We have all read the reports. “Webbie Being Sued By Concert Promoter,” “Rapper Webbie Suffers From Seizure,” “Rapper Webbie Fakes Seizures.” Then most recently it was video ready to give a radio DJ a two piece and a biscuit wit an extra order of fries. All have left those who have read these encounters simply wondering what the hell is wrong with dude?
Let’s go ahead and give credit where credit is due. Webbie does his thing as an independent artist, having achieved nationwide fame with catchy yet controversial hit such as “Gimme That Pu**y.” Funny, the same chicks he was asking to give it up he gave props to with the single “Independent” from his recent
Savage Life 2 album.
In light of all of this, when we interviewed Webbie the
first time he did not expect AllHipHop.com to ask about these allegations. Rather than using this time to set the record straight he went left field with the whole thing. However, before he banged out this is what AllHipHop.com got out of him, after two interviews.
AllHipHop.com: What’s up Webbie!
Webbie: What’s going on?
AllHipHop.com: Nothing much. First things first, are you hospitalized right now?
Webbie: No way.
AllHipHop.com: Did you have a seizure?
Webbie: Nah, I was drinking too much I got too drunk and people thought I had a seizure
AllHipHop.com: Do you know when your fans in Baltimore can expect a make-up concert from you?
Webbie: Aww man you could have [just] came straight out with that. Me and Lil Boosie, we showed up but the fire marshal came and shut the club down. [If] the fire marshal say get out, we gotta go. If ya’ll wanna stay, ya’ll can stay but we gonna listen to the fire marshal.
AllHipHop.com: According to reports you scheduled a make-up concert, any word on when fans can expect a make-up?
Webbie: Aw that sounds like you need to have an interview with management.
AllHipHop.com: As far as your situation in Baltimore you’re being sued for 1 million dollars…
Webbie: [Laughs] So what is this the comedy section now, this is the comedy part of the interview?
AllHipHop.com: That wasn’t even the question….I was getting to it…
Webbie: Oh, cuz that sounded real funny.
AllHipHop.com: So, is there a reason why this chick is suing you for a million dollars?
Webbie: Once again that’s a question you need to ask management. All I do is make music for my fans and sell records.
AllHipHop.com: Have you ever thought of looking toward your management as a cause for all of these problems that you’re having with promoters?
Webbie: No ma’am I don’t have a problem at all with my management.
AllHipHop.com: I read that you offered to do the show for free….did you hear back from the promoter as to when you can set that up?
Webbie: Aww man! Let me give you the number to management. [gives the number] I can’t answer not one question that you asking me right now. I’m not the right person to even start answering these questions. But if you want to hear about a hit song, we got my album dropping, Boosie coming after me. When you wanna talk about something the artist can answer gimme a call.

[Editor’s Note: We couldn’t leave it at that.]
AllHipHop: What was the motivation behind "Independent"?
Webbie: It was a lot of motivation behind the song. Last night I was with two of the most independent women in the world, my twin daughters. I got my sisters, I got my grandmother, my aunties, my cousins – women I know, just working around the office. I do music for everybody.
