“They were picking up all of our friends at different times,” No Malice tells HipHopDX, describing how the police were targeting members of his team on drug trafficking charges. “I had a friend, he just had a baby. He’s wheelchairing his wife who’s holding the baby while coming out of the hospital and ‘bam’ they got him… We didn’t know who was going to get picked up next… When I was on the plane and I didn’t see my brother [Pusha-T] get on the plane, I knew what was up because we never miss flights… I’m sitting on the plane and at the very last minute he comes stumbling in the door. I stood up in the middle of the aisle in front of all those people on the plane and I told him, ‘Yo, I don’t know if you thought I was joking. I don’t know if you thought I was playing. I’m letting you know, I ain’t doing this no more.’”
