There might be some intertwining truth between the two, but Nelly's story was tight, easy to follow, and it just made more sense.

Bro.. if the St. Lunatics were the Jackson 5.. Nelly was Michael Jackson! Period end of story! Now.. Ali has to understand that we all have seen the group and the inconvenient truth is that Ali had the least charisma in the group besides Kiwan. Nelly and Murphy were the stars of the group! Ali’s rap voice and style wasn’t special. He may have been the leader but his talents just didn’t resonate with the fans as much as Murphy Lee and Nelly! Those are the facts! I’m not saying that Nelly handled everything correctly but I believe that Ali has to accept the situation and move forward with his life in a positive direction and reinvent himself. He can never beat Nelly in the court of public opinion. I pray they all find peace and closure.

I am going to watch this...but it will be tough. I met these guys in 2000 at a Billboard music conference. I watched them go from no one knowing their names ...to being #1 on 106 & Park to killing MTV Award stages. They were so close.. and I always dreaded the day where their jouney came to an end. From what I remember, what I saw and what was told to me...Ali was the leader, served as a parental figure, their nutritionist..lol and visionary (in the beginning)....he was something like RZA. He wasnt perfect...but without his foresight and chess/strategic moves...this story plays out a lot different. He should have pivoted years ago...but he was loyal to a fault. I may not always like his responses now that they are on the outs...but he deserves his 🌹...

[@PancakeDiaries]

The nutritionist part isn't funny... I remember reading an interview from them, and they mentioned the vegetarian/pescatarian thing, only eating once a day, and working out... They shit inspired me to go full time vegetarian. I'm 39 in September. He was definitely on his righteous man shit, and passed it on to them

[@getemgirl212]

@@PancakeDiaries the lol was just me saying he was doing everything. Kyjuan actually influenced me to become a vegetarian… I gave up meat for a year … which helped with my digestive system… in 2000 not eating meat was the equivalent of being in a cult.. outside of Russell Simmons, being a vegetarian was weird.. I don’t even think there were vegetarian restaurants in Harlem. Ali was definitely ahead of his time and set the tone…

The real problem is people lacking integrity and respect. This is exactly why groups like Bone,The Wu, and The Lox can come back together. Even if they ever do have issues they don’t let it get in the way. People have to work with others that are willing and ready to he on the same page. Going solo should never cause a problems in a group but the only time it does is when you start letting people say to you that you don’t need your group.

The problem was that the Lunatics signed away 100% of their publishing on their 1st contract that Ali got them in. Nelly brought his publishing rights back, and Ali and the rest of them didn’t.

I had so many opinions and comments about this guy. Last man standing? Nelly till now still getting the guys to reunite and get in stage and every performance, Ali the one not there. Nelly said he’d never perform with slo again.. he on stage lol. Nelly owe you 90? For what? Like you said. If he gave you 14k, what’s it for?? Everything this guy said, Nelly version of events sounds way more believable and by you NEVER show up to shows and other events confirms nellys point of view . Nelly said for slo to make something of the opportunity, instead Ali here saying Nelly saw no value in slo. So Nelly in charge ? Why is Nelly deciding what slo does with the mask? He made 500k just jumping on stage. It’s what Nelly says, yall lean on him and empty his pockets, but yall won’t do better on your own when he decides to not carry. Hes going to spoon feed you? Hes not the record label! Yall not signed to him! He takes yall on tour to his show, not cause ppl ask for a lunatic show! He said if you could do better, you would. So how is he spoon feeding you? You bring no value to his show! So he doesn’t bring you anymore. Why? Well what are y’all doing individually or trying to do as a group? Nothing. Ali didn’t do a second album, first flopped. Kyjuan, no album. Murphy never did a second album after a successful first album which was odd, and in that time Ali did that collab with gip. So Nelly continued dropping successful albums and put yall in at least 1 song or 2 with Murphy per album for a while. NOBODY DID ANYTHING ELSE IN THAT TIME . Murph dropped some independent type stuff. Seems nobody wants to go further in the music, but yet yall blaming Nelly and saying spoon feeding. He’s not stopping yall from making albums. I’m pretty sure if the group members needed help humbly from Nelly to make solo projects, it could have happened at that time. Nelly said ppl were jumping on his tours, take the money he give them, go home do w.e and wait for the next Nelly call. I believe that to an extent. No reason with Nelly success and Murphy first album success, he’s just gone. And Ali ADMITTED to trying to mess up Nelly versuz deal with that company by trying to go at ludacris. Ali is full of ish.

I hate how whoever is willing to sit down and TELL ALL, their story becomes "THE TRUTH". Hearing all of this, combined with what I know from what I've seen over the 20+ years since Country Grammar, my belief is YES, there have been issues and things could have been done differently/better. I know that because ALL SITUATIONS have things that could have been better and has issues. But it's just funny how he started his "exit strategy" and began expressing all of these grievances when Nelly's earning potential and popularity had dipped to its lowest point. Now he's doing this shit on Nelly in the media tour when the earning power has risen since the pandemic ended and he's not apart of the money train anymore. Nelly stated in his interview that Ali is the ONLY person that EVER quit the group, MULTIPLE TIMES at that. Ali is jealous of Nelly. He feels like it was supposed to been him. You hear him saying "I started everybody to rapping" "it was MY group" "they thought I was gonna be THE ONE". We'll never know but I seriously doubt if ALI from St. Louis would have blew like Nelly if he got the shot instead of him. After a DIAMOND album and a multi PLATINUM Lunatic album, Ali FLOPPED HARD when he got his solo opportunity. It's a lot of envy, jealousy, etc combined with real issues that should have gone differently/better. It's not 100% either way but they're both present
