Scott Storch Calls The Roots “Haters,” Ignites Backlash

In a recent interview, hitmaker Scott Storch alleges that The Roots were less than endorsing after they found out he was working with a major name.

Full story below…

On the ‘PBD Podcast’, Storch reflected on the early parts of his career working with the group.

He claimed that he was being compared to Pete Best, drummer for The Beatles from 1960 to 1962, before they gained fame.

Storch says he felt very underappreciated, which led to his falling out with the band upon them discovering that he was working with Dr. Dre. He says:

“You’re working with Dre 10 years too late. Good luck.’ And, we went on the run of runs. They’re just all haters.”

The ‘Still D.R.E.’ producer magnetized backlash from these comments. One user posted:

“If this were true The Roots would have fallen off after he left. Yet they are a fixture in Hip Hop culture where Storch is a footnote.”

While another user expressed:

“I don’t deny his talent but Scott acts like Questlove ain’t a helluva producer himself. Go check his producer credits.”

Elsewhere, the hitmaker dished on his friendship with Diddy, who is currently on trial. He explains that the Bad Boy mogul is still his homie and is a gangster. He states:

“He’s gangster for sure like, he’s definitely like he’s from New York like he’s not a p*ssy. Is he a homosexual? Bisexual? Everybody’s trying to push that. Is he a cuck, which is like watching other […] I wasn’t in the room. I do know I felt like at one point he tried to flirt with me and sh*t and I was just like ‘I’m good on that type of sh*t.’ I’m just gonna leave it simple like that, you know what I mean. That’s it. You know it is what it is. He’s my homie, man.”

The Roots have yet to comment on Storch’s remarks.
