Cons says many years ago, Kanye was out and about rocking his Roc-A-Fella chain when some would-be thieves were on the prowl.

A story that Beanie Sigel first told over a decade ago is receiving a co-sign from Consequence. The rapper and producer recently caught up with The Art of Dialogue to revisit highlights of his career. Within the conversation also arrived behind-the-scenes tales of Cons and his peers—including one about Sigel saving Ye from getting his chain snatched.

“Ye hit me the same night in the situation with the girl. I think it might have been a chick named Sydney or some sh*t like that. He took her out," said Cons. "You know, n*gga one-two’ing. Listen, n*gga running around with a Roc-A-Fella chain on. You know what that sh*t do for your p*ssy rate?"

Cons then shared that the chain West was wearing came from Dame Dash. "He had the sh*t off of Dame neck, so he had the sh*t with the Cuban in the sh*t, ice just shining," he recalled. "N*ggas seen that man in there and was like, ‘Yo!’ N*ggas was at the Chelsea Diner on 23rd street. N*ggas hit n*ggas with the motherf*ckin’ Raekwon and Ghostface skit. ‘Word? What do we have here?’”

“I was in Queens. I woulda had to get on the train with the gun and all that sh*t." Cons also said. However, he was glad that there was a nearby recording studio. "But you know, fortunately, Baseline wasn’t but five blocks away. They came over and held a n*gga down. I always f*cked with them n*ggas for that sh*t. They ain’t have to.”

When Sigel first delivered the tale all those years ago, he suggested West "feel threatened." The State Property star said he told the wanna-be theives that "nothing was going to go down" as long as he was there. It's always good to have friends who have your back.
