N.O.R.E. is facing backlash after being accused by viewers of trying to create drama between The Isley Brothers and Beyoncé during their appearance on Drink Champs.
In the interview, N.O.R.E. said: “You see what Stephanie Mills is going through right now? She said something about the Beyhive…they ain’t like it. You cannot say nothing about the Bey. Leave it alone. It’s a well-known fact. You cannot say nothing about Beyoncé. Everybody knows it.”
He continued, “It’s like the mafia…we don’t discuss it. We just follow the rules. But Stephanie Mills held it down. She went to The Breakfast Club, she held it down, she didn’t back down. She just said she thought that Diana Ross was on a different level than Beyoncé.”
The Isley Brothers did not responds to N.O.R.E. attempts to draw them into a conversation. They have recently worked with Bey.
“And we all understand what she meant, but how it was expressed was like, you can’t say nothing about Beyoncé,” N.O.R.E. said. “And in this day and era, you know, god bless you guys, you guys didn’t have Instagram, but I’m telling you, you lucky, ’cause Instagram is some crazy… like, oh my God. I just go on Twitter just to be negative sometimes. I just need an ounce of negativity, so I’ll just go on there and be like, ‘Hey, how’s everyone doing?’ People be like, ‘F-ck you!’ I’m like, ‘I said hi. I did nothing wrong to offend you.’ It’s the wild wild west, I swear to God. I literally will go on there and just say hi.”
