Royce da 5’9″ talks about Eminem & Nick Cannon beef on The Breakfast Club.
Royce da 5’9″ who recently released his new album ‘The Allegory‘, made a visit to The Breakfast Club for a new interview where he talks about, among other things, Eminem beef with Nick Cannon and how Nick took it way more personally. As Royce mentions on the record that he doesn’t want Em to respond to every diss directed at him, he revealed why he feels that way by giving his take of Marshall’s resurrected beef with Nick Cannon.
“Sometimes I feel like it’s a distraction more so than it is just healthy rapping,” Nick said at 18:30 point of the interview. “The second that I see that Nick Cannon seemed really really offended, to me that’s when it should stop, because I know there’s no malice coming from Marshall’s end. I mean it’s not personal coming from his end, the second he starts to look super offended like that I feel like either they should talk or everything should just stop.”

Royce continues talking about the beef which was reignited last year after Em took some shots at Nick on Fat Joe’s ‘Lord Above‘, which prompted Cannon to drop three diss tracks. “A man running around trying to just disrespect people wives and shit like that it well it’s not really that type of thing,” explained Royce, “I think that the line on the Fat Joe record came from just Nick running around talking about you know like he was gonna be coming to Detroit and beat up Marshall and all of that I think Marshall just got tired of him doing that so he sent him a line on some hip-hop shit but I think Nick took it way more personal than he was taking shit before, he a little older now, I mean perspective change is even more grown now. Once that happens and people look genuinely offended it stops feeling like a fun situation to me.”
Nick Cannon uncovered old abandoned Eminem songs to prove that Em is a racist, which seemed more like desperate attempts to undermine a musician than shocking revelations, according to Charlemagne. Royce concurred: “It looks bad. It looks bad when you’re trying to ruin somebody. It does something to your credibility and I wish Nick wouldn’t put himself in that position because we are who we were, we are who we was before we got here. If that’s what Marshall was it would have shown by now. My credibility is everything to me, my integrity means everything to me. I’m not standing next to nothing that I’m not sure about. I’ve never done anything for anybody to question my credibility. So if I’m standing by it, it’s for a reason. I’m not standing by no shit that’s disruptive to my people. Nothing is more important than that to me. So if I’m still standing next to this man it’s because I feel confident in that.”
