The legendary Tony Yayo recently appeared as a guest on N.O.R.E and DJ EFN’s “Drink Champs” podcast. As usual, Yayo did not hold back, engaging in his most outrageous interview in years.

He addressed long-standing issues with 50 Cent, Eminem, and Jimmy Iovine. Yayo also shared wild stories from his early music career days – everything from kidnapping to shooting reality shows.

Let’s recap the most eye-opening revelations from Tony Yayo’s unrestrained “Drink Champs” conversation.

Chapter 1: Beef Origins With 50 Cent and Eminem

First, Tony Yayo clarified the origins of his feuds with 50 Cent and Eminem:

• On 50, he feels financial disputes were exaggerated but communication broke down. Yayo was promised a VP position in G-Unit that never materialized.
• With Eminem, Yayo believes Jimmy Iovine pitted them against each other. But he now understands Em’s perspective better.
• Overall, Yayo attributes issues to being young, hot-headed, and greedy. He now values what they accomplished together.

While the tensions were serious at the time, Yayo seems to have made peace looking back.

Chapter 2: The Infamous Jimmy Iovine Incident

One infamous story Yayo told involves an altercation with Interscope CEO Jimmy Iovine:

• Yayo resented Iovine underpaying and mistreating him.
• When they ran into each other at a nightclub, Yayo confronted Iovine and places his hand around his neck in anger.
• The incident caused more rifts with Eminem’s camp but Yayo stands by his actions: “I’d do it again!”

Leave it to Tony Yayo to have zero regrets about putting hands on one of music’s most powerful executives.

Chapter 3: Kidnapping and Ending Lil Zane’s Career

Along with the controversies, Tony Yayo shared wild tales from the G-Unit era:

• Yayo claims he kidnapped rapper Lil Zane over a financial dispute, driving recklessly before Zane agreed to pay up.
• He also believes he ended Zane’s career by refusing to remove a G-Unit diss track. “I killed his f****** career!”
• Yayo has no qualms telling these stories now, citing G-Unit’s ability to end careers if they felt disrespected.

Only Tony Yayo could share a story about kidnapping a rapper and show no remorse. But that ruthless mentality defined G-Unit’s uncompromising approach.

Chapter 4: Reality Show Gone Wrong

Finally, the most ridiculous story involved 50 Cent and Tony Yayo losing their minds filming a reality show:

• Yayo explains how 50 grew frustrated with fake scenarios and scripts.
• Eventually, 50 and Yayo started destroying the set and wrecking luxury cars used as props.
• The two disappeared for days before agreeing to pay damages to end their reality TV career.

Again, Yayo tells these tales proudly exemplifying his refusal to be compromised or controlled.
