Willie D is still upset over the Grammys’ 50th anniversary Hip Hop tribute with Scarface. Scarface performed Geto Boys song “Mind Playing Tricks on Me,” and did not include Willie.
“You feel like you was slighted,” Scarface told him.
“Slighted? I feel beyond slighted. Like what I’m tryna figure out is … First of all, I ask you Wednesday when we left here, I said, ‘What you got for the weekend?’ You said, ‘I’m finna go f-ck with this Grammys thing.’ I said, ‘Alright man, safe travels.’ Because, you know, that’s how we do it. Saturday come, I’m online and an article comes across about the Grammys. And I see ‘Geto Boys and Scarface’ in the lineup,” Willie D responded.
Scarface jumped in, “I wanna see where it says ‘Geto Boys, Scarface.’ I don’t never wanna get Geto Boys and Scarface intertwined ever. Because I don’t need Geto Boys to be Scarface, you feel me? So if it said ‘Geto Boys and Scarface’ or any of that shit two together, then they wrong for that because I can stand on my own two feet with no Geto Boys.”
Willie clapped back: “This is why it’s so baffling, because everybody knows that, right? You carved out a place in history for yourself. You were so good at what you did as a solo artist – you get that. Can’t nobody deny that, so ain’t no hate, ain’t no jealousy whatsoever. Remember I’m the one who said, ‘Hey man, you oughta call yourself Scarface.’ So I ain’t gon’ never hate on you. Never. When I see you win, I see Geto Boys win because we are a group.”
Was Scarface right to perform the track without Willie D?
