Mistah FAB, Royce Da 5′9 Officially End Beef
Those who haven’t heard on the internet, Detroit’s Royce Da 5′9 and Oakland rapper Mistah FAB have been immersed in a war of words, trading diss freestyles back and forth as of late.
The beef began after Royce spit a line for Mistah FAB on a freestyle over Jay-Z’s “Blue Magic” track, following an Allhiphop sponsored battle in New York, in which Mistah FAB was declared the winner.
On the freestyle, Royce raps “$100,000 chain like my face up, tell Mistah FAB, get his cash when he wakes up.” Although Royce has stated in a recent interview that the line wasn’t meant as disrespect, Mistah FAB took it that way, and went directly at Royce, dropping a full diss track called “Bodied”, in which Royce responded with “Who Got Bodied?”
Well, after the most recent track by FAB, “C.I.A.”, a 12-minute freestyle over Tupac’s “Hitem Up,” Nas’ “Ether,” and Jay-Z’s “The Takeover,” it looks as the heated battle is now over.
According to Mistah FAB, the two rappers have spoken recently, and decided to end the beef. One reason being that they didn’t wanna start any tension between their two cities, of which local MCs had begun to take offense to some of the lyrics thrown back and forth.
“This sh– is not really the rappers, but their entourage that keep beef going, they blow it out of proportion,” Mistah FAB told BallerStatus.com in a statement. “Me and [Royce Da 5′9] know it’s rap. But it started becoming Detroit verse the Bay. When it started going in that direction, we felt we needed to dead it and focus on getting money. We talked for close to an hour and things are cool now.”
The short lived battle was getting very intense, so it’s good to see that it has officially ended.
At press time, Royce Da 5′9’s camp had yet to release a statement.
