Back in 2009, after dropping their hit song “You’re a Jerk” AceShowbiz – Ben J and Legacy from New Boyz were at the forefront of the hip-hop industry. By working later with the likes of Chris Brown, Ray J, Teairra Mari, Dev, Hot Chelle Rae and YG, the pair continued their popularity, but the group did not survive long because they could not manage to work behind the scenes despite their personal differences.
Ben spoke about whether or not he will be reunited with his former collaborator in a recent interview with VladTV. “That n***a Legacy ain’t f**kin’ wit me,” said Ben J. “I can’t get him to be apart of the group, I don’t know how you gon’ get him here to do this interview.”
He then spoke about how Tinashe, whom he was dating at the time, apparently dominated him. We couldn’t get Legacy to do the ‘It’s So Random’ Disney. He skipped it when he pretended he had a stomach bug f***. Food poisoning. That was just some bullsh**t because Tinashe told him, ‘That’s childish s**t. Don’t do that. Don’t do that,”We couldn’t get Legacy to do the Disney ‘That’s So Random’. He missed that ’cause he pretended like he had a f***ing stomach virus. Food poisoning. That was just some bullsh**t because Tinashe told him, ‘That s**t is childish. Don’t do that. Don’t do this,’ “Don’t do that.
In addition, Ben J made it clear that he was not a follower of Tinashe. He added, “He wanted to stay with Tinashe and work on her career,” “Legacy is a big part of why Tinashe is who she is. He produced her whole first project, shot all her videos, but she gave him no credit. I’m like, bruh, that’s foul. Why you leave your group for this bum a** b***h. How you let this bum a** b*tch get famous off you? You crazy, bruh.”
He contrasted the conditions with Trippie Redd later in the conversation, adding that women use the Ohio rapper to make themselves popular. “That’s how these b****es is,”That is how those b*****es are.
He also spoke about how Nick Cannon confronted the New Boyz at some stage, but Legacy “went in separate way” and that was why the possibilities were lost.
