Tony Yayo recalled a time Eminem went toe to toe with Suge Knight and did not back down.
The incident went down at 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” video shoot in Los Angeles when Suge turned up with his crew.
“Cameras are falling, dancers are running, everybody’s running,” said Yayo.
“This is why I always respected Eminem, 50 and n-ggas that was with us. Suge came, he had some Mexican n-ggas. Now, we from New York; you ain’t never seen a n-gga with a tattoo on his forehead. We like, ‘Damn, what we got to lose? If we don’t pop now, we going back to the hood.’ So it’s like, fight these Mexican Blood n-ggas, killer n-ggas, or go back home to the crib. Might as well go all out and fight right here! We around Dr. Dre so it’s like, ‘Yo, we gotta do what we gotta do.'” he continued.
“[Suge] lights his cigar and he trying to see what you gon’ do. This is when I knew Eminem was real. He was like, ‘I don’t give a f-ck, man.’ That’s when I knew, ‘Damn, Eminem is a real n-gga.’ 50 n-ggas outside. ‘What’s up?!’ And then the n-gga Suge just walked away. The Mexican n-ggas looked kinda confused, they didn’t know what was going on.”
