Tony Yayo Claims G-Unit Did More For Uncle Murda’s Career Than Jay-Z

“Jay-Z ain’t treating you like this.”

Uncle Murda has spent time working with a company run by Jay-Z and a company run by 50 Cent. According to Tony Yayo, his G-Unit squad did a better job elevating Uncle Murda than Jay’s Roc-A-Fella Records.

Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda sat down for an interview with 50 Cent’s ThisIs50 outlet. The conversation included the two NYC rappers reflecting on Jay-Z’s involvement in Murda’s career.

“That’s why I respect [Uncle Murda] because we had more of an assist. We had 50 Cent, so I knew I was okay. He sold 11 million records. I’m gonna get a percentage of his fans. I’m good,” said Tony Yayo.

The Thoughts of a Predicate Felon album creator continued, “[Uncle Murda] had to kind of more do it on his own. And he had deals with Jay-Z… I always tell him all the time, Jay-Z ain’t treating you like this, n####.”

Uncle Murda signed with Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records/Def Jam Records in 2007. The New York City-based company also once served as the label for Kanye West, Cam’ron, Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Jadakiss, Teairra Marí, and other acts.

After parting ways with the Roc and Def Jam, Uncle Murda later aligned himself with 50 Cent’s G-Unit label. The “Get The Strap” rhymer mentioned how his association with G-Unit apparently allowed him to party with A-list celebrities such as the Kardashians and Serena Williams.

However, Uncle Murda also shouted out Jay-Z during the ThisIs50 discussion. The yearly “Rap Up” spitter acknowledged Jay for helping him earn his first six-figure payment. Tony Yayo then made sure that his comments were not a complete burial of the current Roc Nation boss.

“I’m quite sure Hov and a lot of artists – they treat some of their artists maybe good, maybe not. I’m just telling you how we get treated. I don’t know. Jay-Z never had him in the Armani Hotel [in Dubai, United Arab Emirates].”

While Tony Yayo questioned Jay-Z’s support for Uncle Murda, the G-Unit crew has not always been on the same page. 50 used his Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter book to lay out how he sometimes clashed with G-Unit artists Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks.
