Ma$e has revealed he was set up to be robbed by Big L. During the recent episode of It Is What It Is, the former Bad Boy rapper delved into the details of how their feud took a dangerous turn.
“Me and L, we get into it,” Ma$e began. “He started using a few of my lyrics, like different compounds that I was using — that’s when you make two [syllables] [rhyme] at the same time. So I checked him […] and I’m like, ‘Yo, L!’”
He continued: “Me and L started talking and the conversation goes super left. Next thing I know, I’m in The Tunnel, and the n-gga Fat Joe comes up to me.
“Joe comes up to me and I’m looking like [pulls confused face]. And then Joe was like, ‘Man, I ain’t doing nothing to that n-gga! That’s Ma$e. That’s something y’all got going on.”
Ma$e then recalled walking through Harlem with childhood friend and former NBA star God Shammgod some time later — wearing his very first Rolex, no less — when they were suddenly accosted by an armed robber.
“A Spanish n-gga just ran out of nowhere like, ‘Yo, give it up, give it up! I’ma kill both of y’all n-ggas,’” he said. “He got the gun on [Shammgod]. We played basketball so we communicate with our eyes like, ‘N-gga, I’m about to run.’ […] Shamm got the look like, ‘Ma$e, stop playing.’”
Ma$e initially joked about not wanting to part with his “first Roley” to save his friend, but later decided to toss the watch on the ground near the thief, enabling him and Shammgod to escape.
“When the dude gets locked up, n-ggas start calling me: ‘Yo, the n-gga in here that just took your watch.’ And n-ggas got crazy on the dude in jail. They beat the n-gga so bad he told us who did it,” the Harlem World MC said.
“He was like, ‘Yo, Big L did that.’ I was like, ‘Big L? Awwh. It’s over for this n-gga.’”
