Tony Yayo has been blessed with the gift of gab and he’s going to turn his storytelling ability into a podcast.
Earlier this week, Yayo joined VLADTV for another interview where he teased the launch of his upcoming podcast and he’s coming for all of the greats and their real estate in the Hip Hop space.

“I’m soaking up game with you because I’m telling you I’ma have one of the biggest podcasts. I’ma be up there with the greats. That’s my next thing because I love talking.”

It’s unclear at this time what Yayo will title his podcast or which platform it’ll be on but it sounds as if he’s ready to get rolling this year.
Plenty of Yayo’s interviews have gone viral in the past as he made a dynamic appearance on Drink Champs last year. That five-hour interview boasts over 2.4 million views to date.
One of the memorable stories came when the G-Unit rapper told to N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN the moment he knew Eminem was a “real n-gga.”

Yayo’s story took place in the early ’00s at 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” video shoot in Los Angeles, where he said Eminem backed down Suge Knight, who had pulled up to the set with an army of Mexican gangsters.
The Queens native remembered how chaos erupted when the infamous Death Row Records co-founder initially arrived. “Cameras are falling, dancers are running, everybody’s running,” he said. Eminem, on the other hand, was apparently not afraid (excuse the pun).
“This is why I always respected Eminem, 50 and n-ggas that was with us,” Tony Yayo began. “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 fuck, 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.

“Eminem came outside, 100 percent. Eminem was like, ‘I don’t give a fuck, man!’ Remember, it’s documented, Proof told Suge: ‘Yo, you killed 2Pac!’ in the middle of a party. Them Detroit n-ggas are kinda crazy, bruh! Them 7, 8 Mile n-ggas always been crazy … You could ask anybody, Proof was a wild boy. Rest in peace to Proof.”
