“He just changed, period. Look at his crew,” Jeezy told XXL at the time. “The same n-ggas ain’t around him, You ain’t never been in no streets. I could never have no beef with a n-gga like that. He’s a cornball.”

Things then came to a boiling point when Drama was assaulted by Jeezy’s crew during the screening of The Notorious B.I.G. biopic Notorious in Atlanta.

“It got real bro, it got really real,” Jeezy told The Breakfast Club. “The beef was over Drama had someone that was managing him, but he was trying to be an artist too, and he kinda got into Drama’s ear about a lot of things, and just started to build this toxic environment of he said she said.”

He continued: “I think Drama decided he had to go with them because I think at the time homie had been they muscle or something, I don’t know. Something happened at the club, I can’t really say, but yeah. It got really bad over time.

“I came to a point in my life where I just kinda started healing myself because I had a lot of trauma things, and I just started working on myself and I think Drama was doing the same thing. Over time we just kinda came back together when they guy got out of their business. So I just kinda feel like we both just crew and changed our surroundings.”
