AllHipHop.com: How do you feel about the beef popping off between 50 and Cam?
Duke: Actually, I’m going to be honest with you, I didn’t really want it to go down like that. ‘Cause we never really knew them like that, we never did business we never gave five’s to them n***as or none of that, it was just n***as you hear and see on the TV. So it was cool they were reaching out to us on other people, so when that happened it was kind of quick and swift. But right now it’s just Cam and 50 and they don’t really know each other so it’s nothing really to me honestly, but it’s Hip-Hop: you gotta see who is the biggest, the baddest - it’s competition but right now its just Cam and 50 and hopefully it just stays just them two, it ain’t got to spread out of control, that’s it- mano a mano.
AllHipHop.com: It was interesting that 50 had just given props to JR and Jimmy when he was talking to Angie…
Duke: But like Cam said, he didn’t hear 50 Cent he couldn’t really hear him but he said he heard him talking to Styles and he wouldn’t have him talking to him like that, so to me I look at it like a misunderstanding, I do, to that degree. I’m just looking at is as far as they don’t know each other, like it ain’t like going back like our beef with Jay-Z, we have something there. But [G-Unit], they not on our block, we not signed to their label, they not in our way, so there’s no problems.
AllHipHop.com: But they’re in your way when 50 starts saying “Koch is a graveyard”, right?
Duke: Yeah, stuff like that, everybody got they personal opinions, I don’t care. But like I said, Cam held it down, Cam held Koch down, so it’s all good. But like I said I just hope it stay Cam and 50, and Cam prevail at the end you nahmean? [laughs] I just hope it be like that. Because I done seen how that whole D Block and G Unit s**t went and that s**t got boring, that s**t is boring for Hip-Hop and we want to get New York back to where it used to be at, and right now we number one that’s why everybody coming at us, it’s crazy how we got everybody coming at us.
AllHipHop.com: One of the things that 50 gets at Cam is by saying Jimmy is the boss now, in a way that’s trying to create internal beef, and Cam has addressed that in his response but would you say that is there any truth to that?
Duke: Nah, Cam is the boss, Jim is second in charge and that’s how it go down, you know what I mean? None of that stuff is true, it’s just like the rumors that 50 Cent don’t f**k with Banks, you hear those rumors too but you don’t really know but as far as the Diplomats, it’s obvious Cam is the boss Jimmy is the Capo, and Juelz Santana is the underboss.
