Tony Yayo returns for his 19th VladTV interview and addresses recent back-and-forths involving Jim Jones, Memphis Bleek, and comments made about him online. He acknowledges 50 Cent criticized him for taking too long to respond to Jim Jones, but says he purposely didn’t jump into an internet beef because it could escalate or attract unwanted attention.
Yayo explains that he sees most of the drama as promo and clout-chasing, since speaking on his name boosts people’s views and podcast numbers. He shouts out several platforms that mentioned him, saying their coverage only increases his engagement and visibility.
He emphasizes that G-Unit has always been viewed as the “bad guys,” and anytime they elevate, people come with hate or jealousy. Yayo says he stays focused on his own moves: opening dispensaries with Uncle Murda, helping bring the Gilgo Beach serial-killer story to 50 Cent, traveling overseas for shows, and doing international business.
Throughout the interview, he describes himself as staying humble, low-key, and uninterested in internet drama, contrasting his lifestyle—private jets, international shows, being around wealthy businesspeople—with others he claims aren’t doing the same.
Yayo downplays all the criticism, saying hate only motivates him, boosts his numbers, and gives him more exposure. He hints that he could go song-for-song with anyone if needed, but he’s not going to engage in pointless back-and-forths online. He concludes by saying he always wins by staying focused, working, and letting success speak for itself.
