In an upcoming interview for HipHopDX with Dr. Dre's former right hand man for over a decade, Bruce Williams, it was revealed that Rev Al Sharpton gave Dr. Dre and his Aftermath camp an ultimatum - Half a million to squash the 50 Cent/Game beef or they would march.
"He said if we didn’t have a million, we marching. It’s that easy," Williams stated exclusively to HipHopDX. He also makes mention of the situation in his recently released book "Rollin With Dre."
"We got a lot of black leaders that don’t do shit to me. I don’t see what they do," he continues. "In the (Game/50) situation (Sharpton and company) are going to come and say 'we need X amount of money', whether you are going to give it to charity or not? Why don’t you come and say 'hey, let’s all of us sit down and figure this out?' Don’t come and say 'give me a half a million dollars or we marching!' That didn’t even get the situation resolved. You seen it. They didn’t even look like they squashed anything."
Williams accuses Sharpton of "orchestrating" the press conference held to squash the beef and states that "so-called" activists do this "all of the time."
"Look at C Delores Tucker back in the day," Williams said. "They was sitting up there talking all that bullshit when behind closed doors they was trying to start their own label. But that isn’t what they were telling motherfuckers in the street!"
