Jadakiss has finally addressed Tyler, The Creator’s man-crush on him.
In an interview with the Power 105’s The Breakfast Club, which premiered on YouTube on Wednesday (Aug. 11), Jada, along with The Lox members Sheek Louch and Styles P, talked about their Verzuz battle against Dipset earlier this month, among other things like the former Odd Future member weighing in on the battle.
When Charlamagne Tha God asked Jada about Tyler’s "high praise"—or crush—for him during his Verzuz performance, Jadakiss brushed it off and jokingly urged Tyler to calm down.
“Tyler, The Creator better chill out,” he said with a smile. “Nah, I like Tyler, The Creator. That just means that he tapped into our frequency [and] he loved Verzuz so I didn’t take it as disrespect. Very talented, very smart dude."
Charlamagne further explained Tyler’s admiration of the Yonkers, N.Y. rhymer. “He expounded and said you care. That’s what he got—that ’Kiss and The Lox care about the craft of rap," Charla said.
Jadakiss is talking about Tyler’s comment during his Verzuz battle where Tyler wrote, "Pause i think i gotta crush on Jadakiss that nigga confidence and voice control is crazy and he aged well wheesh."
Elsewhere in the interview, Jadakiss shot down ghostwriting rumors that he penned Mase's verse on "Horse & Carriage," The Notorious B.I.G.'s rhymes on 112's "Only You," Biggie and Diddy's verses on "Mo Money, Mo Problems" and Jennifer Lopez's song "Jenny on the Block."
"All of them are the most wrongly as they can be," Jada stated. "No where next to close."
