A recent interview with rapper Mack 10, whose real name is Dedrick D’Mon Rolison, shined a light on the strained relationship between him and his former group mate Ice Cube. The March 9 interview with Bootleg Kev revealed that Mack 10 hasn’t spoken to the other Westside Connection rapper in nearly 20 years after being asked about a potential reunion for the group.
“I f*** with who f*** with me, you dig? That’s where I’m at with it. If you f*** with me, I f*** with you. But if it’s f*** me, it’s f*** you,” Mack expressed simply after being asked about Westside Connection coming together in the future, “I ain’t seen him or talked to him in d*** near 20 years, so there it is.”
When host Bootleg Kev pointed out the fact that the group has a slew of classics with each other, Mack just doubled down on his sentiment on who he decided to hang out with in his life.
“It ain’t never been me, you know, with the hold-up,” he cleared up, “It ain’t never been my personality or who I am with the hold-up of us doing something… But I f*** with who f*** with me; it is what it is.”
Mack 10’s sentiment also extends to listening to Ice Cube’s music. The rapper admitted that he hadn’t listened to Cube’s more recent group Mount Westmore, consisting of him, Snoop Dogg, Too Short, and E-40, either. “Not really,” Mack said, “I mean, I’ve heard bits and pieces of it, but not really. Westside Connection was a movement. It was a little different.”
As reported by TMZ, the supergroup Westside Connection – Mack 10, WC and Ice Cube – split in 2005 after Mack 10 and Ice Cube had a falling out that resulted in the group’s split.
