After the bizarre beef between Snoop Dogg and Iggy Azalea, the Aussie rapper's mentor, T.I., stepped in and rumors were squashed. Many began to wonder just what was said to make Snoop wave the white flag and now Tip is opening up the apology, which he says he had nothing to do with.
"I just got off the phone with my homeboy Tip, the king of Atlanta, and it's officially over," Snoop said in a clip posted to Instagram. "No more bad talk. I apologize. Yeah, I apologize. I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
Tip recently explained how things went down in an interview with Vibe.
"There was no getting him to squash anything," he said. "Me and Snoop got our own relationship. I reached out and as soon as I called him, the conversation ... I didn't even have to say nothing. He was like 'Man, I know what you calling for' (both laugh). My bad, it went too far.' And a lot of people still don't know I'm involved [with Iggy's work]. I'm not plastered all over Iggy's everything. Neither am I for B.o.B., neither am I for Travis Scott or Trae tha Truth. My artists exist on their own because they have their own notoriety. They have their own hold on their parts of the game and they got their own lanes. They don't really need me [for anything] except for guidance. I'm behind the scenes for the most part until they need me to help them sell something."
He went on to say that Snoop's decision to make a public apology was his own doing.
"Yeah, we didn't even talk about it," T.I. said. "There was no extreme, extensive, elaborate convo. It was like 'Wassup big dog?' and he was like 'On the strength of us, that's dead. Don't even worry about it, it'll never happen again.' And the whole recording, apologizing came from him. That was out the goodness and the kindness of his heart. We didn't discuss that, I didn't ask that, he just did that on his own. That had nothing to do with me."
