Jadakiss has a vendetta against the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
On the latest episode of the Good PizzZa podcast, as seen above Jada and his Lox bandmate Styles P were given a series of rapid-fire questions. When they were asked to name their favorite of the four Ninja Turtles, Jadakiss immediately replied, “I hate the fucking [Ninja Turtles].” Styles P and the host laughed in response, offering Jada a chance to explain himself.
“They’ve been calling me a Ninja Turtle for years,” he said. “Fuck Ninja Turtles! At least let me be the voice of one of them shits.” Styles P asked which of the four turtles uses the staff, and the host said it was Donatello. It’s likely that his longtime collaborator was making a joke, because Donatello’s headband is purple and Jada has long had an affinity for the color purple.
Jadakiss sharing his hate of TMNT comes not long after he teamed up with fellow NYC hip-hop legend Fat Joe for a new podcast presented by Boost Mobile, Joe & Jada. The Volume and Roc Nation-produced show kicked off this month, and on the first episode, the two shared their thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s beef with Drake, which dominated headlines last year.
