Paul and Juicy were the business people of the label I was on,” Crunchy explained before detailing that they would be consistently flying back and forth between L.A. and New York while booking high-end hotels. “They would make me put my own incidentals and all kinds of other slick shit they was doing at the time. And I couldn’t figure out why they was doing me like that.”
“It’s a lot of shit that kind of knocked me and made me feel some type of way. If I beat a n***a up for you, Vlad. C’mon, you can’t look out for me?” He continued. “I felt like they was doing a lot of sh*t that I didn’t feel like was cool at the time but like I said, could’ve just been me, Vlad… I could’ve talked it out. Me and Paul was real cool. I could’ve pulled Paul to the side and talked to him about it. But I didn’t do that. I did what a lot of people do. Let they mind take control.”
