Many viewers gave the W to The LOX on the night, thanks in part to a standout performance from Jadakiss, and Juelz couldn’t even deny the group’s undeniable chemistry.
“My take on that night is [The LOX] are a better group than us because they are a group [The Diplomats] is not a group,” Juelz said in an interview with Drink Champs. “We are individual artists that came together as a collective to form what we formed, which is called Dipset.”
He continued: “They came in this game as LOX, they perform as a group. Me and Cam have great records together, but we don’t have those back-to-back records like Styles P and Jadakiss.”
Meanwhile, Juelz Santana has said he isn’t done with Verzuz, recently calling on Lloyd Banks to step into the ring. Fellow Roc-a-Fella rapper Memphis Bleek had also demanded Juelz go against him, but the latter said the former wasn’t up to his standards.
“I WANT BANKS!!! #OffPappers #BackOutSide,” Juelz tweeted in June. “Bleek to EZ.”
Bleek reignited talk of a potential matchup with the Dipset rapper last month, firing a warning shot at his former labelmate during a live show.
“Somebody tell that n-gga Juelz he better be fucking ready for this shit, you know what I mean,” Bleek said before taking a jab at Juelz for using a backing track during his Verzuz battle with The LOX. “This shit real, n-gga. I don’t need no lyrics.”
