It was just as the new wave that was coming up, you know people like to make comparison, put people against each other and that type of sh*t. I guess after that it just became little petty sh*t like disrespect, this and that, mentioning the other’s name when you really shouldn’t… It’s like tension and friction but it’s not really based on anything real,” said Nasty C .The two had instead innated other people’s protrusion of a beef because of being compared. This may be true as Nasty C did not comment to Sammie Heavens’ video dancing at A-Reece’s show.
