Big Boi and Killer Mike have set their differences aside, and their beef has been squashed. Wait ... there's a story behind it all though.
As reported earlier this week, the former friends had a falling out and recently spoke candidly, explaining their sides of the story, via two separate explanations.
While Big Boi claimed Mike was released from his label, Purple Ribbon, with his blessing and then started bad mouthing him afterward, Killer Mike gave a much different account of what happened. He claims he went though a legal battle with Big Boi for his release, and that left a bitter taste in his mouth.
However, according to TheRezidue.com, the pair squashed their beef over the weekend after three years of non-communication. They finally spoke on the phone.
After Mike's recent video response, Big Boi responded via an interview on DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz radio show, which resulted in more shots being thrown out.
Mike had enough, picked up the phone, called a mutual friend, Bear Sills, and wanted to at least talk to Big to find out what was up.
According to TheRezidue.com, while Big was driving Mike reached Bear. Big Boi's son Cross was present, and heard the argument between Bear and Mike (Cross had no idea the former friends were not on speaking terms). Cross then asked Big, "You and Killer Mike not friends no more?" When Big told him no, his son sat there quiet and angry. When Big asked what was wrong, Cross responded "I'm mad you and Killer Mike not friends no more."
This is when it all turned around. Big Boi pulled over, stopped and told Bear to call Mike. The two spoke, and have since ironed out their differences.
What was said is not known, but the two have since met with each other, resulting in the photo seen above.
