Tony Yayo sat down with DJ Vlad and revealed that he received a call from retail chain Spencer's Gifts the day after Drake posted a selfie of himself wearing a “Free Yayo” shirt.
“As soon as Drake put the shirt on, I got a call the next day. “Spencer wants to make a deal with you,” Yayo said. He also said that the shirts will be available in all Spencer's worldwide and that Crooks & Castles will manufacture them.
Drake posted the photo of himself wearing the shirt after Yayo told Vlad in a separate interview that he didn't think the beef was over between the two rap heavyweights. “I think the battle is not over,” he said. “Drake is Drake, Kendrick is Kendrick. They are both of the greatest artists in the world. … We can say what we want to say, all Drake has to do is … Every time we count Drake out, he comes back with a bang, that's all I'm saying. All he has to do is come back with a No. 1 record. Kids will dance like they dance to 'Not Like Us'.
The “Free Yayo” shirt was made famous by Eminem when the Detroit rapper wore it during the 45th Grammy Awards to support the G-Unit member. Yayo was jailed on bail stemming from an arrest on New Year's Eve in 2002. The Queens rapper was released on parole in January 2004, but was arrested the day after he got out for having a fake passport. He was then released a month later in February.
