The story of Jack Thriller’s beef with 2 Chainz is a tale that has been told and retold for years. The comedian got himself into a bit of trouble with the Atlanta rapper years ago, and many weren’t sure why these two unlikely foes were going at one another. Thriller recently visited Hot 107.9 and took responsibility for stirring up hostility with 2 Chainz and he dropped the reason why he decided to square up in the first place.

“We got into it because he didn’t like me and I wanted to be his friend,” Jack Thriller said. “And I had got in my feelings. That was on some hoe sh*t and when he just didn’t react to me the way I wanted him to react to me, I threw a fit. I said something that I shouldn’t have said and I took it way too far on some clout-chasing, treasure trolly type sh*t. It got outta hand and I was really disrespectful to that guy. It was so uncalled for, so unwarranted and I’m a big fan. So, even when I tried to be mad, I couldn’t ’cause he kept on coming out with hit after hit after hit.”

“I felt so stupid ’cause I love him,” he continued. “But when I would see him and to see the hate in his eyes and the anger and the malice. He looked like he wanted to reach in and take my good eye and squeeze that b*tch, throw it on the ground, stomp that mother f*cker and put it out like a cigarette.”

Years ago, Jack Thriller was a guest on Drink Champs and they called 2 Chainz during the episode. Let’s just say things escalated quickly when Chainz lost his cool and said anything with Jack’s blood is “p*ssy.” Thriller added, “He said when he gon’ see me, it’s on ‘on sight.’ I’m not as mad as he is, that’s why I’m scared.” The two men haven’t spoken since that time. “If I find out where he at, I’m not gon’ go there,” Jack joked.

He also said he’s sent the rapper Edible Arrangements and singing telegrams with apologies, but he’s still making sure he avoids 2 Chainz at all costs. Watch the clip of his interview below.

Many people say that Atlanta has taken the crown from New York as the home of hip hop. There is a multitude of today’s leading artists who call the southern city home. When people think about rappers who helped put Atlanta on the map, there are plenty of Georgia natives who come to mind, but EPMD icon Erick Sermon claims that he’s responsible for making Atlanta the hip hop hub it is today.

“David Banner said, too, ‘Erick, do not let somebody else talk about Atlanta, Georgia and don’t mention your name,'” the New York rapper told No Filter Podcast. He then mentioned that he had visited Killer Mike’s Trigger Warning where someone stood up and said, “These people, these hoes, everything in here is because of you.” Apparently, the man added, “I don’t care what anybody say, everybody in here, they owe you.”

Erick talked about owning a rim shop in Georgia that catered to celebrities. “Now, people did [music] videos, but not downtown,” he added. “I brung the cameras downtown. So then the front page of The Constitution, which is the paper down there, says ‘Erick Sermon moves to Atlanta.’ And I’m like, yo, what’s the big deal? But to them, it was because why did you chose to come here out of all the places?”

According to Sermon, it was then that hip hop artists began to descend on the city to visit him at his shop. He added that when his songs used to play on the radio stations in the ATL, DJs would say, “Atlanta’s own Erick Sermon.” He continued, “If you ask everybody that’s there like Jack Thriller, he made a big statement, too, on his show… ‘You were Atlanta’.”  Sermon even said that the mayor tried to give him the key to the city but he refused.
