Nipsey Hussle’s diss track “U Don’t Got a Clue” turned his mentor Big U into an enemy, sparking a confrontation that changed their relationship forever.
Nipsey Hussle was more than just a rapper to Big U.
The Rollin’ 60s Crips leader helped launch his career, let him record in the family studio, and gave him a place to live when he needed it most.
But that relationship fractured in 2011 over something as simple as music equipment, and the fallout reveals how quickly mentorship can turn into conflict within gang hierarchies.
According to court documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times, Big U requested some of Hussle’s recording gear that year, which sparked a dispute between the two.
Hussle responded by dropping a diss track called “U Don’t Got a Clue,” a direct shot at his former mentor that Big U took personally.
The indictment states that Big U perceived the song to be targeting him specifically, and he wasn’t about to let that slide.
