned down. We actually made you into the artist you are. Louch used to argue with Flex to play your shit, but you’re owed 60 G’s?”

He added: “The label didn’t really want to fuck with you but you’re owed 60 G’s? And the sucker shit that I ain’t even say you know you not you ain’t owed 60 G’s cause you tried to fucking sue us. You went to the lawyers, you tried to say we had your publishing to see we didn’t have your publishing.”
Styles ended his diatribe by stating J-Hood wasn’t cut from the same cloth as his LOX brothers, hence the relationship not working out between them. SP was actually offended that Hood didn’t go up on My Expert Opinion to actually apologize to The LOX instead of saying he’s a co-founder of D-Block.
“I love you I wish you the best keep doing what you doing but keep our fucking name out your mouth, you speak on our name with respect,” Styles said. “Nobody owes you a damn thing and stop lying on people’s names.”
Math Hoffa left a comment under the repost of Styles P’s IG Live and defended himself saying: “Since we doing internet shit… I’ll respond then maybe JoJo can give me ya # (cuz I don’t have it) or maybe Kiss can answer his text or The week I held the interview Sheek could’ve reached back but it’s all love. I wonder if Angie or flex would’ve been “wack” for doing the same interview…”

J-Hood met The LOX through DMX in the ’90s, which led to him extensively recording with the trio. He appeared on Louch’s charting single “Mighty D-Block (2 Guns Up)” in 2003 and released his first mixtape Hood Stripes under the D-Block label.
A buzz grew but quickly faded out after J-Hood was frustrated with the way the label was handling him as a client. He left the label in 2007 for the independent circuit and released several mixtapes while also dissing his former labelmates in various interviews.
