The Grammys recently delivered a 50th anniversary tribute to hip-hop during the show. It included Missy Elliott, Lil Uzi Vert, Run-DMC, Queen Latifah, Black Thought and The Roots, Lil Baby, GloRilla, Method Man, Rakim, and more. Scarface also appeared, briefly performing “Mind Playing Tricks on Me,” an impactful record from the southern group Geto Boys. Despite the song being performed, only Scarface appeared, which caused Willie D to call out the Grammys for snubbing him.
Via his Instagram, Willie D captioned a video of himself, saying, “Disrespectful Mofos!!! No mo’ talk.” In the video, the rapper said, “A reminder to the Grammys and all the rest of y’all out there trying to hustle the Geto Boys brand by only including Scarface, who had a stellar solo career: How in the hell are you gonna have a 50-year tribute to Hip Hop and not include Geto Boys the group?”
The hip-hop legend didn’t stop there, saying, “If you forgot, the group includes Scarface and Willie D. How you gonna use a performance that includes a song that I co-wrote but not even have the decency, the respect to reach out to me and ask me if I wanted to participate? Y’all are some clowns for that. All the way out of pocket. Whoever made the call, y’all some clowns… No more talking.” Take a look above.
