Posted September 18, 2007 -- Is the latest beef ito hit the music world between crooner Lyfe Jennings and Atlanta rapper Yung Joc? Not really, Lyfe tells BET.com
"I don't have beef with dude. It's just a disgreement," Lyfe tells BET.com about the friction between himself and the newly-buff Bad Boy rapper.
According to Lyfe, things kicked off when he invited one of Joc's DJs to his house to check out songs from his upcoming album, Change. Though Lyfe isn't pointing any fingers, he admits he finds it oddly coincidental that a song on Joc's latest album, Hustlenomics, bears a striking resemblance to one of the tunes he played that day.
"He [the DJ] listened to my album and heard my song, 'Brand New.' All of a sudden, Yung Joc got a song called 'Brand New,' he explains. In addition to sharing the same title, Lyfe says that both songs more or less deal with the same topic--how stardom can sometimes make people change.
While he's not exactly happy with the "coincidence," Lyfe admits that he's attempted to talk things out face-to-face. "Let me just say he was somewhere and then I was there too 'cuz I heard he was there, but dude didn't really wanna holla," he says. "But when I see the guy, I'ma get it worked out."
Lyfe says that fans need not worry about things getting out of hand between the two, however. He just wants to settle things peacefully. "I want people saying positive things about me. I don't want my biggest celebrity to be about beef," he says. "You gonna know I've got beef when I really got beef."
