Common dished on how Fat Joe saved him during his beef with Mack 10 and Ice Cube during his recent appearance on Ebro In The Morning.
The rapper, actor, and activist reminisced about his 90’s beef with Ice Cube, who believed that Common was taking shots at West Coast rappers on his 1994 track, “I Used To Love H.E.R.” Cube fired back during his verse on Mack 10’s “Westside Slaughterhouse.”
Common bumped into Mack 10 in Los Angeles after the war of words while filming a Sprite commercial. By that time, the beef was squashed. However, it was reignited when a friend of Common’s stopped by the set and began eyeing Mack, who was also in the commercial. The two then exchanged words before a friend of Mack’s went to retrieve a weapon. At that point, Fat Joe, who was also in the commercial, told Common that his friend was escalating the situation and that he “gotta go.”
“He can’t stay. And it’s about to get real in here,” Common recounted Joe saying at the time.
Common’s friend got into a scuffle with Mack 10 and his posse before exiting for good. Fat Joe then convinced Mack not to target Common. It appeared that their beef ended on the set.
He and Ice Cube, on the other hand, hashed out their issues in 1997 at the Nation Of Islam headquarters in Chicago. The two became friends, working together on the film “Barbershop: The Next Cut.”
