Juvenile is finally addressing the drama surrounding Turkās unexpected departure from the Cash Money 30th anniversary tour, and heās making it clear his support for his fellow Hot Boys member has not changed.
TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the New Orleans legend, who admitted he was just as surprised as fans when Turk was removed from the tour lineup. According to Juvenile, the decision came from higher up the chain and was out of his hands.
āItās kind of like out of my control, that one there,ā Juvenile explained. āThe people that pay us, the higher ups, kindāve made a decision. It kind of put me in an awkward position ācause Iām the one that fought for my guy to be on the tour.ā
Juvenile kept it positive while expressing his confusion.
āI hate for negative things to happen. Iām one of those positive guys, I like things to stay positive,ā he added. āI donāt even really know what his contract [or] his business was on it, I donāt know how it went. I was confused just like you, man.ā
The shakeup appears to be tied to growing tension between Turk and fellow Hot Boys member B.G. That tension spilled over publicly during the groupās reunion last year, when B.G. let his feelings be known on stage.
āItās only one nia aināt in this bih, ya heard me? He brought that on hisself, ya heard me?ā B.G. said. āNia did a bunch of ho sh*t and canāt take it back. He gotta fault his self for not being here⦠The nia know what he did last summer. And Iāma just leave it like that.ā
Turk didnāt hold back either, responding with a fiery message of his own.
āYou nias want that sh*t to come together ācause you nias fked up outchea. I aināt fked up outchea. Iām blessed and highly favored by God. Yāall got me fked up,ā Turk said in a video posted on socials. āIāll say fk a Hot Boys tour, ni**a.
āDisrespect wonāt be tolerated⦠Aināt no Big Iās or Lil Uās over me, mane. B.G. better sit his muthaf**king a down somewhere,ā he added, making it clear heās not falling in line behind anyone.
As fans continue to react to the fallout, Juvenileās stance remains rooted in loyalty and a desire to keep things peaceful. But with emotions flaring and egos involved, the future of any full Hot Boys reunion remains up in the air.
