Wu-Tang's farewell tour kicked off last month, and it's not without drama, specifically with the openers Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. The '90s rap legends have been taking the stage without Layzie Bone and Bizzy Bone, and both addressed the situation in new videos.
On Instagram over the weekend, Layzie Bone said he'd been "left in the dark." He began by paying respect to Wu-Tang and Live Nation before explaining that he'd been getting DMs of fans "cussing me out" and blaming him for his absence on the tour. "It was no call of mine for me not to be there," he said, but added that he "had some issues with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony earlier this year."
"I wasn't on some shows, and people who went to the shows earlier saw that I wasn't there," he continued. "But I thought and my understanding was after the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, everything was all good. It was another reason after another reason, which I’m going to let them answer."
Krayzie Bone posted videos to Instagram today. He said it was a personal matter that should've been kept between them, but he was responding since Layzie Bone made it public. "We had an agreement with you. We told you if you go to rehab, while you're still in rehab, we will still pay you while you're getting yourself together. We told you that. You refused," he said. "So no, we didn't just leave you out in the cold. We told you what it was. And we told you that we still had your money waiting for you."
Meanwhile Bizzy Bone posted a lengthy YouTube video saying that by the time he heard about the Wu-Tang tour, "everything was signed, sealed, and delivered." "But I'm still rooting them on," he said, encouraging fans to support them. He also responded to hate he received from a Facebook group: "One of 'em said, it's crazy, it said, 'I hope Bizzy Bone go broke, so he can come back, crawling on his hands and his knees,'" he said. "Hey, first and foremost, I ain't gonna never go broke. What is you talking about?"
"I'm still getting money off the music that y'all listening to, whether you like me or not," he added. "You can fast-forward my part. I'm still getting the money, so it really don't matter. So, you can hate me all you want. God bless you. God bless your heart... I'm still eating, I'm still getting paid."
