Yesterday, rapper young Jeezy responded to the speculation among rap fans that he dissed his label mate, Rick Ross, in a scathing track off his latest mixtape.

Jeezy dropped “Death B4 Dishonor” (B.M.F. Remix) on Monday, sending the Internets atwitter with rumors about a rap beef. But in an exclusive inteview with MTV.com, Jeezy says it wasn’t a diss.

“It’s not a dis,” Jizzle told MTV News via phone from ATL. “First of all, I’m not gonna get nothing out of dissing that guy. That’s one. What am I gonna get out of dissing him?

Meanwhile, both Jeezy and Rick Ross have now dropped the name of the South’s preeminent club owner, Alex Gidewon of AG Entertainment Group, in their raps.


Ross, who has become a staple at Alex’s clubs, kicked the honor off first with this line in “MC Hammer” off his Teflon Don CD: “Puchi puchi money long/ Now we call him Alex.”


Young Jeezy, who has AG’s number on speed dial, responded with an Alex homage of his own off “Death B4 Dishonor”:

   Kept the lights on in Visions
   N*gga, Alex know
   Made him famous
   F*ck you think they call him Alex for?

I spoke with Alex yesterday, via phone from D.C. where he’s handling business, and he confirmed that it was indeed Sandrarose.com who made him famous — not Rawse or Jeezy. Please believe it!


Both Ross and Jeezy partied in Alex’s clubs this past weekend. Rawse held another album release party at Alex’s Velvet Room in Atlanta on Sunday night, and Jeezy popped into Alex’s Gold Room on Monday night.
