During a recent appearance on Math Hoffa’s podcast “My Expert Opinion” Yayo, 44, shared his thoughts on G-Unit and The Game, real name Jayceon Terrell Taylor.

Without 50, Game, Banks, Buck, Yayo. We could have went out and made millions overseas. But [he] started the G-Unot,” Yayo growled. “When I was on that balcony in Battery Park, and I heard 50 giving him all those records, I’m looking at him like, ‘You giving him all this sh*t bro?'”

You gotta think about this. You got L.A. ni**as blowing up an East Coast ni**a,” he said as he referenced Dr. Dre signing 50 Cent. “What you think ni**as in the studio saying? We New York ni**as. ‘You gotta blow up the West Coast. The West Coast the best coast, blood.'”

Then Yayo wanted to move on and talk about other issues besides G-Unit’s splintering and The Game, but Hoffa dug in his heels to discuss more about The Game, causing Yayo to fly into a rage.

When sh*t goes sour and the money slow up, ni**as start tripping,” he said. “Never bite the hand that feeds you. What’s up with loyalty, homie? You know the era ni**as came up in, man. Loyalty is everything.”

“Y’all keep acting like Game is the real legacy of G-Unit,” he shouted. “No, it’s Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and 50 Cent, ni**a. ‘Cause any New York issues that happened, I had to deal with when ni**as pulled up. Understand? When I was on [Rikers Island prison], I had to deal with issues G-Unit had. I wasn’t in PC. No, ni**as is real ni**as. Game is on the West Coast, that’s his shit. We had to deal with Jimmy Henchman.”

G-Unit and The Game’s feud started in the mid-2000s when 50 Cent began squabbling with rappers Fat Joe and Jadakiss after they appeared on Ja Rule’s 2004 “New York.”

50 Cent then prepared G-Unit for war. However, The Game refused to go to war, claiming he had no issues with Jadakiss or Fat Joe, resulting in 50 Cent kicking him out of G-Unit.
