Styles P says The Notorious B.I.G. said he wanted to squash the beef between The LOX and Diddy on the night that he died. The rapper recalled Biggie’s intentions during an interview with The Art of Dialogue published on Friday.
“We literally had just left — we was going somewhere else, and then, just heard it was shots,” he said. “That was just really fuckin’ crazy, like, you know what I’m sayin’? And we were just finished talkin’ to him about — we was having some kind of rift with Puff, and he was basically kind of just, like, trying to guide us through it … telling us, chill out, you know? He’s gonna hold it down when he get back.”

He continued: “That shit was devastating. That was our big bro. He was really cool. That’s why we made ‘We’ll Always Love Big Poppa.’ We held him in a very high regard.” In the immediate wake of Biggie’s death, the feud between The LOX and Diddy only grew worse. As The LOX wanted out of their deal with Bad Boy Records, they began a “Free The LOX” campaign. Eventually, Styles P even threw a chair at Diddy during a meeting at the company’s offices.
Styles P previously reflected on that incident during an interview with HipHopDX in 2020. “The moment with tossing the chair at Puff was a combination of being really fucking stupid and really fucking angry,” he revealed. “I think for me, Big was always the barrier, and the mediator, and the middle person. He was always able to make things make sense to me. So I think when Big passed, it was just kind of really hard for me to deal with it and see certain things.” He added: “We don’t regret anything at all. It was like us saying you want some of this old man.” Check out Styles P’s latest comments on the death of The Notorious B.I.G. below.
