"I was blown away by the first verse. Second verse, when he said, 'Son, I’m surprised you run with them,' I stopped the tape. I was like, 'That’s how you feel?' He goes, 'I told you I had to get back at your man.' Just on some real nigga shit, I said, 'Go on and say what you have to say. I’m going to let that one go.' Puff was there. I told Puff, 'You and Jeru had your talk already.' Big interrupted and goes, 'Preme that wasn’t a talk, that was an argument. Nothing got solved.' I was like, 'That has nothing to do with you.' He goes, 'C’mon man, Versace suit.' I said in front of all of them, 'Anyone has a problem with Jeru then you have a problem with me, so move on me. Beat me up. I don’t want to get beat up but if that’s what I got to do to show you how loyal I am to my team and that we’re not dissing ya’ll. You’re making a big mistake if you do it.' I’ll never forget Puff. He was there at Daddy’s House like, 'Yeah, we’re coming after Jeru the Damaja too!'"
