When Memo600 first linked up with OTF,
fans thought he was next up.
But after beefing with his own homies, he was allegedly kicked out of the crew
and had his chain snatched.
Here’s what happened.
A couple months ago, an OTF member named Bayzoo
hopped on IG Live to call out Memo.
During the session, Bayzoo showed off a chain that was allegedly snatched from Memo and said
“**** Memo, *****. I’m Memo killer from now on.”
Bayzoo sending shots directly at Memo shocked fans,
but Zoo wasn’t the only one.
According to rumors, Lil Durk wanted to throw hands with Memo and set him up to get his chain snatched.
But before we get into that, we gotta rewind to where this all allegedly started
when Memo embarrassed Durk by getting his chain snatched by the opps.
A few years ago, OTF and 600 were tight.
But when Lil Durk started to become one of the hottest artists in the game,
600 allegedly got jealous of his success.
Supposedly there was never no real beef,
but something went down behind the scenes that was creating tension.
Durk and the rest of OTF are still cool,
but they not as close as they used to be.
One thing that might have been part of the problem was Durk signing rappers from 600 to OTF.
Around that time, Booka from 600 went over to OTF and started rocking with them.
And then Durk’s brother DThang ended up signing Memo after that.
Rumors say that Durk never really liked Memo, but he’s never confirmed that himself.
Fans peeped how Durk never pushed Memo’s music like he did other dudes in OTF,
and it seemed like Memo was getting put on the back burner.
Then something went down that gave Durk a real reason to have beef.
In 2019, a rapper named TTB Nez went live on Instagram showing off an OTF chain.
But it wasn’t just a normal OTF piece,
the chain Nez had was a special one with the words “600BOYZ4EVA” on it.
Durk had a few of these made just for artists from 600,
so the opps getting one was a major embarrassment.
Nez ain’t say whose chain it was, but his homie Drilla hopped in the comments and said
“Sumbody explain dis n we gon make yo lil **** look good we gon put a real chain with it @memofrm600.”
No one knows what really happened, but Memo came out and said he ain’t get his chain snatched
and that his own cousin stole it.
He went on social media to defend himself and said
“It’s one thing getting caught lacking, but for a mother****** to set you up,
it’s pure snake ****.
Especially a mf with yo same bloodline.
They do anything for some clout and I see the same mf that was just on his dick tryna get down.
It show you they only love you when it’s beneficial.”
No matter how it happened, Memo still lost his chain |and Durk allegedly tried to get DThang
to kick him out of OTF because of it.
It also sounds like he referenced the chain snatching in his verse
on Stuck in the Jungle, when he raps “You said they stole your chain, you lied, they took it.”
After Memo lost his chain, a picture started going around of a Durk tweet that said
“how you gang they took your chain.”
But it’s rumored the tweet was photoshopped or that it wasn’t even directed at Memo’s situation.
No one knows exactly what went down between Durk and Memo around this time,
but it’s pretty clear that their relationship was far from perfect.
Before DThang brought him over to OTF,
Memo was only rapping for a little while but already had hits under his belt like the track Steppers.
Fans noticed his songs weren’t really popping after he signed with OTF,
and some think it was because Durk never really wanted to put him on.
He was featured on the OTF compilation tape in 2021, but Memo’s own career looked like it had faded out.
Later that same year, Memo went on a Twitter rant
calling out OTF for trying to blackball him in the industry.
He wrote “THEY WONT LET THE WORLD SEE HOW HOT YOU IS
THEY PUT DIRT ON YO NAME AN SUM MO ****
EMPIRE TOLD ME SOMEBODY FROM THE LABEL TOLD THEM IM DONE IM GOING TO JAIL AN SUM NO ****
LIKE WTF TYPE **** IS THAT NAW SOMEBODY GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO.”
With all the internal smoke, it looked like Memo was trying to branch out and get a deal for himself with Empire.
But according to him, someone in OTF was trying to stop him.
Another tweet said “ON MY BROTHER GHAZI CEO OF EMPIRE SAID SOMEBODY FROM OTF TOLD HIM IM THREW
IM FINNA GO DO ALOT OF TIME WTF DOES THAT ON STEVE?”
Apparently Memo had some legal issues going on, but he says it wasn’t a big deal.
In another tweet he wrote
“1ST OF ALL BOTH CASES WASNT A WEPON IN MY POSSESSION THEREFORE
CASE DISMISSED IF U KNOW THE LAW.”
He also said “Second WTF TOLD EMPIRE IM IN ALOT OF ****
AN BLAH BLAH BLAH WEN MFS FIGHTING 40 CASES BE FR ON STEVE?”
Then in January 2022, reports came out that Memo was signing to Wack 100.
This was a shock to fans because of Wack’s connection to 6ix9ine.
Tekashi has been taking shots at Durk, OTF, and basically everyone else,
so Memo linking up with a dude affiliated to him was strange.
Wack is also from the West Coast and known for his association with LA artists like Blueface and the Game.
So signing a drill rapper from Chicago seemed off.
In an interview with Death of the Clout Chaser, Memo said “Yeah I’m ****** with him.
As long as he don’t bring (6ix9ine) around me, I don’t got **** to do with that.
I’m a real street n***a before music, I ain’t going to lie.
I ain’t with none of that police shit, none of that.
He cool, if that’s how he make his money, that ain’t none of my business, you know.”
With everything that happened between them, a lot of people thought
Memo had completely fallen out with Durk and the rest of OTF.
But in the same interview, Memo said “There ain’t no beef that’s my brother, that’s fam ****.
How could I beef with somebody that put me on?”
Wack 100 ended up not signing Memo, and according to him Chief Keef is the one who told him not to.
When Memo heard the news he hopped on Clubhouse and went off on Keef, then said
“Whole motherfucking Glo Gang full of goofies… I’m finna treat they ass like the opps.”
Getting into more beef with a massive artist like Keef wasn’t a good look,
and rumors say this just gave Durk another reason to distance himself from Memo.
Then in March 2022, Memo went off on another one of the hottest rappers in the game
and ended up dragging OTF into it with him.
On March 4th, DaBaby and NBA Youngboy dropped their collab tape on the same day as Von’s posthumous album
What it Means to be King.
DaBaby and Youngboy are two of the most talked about rappers in the industry
and a lot of fans expected their tape to blow up instantly,
but Von’s album ended up with more than double the sales.
Even though he wasn’t rocking with OTF like he used to, Memo hopped on Twitter to troll DaBaby over the numbers.
He wrote “CANT BLAME DA BABY HE THOUGHT THAT MAN WAS GNE SAVE HIS CAREER.”
DaBaby posted a screenshot of the tweet and went off in the captions.
He aired Memo and the rest of OTF out and said “Y’all on da internet playing tryna run ya stripes up
while y’all BIG DAWG in my DM waving the white flag.
Y’all n***as must not be on da same page over there at OTF but check dis out, it ain’t a gang, city,
N***A, or neighborhood in da WORLD scary enough to make BABY pick & choose who to get money wit n***a.
I ain’t one uh nem !”
Memo clapped back and said “I WATCH ALL THE KILLERS TURN INTERNET
SO DONT SAY SHIT TO ME ON STEVE ILL TREAT ANY MF !!”
He followed that up with “That loyalty **** watered down
everybody got they own definition DONT tell me bout no Otha n*** ima stand on business goofy!!”
Youngboy and Durk won’t ever be cool after Von was killed -
but DaBaby was never part of the beef.
Rumors say Memo starting drama without Durk’s permission is what made OTF turn against him for good.
If the rumors are true, the timing makes sense.
A few weeks after the Twitter beef was when Bayzoo hopped on IG Live and went after Memo.
He said Memo “put the internet in the street’s business”
and showed off the chain that allegedly belonged to him.
No one knows for sure what happened, but rumors started flying around
that Durk tried to fight Memo for embarrassing OTF with the Dababy situation.
Memo was allegedly afraid to fight him, so he pulled up to the location with some dudes who were strapped
but they ended up getting their guns took and got hands put on them while Memo ran away.
Memo says it’s all cap and that he still has his chains.
He tweeted “I KEEP CHECKING FOR MY CHAIN THINKING I GOT MY SHIT TOOK FR.”
But according to a 600 affiliate named Shark,
Memo’s chains ain’t even real and Durk was mad at him for airing OTF business out in public.
Comon man you got 6, 7 phoney chains around your neck man.
That's what Durk was talking about man take that nut ass **** off man.
Durk aint said nothing publicly about the Memo situation,
but it’s obvious that OTF is done with him.
Bayzoo made it pretty clear how he feels about Memo,
even allegedly sen ding death threats.
If Durk was still cool with Memo he’d step in and squash the beef between his artists,
but that don’t seem to be the case.
At the same time, it’s possible Durk told Bayzoo behind the scenes to chill out.
But right now Bayzoo got bigger things to worry about.
On May 13th, a story broke that Bayzoo was arrested on gun charges for allegedly having three machine guns.
He’s already on probation for two charges he caught in 2019,
so if the rumors are true he could be facing some serious time.
Memo ain’t just make opps out of former friends though.
Last month, a Chicago drill rapper named Rico Recklezz went on No Jumper
and said Memo tried to set him up while he was in jail.
According to Rico, Memo and him had a small beef back in the day but it wasn’t nothin serious.
But when Memo found out Rico was locked up with some dudes he knew, he allegedly tried paying them to jump him.
Rico says that Memo ain’t have enough clout to order a hit like that,
and the dudes on the inside was all cool with him.
But now that Rico’s back on the streets, the beef between him and Memo could turn up.
Signing with a massive artist like Lil Durk would be a dream come true for most rappers.
But it seems like ever since he linked up with OTF, Memo’s situation been getting worse.
Most of the info about the beef is just rumors,
but enough has been said publicly that makes it clear he’s not cool with them anymore.
When someone signed to the same label as you | sends you death threats for the whole world to see,
it’s clear that something went wrong.
