After The Breakfast Club played audio of Havoc allegedly speaking ill of Prodigy, the Queensbridge rapper and producer called into the radio show to dispute the claim. Hav stuck to his story that his phone was lost at a gas station. "I didn't hear about none of it until the afternoon," Prodigy told Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee. "Then I was trying to get my phone back, go to the Apple store and all that."

After Charlamagne pointed out that his tweets were coming from the web, Hav had an answer ready. "This is what I'm trying to say, I have a password app holder, in my phone that has all my passwords in it, for all my social networks," said the "Shook Ones, Part II" rapper. Hav also refuted Noreaga's assertions that it was him on the phone slandering Prodigy.

"NORE don't know me like that," he said. "NORE is mad cool but he don't know something to verify something like that."

Suspect tattoos are now a staple of Hip-Hop. Whether it's Bizarre of D12 getting a tattoo of Nicki Minaj's face on his arm, the dude who got “Free Lil Boosie” tatted on his face or the fan who got the word Drake's name inked on her forehead, bugged out choices abound. Power 105.1 radio host Charlamagne Tha God feels a ways about these tattoo parlor shenanigans.

“I feel sorry for the fans, I feel sorry for the young girl who went and got the Drake tattoo on her forehead, because the truth to the matter is, artists aren't going to be hot forever,” explains Charlamagne. “Imagine somebody six, seven, eight years ago getting a Ja Rule tattoo across they're motherFawkin' cheek. How stupid would they feel right now?”

Trust, you want to hear what Charlamagne says about Drake's Aaliyah tattoo.
