Royce Da 5'9 On J-Hood, "He Might Want To Shut His F*cking Mouth"

While claiming he would take the higher route and ignore a rap beef, the Detroit-based emcee explained why Hood may be given a pass.

"We're not going to respond to him because he's a bum...just like Ransom," Royce said in an interview. "He might want to shut his f*cking mouth. Detroit n*ggas don't play that sh*t. I'm all for the battle rapping, but when you get to talking about what you're going to do...I don't want to f*cking hear that...I move around New York how I feel. That n*gga can't step a f*cking pinky toe in Detroit...He can say what he wanna say, but if he brings that sh*t anywhere near my circumference, I'ma take his f*cking head off." (XXLMag)

Aside from calling out the entire Slaughterhouse, Hood recently blamed Royce for sparking their rap beef.

"We gonna talk about this ugly n*gga again," Hood said in an interview. "No homo but them n*ggas is some ugly n*ggas...The n*gga Royce really started that sh*t. That n*gga did a little song and all that and he said some sh*t like 'I'm the one really though/You just a J-Hood gun video.' He said that sh*t then he tried to back it up with 'Oh that's not a diss.' But if it ain't a diss, how do you mean it though? You a J-Hood gun video? What are you really trying to say? It's just a video and n*ggas ain't really poppin' off? That's how I'm taking it, I'm a n*gga from the hood. He said it ain't a diss, but I did what anybody else would do and threw a line back on the joint." (Hip Hop Beef)

Earlier this month, Hood addressed the rap group and labeled them snitches due to their association with Joe Budden.

"N*ggas thought I wasn't gon' say nothing, like I wasn't gonna address it," Hood said in an interview. "F*ggot a** H*e Buddens, Joyce Da 5'9 and motherf*cking, what's that n*gga's name? Slanted I, Crooked I, whatever the f*ck your name is my n*gga. Y'all n*ggas are a** my n*gga. Y'all n*ggas are rolling with a n*gga that got a n*gga locked up, got the homie Ransom locked up after he went to your homie's house and smacked the sh*t outta him, he ain't smack the sh*t outta him, his man smacked the sh*t outta him. Next couple days after that the n*gga was locked up. I don't want no beef with y'all n*ggas, you getting n*ggas locked up. Plus y'all n*ggas is 30 plus my n*gga. Old head a** n*ggas."

Budden responded to fans regarding the rapper via Twitter shortly after Hood's video began to spread online.

"HOLY PIGFEET & PORKCHOPS BATMAN," he wrote. "..noticed some loser made a vlog dissin slaughterhouse, would luv 2 respond but wont..we need better foes ! this gets better by the second...dude that dissed us got raped ? when he was 12 ? by his father ??? somebody tell'em quit while he's behind."
