And if u have some time and energy this is the full story:
Check this out. I'm about to speak on everything that happened for all y'all that have been reading this shit, or slander, on the internet. This is Catalyst. I'm part of O-Dot. I'm gonna run this shit down from the top. First of all, we had a show to do in New York. We do the show, we're at the hotel, we're chilling. We get up in the morning, we start getting these threatening phone calls and shit. We don't know who's doing the shit. We look out the window. We see Cage and Camu. We see two cars deep full of motherfuckers outside waiting for us so we know some shit is on. We come outside, knowing some shit is about to go down. These dudes walk up talking shit. They're not talking shit to O-Dot, they're talking shit to Pete. They don't know me. I doubt they know King-Dom. Words are exchanged, n*ggas are going back and forth and shit. Me, for instance, I don't know what the fuck is going on. I don't know the history on none of this shit. The idea they come up with is to let Camu and Copy fight the fair one real quick. So after words is exchanged, tensions are building. Camu throws a punch. Pete throws a punch. Basically it's a bunch of wrestling. It's not even no real fight shit. It's just a bunch of tugging and grabbing. We fall back and we let that shit happen. Wasn't nobody running, wasn't nobody hiding. I heard shit like n*ggas was hiding. Camu got bloodied up. Pete got some scratches and shit. It's a one-sided thing. All y'all are seeing right now are some pictures of Pete with some scratches and shit. Not even bruises. Not even welts. None of that shit. Y'all are seeing one side of the shit. And that's how that shit went down. And Brian, feel free to ask me some questions about it.
They just tracked us down. I don't know how they tracked us down or whatever. Basically they're trying to slander Copy's name right now. It's not even like that. Copy didn't get his ass whooped like that. Those are scratches. Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't even see Camu land a hit on dude. Those scratches must be from being hugged up on some rugburn shit. But for real, if they wanted to take pictures, they should have taken some pictures of Camu because this dude's shit was drenched in blood. The shit you're seeing on the internet that says "Copy's Blood" or whatever, that's not copy's blood. That's Camu's blood. Copy never shed any blood whatsoever. It was just a fair fight like that. I've heard some shit that we were hiding behind dumpsters and shit. That shit isn't true. If we were hiding behind dumpsters, don't you think they would have taken pictures of that shit? No! That's not how it went down. Basically that's the whole story on the fight. But on who won the fight, that doesn't matter. Copy could have got his ass stomped out or whatever. The real thing to talk about is why that shit even happened in the first place. That shit was obviously planned. These dudes, before the fight happened, obviously had it planned to work Copy up a little bit to the point of where he's looking a little fucked up and then take his picture and put it on the internet to drag his name through the mud. I see what they're doing. There's little shit that's being put out that's being exaggerated and shit, like his finger was broken. That's a band-aid on his finger from something that happened earlier in the day. You think he had time to run up in the hotel and bandage his finger up? No. It was a fair fight, wasn't nobody running or no shit like that.
Wasn't Copywrite wearing brass knuckles?
Copywrite was wearing brass knuckles. But even in that situation, that's still a fair fight because when you look at it, they had 8 people, dudes have metal batons, motherfuckers talking about they got heat…so fuck it, he brought out the brass knuckles and did his thing and let him have it.
But if it's just Copy and Camu going one-on-one, and Camu doesn't have brass knuckles, isn't it unfair that Copy brings out the brass knuckles?
That's true. I could see how you would say that. But shit could have been a lot worse for us. I'm glad he did use the brass knuckles to do his thing and try to inflict what damage he could. But seeing as to how outnumbered we were and the weapons they had and shit, that could have went down a lot worse for us. Ain't none of us get hurt or jump in the fight, just like their people. We just let them go at it.
Who do you think instigated this?
Definitely the instigation was on the side of the Weathermen. It was a joint thing with Cage and Camu. Their boys just played the side while they amped that up.
Didn't Copy used to rhyme with them?
See, that's the thing. When they stepped to us they were saying all kinds of secrets. I don't even know the background behind that shit or what happened to bring that shit to a head. We just let that shit go.
What do you think is going to happen next?
As far as me, I'm just a rapper. I'm not with all this beef shit. I don't know Cage and Camu like that. As far as me, and as far as O-Dot period, after the fight happened we thought the shit was deaded. We didn't even know people was taking pictures or that it would hit the internet. I don't know. We wasn't really even sweating it. I don't know if they are. We're not.
Is there going to be a song?
I have no plans on it.
Do you know what Copy's stance is?
I have no idea. I haven't even talked to him since it happened.
His phone's off, he's not online…
He's probably sick of hearing this shit. I'm the new member of the squad and I'm getting hit up like crazy. I know Copy's shit is just blowing the fuck through the roof because he's sick of hearing about this bullshit.
Do you think these pictures will hurt Copy's image?
That's why I'm talking to you right now to tell you that these are one-sided pictures. His ass didn't get handed to him as people are saying. If y'all really wanted to show an accurate portrayal of Camu's bloody face. Not even talking shit, but that's what went down. Y'all know that's what went down. He was hurt worse than Copy.
So Camu got the worst of the fight?
I think he did, honestly.
If you're the judge, who wins?
Honestly, it was like neck-and-neck. The fight wasn't serious like that. No one even got hurt badly like that for real. Camu was the one who shed blood. Copy wasn't the one that shed blood.
What about the guns?
A dude was talking about heat but once the fight got started it didn't look like anyone was going to get anything. The fight was pretty much over before it started. It didn't last long. The cops showed up, they broke everything up, they interrogated us. We had to put our hands on the car…
Any charges being pressed?
No. They asked us, but nah. It ain't that serious. And that's the main point. It's not that serious.
What about El-P, was he there?
No, El-P wasn't there.
Anything else you want to say?
I just want everybody to think about why the shit went down. The physical aspects of this confrontation isn't even important. What you need to ask yourself is why did they even start something like this. It was obviously something premeditated to slander Copy's name. Let me tell you this. I talked to Jakki earlier. One of the reasons Camu was trying to justify a fight was Copy was talking to Jakki and Jakki told Camu that Pete was saying some foul shit about Camu or some kind of crazy shit. Whatever he was saying, he said he got it from Jakki. I talked to Jakki today. He said he hasn't talked to Camu in a year. So with that being said, Camu is making up some shit just to start a fight so he could put this shit on the internet.
Why?
This is just going to further the beef with my response, but let me be honest with you. It's jealously. We all know he's talking to majors and he has a strong team behind him right now trying to get him to the forefront and these dudes aren't doing that. Copy's not in the Whethermen right now so he can't help them further their careers. So if they're not a part of what he's doing they want to bring what he's doing down. I really should get you to talk to Jakki because he will tell you some shit to let you know what kind of people these dudes really are, so you can understand why they did this and what their goal is.
