Currently, it is no secret that Saigon and Mobb Deep are beefing. This beef buzz mainly comes from an on-stage altercation during a show. After the small scrapping match, the two sides spoke briefly on the matter, released video footage of their sides and made statements. Now, Mobb is going even further into the mayhem.
“We went to Hav’s show, you know how we do, we the Mobb,”Prodigy told MTV. “We was going to show love and celebrate. It was all love. Then we hear [DJ] Premier on the mic saying, ‘We got a special guest performance tonight: Saigon.’ We all looking at each other like, ‘Saigon? What is he doing here? Special guest performance? OK, let’s get up onstage.’ Basically, Hav showed him love. Saigon was like, ‘Oh, it’s all love.’ I was glad that happened. But certain people around us was like, He’s poppin’ sh–. We f—ing him up.’ And that’s what happened. He caught lumps.”
So, what does Prodigy say about getting hit?
“For people to say, ‘He snuffed P,’ first of all, that’s what happens in a fight…People get hit. I been hit plenty of times in my face in a fight. I done got people’s teeth lodged in my knuckles and all that. That’s what happens. At the end of the day, he got chased out the building.”
“He saw an opportunity where he could hit me and he hit me…He was smart for doing that. But right after that, he got lumped some more. He’s getting chased out the club [riding] on his man’s back. N—as was telling him, ‘Drop your jewelry and we’ll stop chasing you.’ [Sai says that never happened.] He dropped his watch then hopped in the car and left. We picked up his watch and threw it away ’cause it was fake. Me and Hav ain’t even do none of this. When all of that was going on, we did a Mobb Deep performance. We did seven songs and bounced. [Saigon] got a little lucky punch, but dude hits like a girl. It’s nothing. His man knocked me down ’cause he punched me in my shoulder. I jumped right back up from that.”
Havoc added his own statement regarding Saigon‘s exit from the club.
“How do you jump on another man’s back? How do you do that? He jumped on another man’s back [to flee the club]. He started with us from the beginning. He’s a wack new rapper who will never be a legend. Mobb Deep are legends. If you think I’m wrong, say I’m wrong, but I got mad gold and platinum plaques.”
P went on to speak about the beef and any potential chances of it spilling over into real life violence.
“Ain’t nobody trying to kill nobody or nothing like that. Nobody is trying to do that. It’s lumps. It’s reasons behind everything. We ain’t just reckless out here. Mobb Deep is way smarter than that. How you think we survived in the streets for so long? We ain’t out here just recklessly wilding.”
According to the duo, beef is not that serious right now. Recently, Havoc said some disrespectful comments regarding Kanye West. Now, he’s stating that it isn’t serious.
“I’m just trying to make it a little more interesting. Of course I like Kanye. He knows I don’t hate him. I met him, I like him, he’s a good dude. It’s just like being in the game with Michael Jordan. I love him to death, but I gotta foul him. Give him a quick elbow.”
