As the beef between J-Hood and his label D-Block (more specifically the Lox) has played out, Styles P has been a silent partner - until now. In an interview with XXL Magazine, The Ghost spoke his mind.

In response to statements made by Hood last week Tuesday claiming that he was being sent on a wild goose chase while trying to leave the label, Styles responded, "J-Hood's a muthafuc***' liar for one."

He continued, "Before he did all the Internet s***, he came to me-it was a week, maybe two weeks, prior [to the leak of the Youtube video], tops. And I said alright, you can get off, everything's cool, and I wished him the best of luck."

Styles said thats when he called Alan Grunblatt, KOCH Records' general manager, and said that he wanted to let Hood out of his contract with D-Block.

"I asked Alan if he wanted to let Hood go, let Hood off the label, he's unhappy. Besides that, as CEO's, we didn't feel really comfortable with Hood, because he was hardheaded and really didn't listen." At that point, Hood's release would have been a sealed deal, however, soon after the now infamous clip of him dragging his chain on the sidewalk and referring to Sheek as "Cheek Louch" emerged.

"You're not gonna disrespect something I built, and we built and took years to build and we try to help you out and we did a lot for you in your life," said the Ghost referring to the video. "You ain't like the way things [worked] out, but we did a lot for you and you wouldn't even be known, point blank period, if it wasn't for us."

Styles also denied that D-Block's management stole money from Hood saying, "Hood's talking about money? Hood got two upfront advances that he never had to give back. That we ain't even try and recoup or nothing! So Hood's a full-of-shit dude and he did something without honor."

"The part that irritates me is that Hood is a filthy coward for the way he handled the situation," he said. "I called Alan up the same day! Now, what I'm saying is, why should I waste my time? Because he tried to get publicity for himself? Because you want to hop on the stage with 50? I don't care, I hope you sign with him! I hope you sign with anybody who wants to sign you, I wish you the best."

As far as it stands with Holiday, Hood will be released from the label when he apologizes for his actions. "He should tell the truth, and be honest, and man up and apologize. Let him deal with Sheek and Kiss. I tried to get him off [the label]. He could've been off scott free, no problem. Now, deal with it like a business man, like a real man. As far as me, I'm falling back. I got better shit to do, Super Gangster, Extraordinary Gentleman in stores December 4."
