INTERVIEW: DJ Mustard Explains How He And YG Squashed Their Beef

DJ Mustard Explains How He And YG Squashed Their Beef

DJ Mustard on his brief beef with YG: "We exchanged words, but we brothers."

Last week, we were shocked to see YG and DJ Mustard, the bread and butter of L.A.'s rap scene last year, engaging in some light beef on social media. It didn't last long, as Mustard quickly cleared the air with a post that proclaimed "Jokes on yall dick heads !!!!" and showed him and his lyrical ally back together. Now, Mustard has spoken to MTV about the short-lived incident, and revealed that his anger would've been better directed at Def Jam, who were apparently taking their time with paying him.

When asked if the beef stemmed from him not being paid for his work on My Krazy Life, Mustard responded:

"That was a miscommunication. It was more so some, 'Def Jam needs to start paying me faster,' that what I really was on. I wasn't on no like, 'I never got paid,' or anything like that. With me and him, it's not about the money, 'cause I can call him and tell him to loan me $100,000 and he'll do it."

BEEF: YG & DJ Mustard Are Dissing Each Other On Instagram

YG & DJ Mustard Are Dissing Each Other On Instagram

YG and DJ Mustard are beefing on Instagram.

YG and DJ Mustard proved they were an unstoppable team with the former's debut album, My Krazy Life, but many great creative partnerships end ugly, and things may be going that way for these two judging by their recent Instagram quarrel.

While it's not entirely clear how things got started, the first (now deleted) post found Mustard addressing fans, requesting people stop asking him about "that YG shit", and then accusing the rapper of not paying him for work on My Krazy Life. YG retaliated with claims that he was never paid for Mustard's album or his iconic "Mustard On The Beat, Hoe" drop.

The two then decided they weren't for "this internet shit", seemingly making plans to meet up and settle things, the last post being a screencap of YG's call log, claiming Mustard wasn't picking up his phone.

We'll keep you posted on what's going down. Check out all the posts so far below.

Game, Tyga & DJ Mustard Take Part In "Millions March Los Angeles"

Game, Tyga, and DJ Mustard marched against police brutality in Los Angeles today.

Following the growing number of incidents in which police have killed unarmed black men in the U.S. this year, protesters have gathered nationwide to fight for change. The "Millions March" in New York a couple of weeks back collected a massive turnout, and now other cities are following suit.

While we saw Nas and Russell Simmons among the protesters in New York, L.A.'s march today also drew in some rap icons. Game, DJ Mustard, and Tyga joined the thousands who gathered to stand in unison for Eric Garner, Mike Brown, and the many others who's deaths have gone without consequence.

Check out some photos from the march below.

Together we stand ! @kinggoldchains @losangelesconfidential !!! LA ....

NEWS: YG Says His Mom's A Crip, Covers "The Source" With Ty Dolla $ign & DJ Mustard

YG Says His Mom's A Crip, Covers "The Source" With Ty Dolla $ign & DJ Mustard

YG, DJ Mustard, and Ty Dolla $ign score the cover story in this month's Source.

2014 hip hop wouldn't have been the same without Pushaz Ink -- the crew made up of DJ Mustard, YG, and Ty Dolla $ign. All three of the artists manage to infiltrate the radio, and influence those around them, and they always sounded best when they were working togethger.

Of course, their reign is only just beginning, and they'll be giving us the scoop on their plans to build an empire in the newest issue of The Source, which they've scored the cover of. So far, we only have a few quotes from the interview, which range from music, to loss, to hilarity. 

You can check out a preview of the story below.

YG on putting aside gang affiliations:

My momma Crip, she from a Crip neighborhood... I’m the reason why we got Blood n--gas and we got Crip n--gas in one click–that’s me.

Ty Dolla $ign on changing his ways:

I used to produce with this other dude named G Casso, and when he died that fucked me up. He got killed. He got killed and it fucked me up to where I didn’t even feel like making beats like that, you know, that was another reason why I slowed down.

DJ Mustard on his work ethic:

That’s what a lot of people don’t understand, like, this is more than producing... they don’t understand that this is a full-time job. It’s not like I’m just making a beat and Big Sean happens to stumble into the studio. It’s not like that.” [...] “People take it lightly. You gotta grind for what you want and really take it to the next level–it’s a different era. It’s really just [about] changing the sound up, not staying the same.

Alleged Childhood Friend Of DJ Mustard Sues Him Over Lack Of Producer Credit

Once you start getting a bit of a success and fame, the lawsuits start piling in. DJ Mustard is starting to reach that stage in his career, with a new lawsuit claiming he ripped off ideas from a friend by the name of Mike Free.

Mike Free claims to be a childhood friend of Mustard in his new lawsuit, and states that he wrote, composed and produced the song that became the launching pad for Mustard's career-- Tyga's "Rack City." However, he says he never got his deserved credit for it. This wasn't a one-off song, Mike Free says he and Mustard agreed to share composer and producer credits, as Free had all the ideas and Mustard had the necessary connections in the industry. Free says he had ideas for several other big Mustard tracks-- "Don't Tell Em" by Jeremih, 2 Chainz's "I'm Different," Big Sean's "IDFWU," and more.

He wants royalties from all those songs, plus proper production credits.
