Faizon Love recently sat down for a chat on the Boss Talk 101 podcast, where he was asked about why he's continued to call out Dave East for being a "fake Crip."
Faizon explained, "Dave East, I don't know. He just a kid. I call myself saving his life. I'm like, bruh. How are you a Crip?"
As Dave East is from New York, Faizon explained that he doesn't see how he's a Crip, when, to his knowledge, the true members of the gang hail from certain areas of Los Angeles. Faizon stated, "With the B-Dawgs, it's a whole different thing. This ain't the Boy Scouts. You didn't grow up on my street. You have to grow up on your street. Ice Cube told you, 'Die for a street they ain't never heard of.' So, it's like, that's the only thing -- I was just trying to get some clarity like, how is he a crip?"
This comes after Dave East addressed Faizon during a sit-down with Smoke Champs, and he explained that he's never met Faizon, and he doesn't understand why he's being called out. Dave stated, " I was a fan! I liked your role on Friday. N***a woke up one day and said, 'Dave East ain't a real crip.' Who told you that? Who you went and sat around and gave you that vibe?"
Dave added, "I move how I move, I got family where I got family. I don't have nothing to prove to a soul. I'll be 33 in June. I'm a grown f*cking man. Who I gotta prove something to? You don't believe it, then you don't believe it. If you know, then you know. I never met him, never spoke to him in my life."
