In a recent interview, Lil Marc didn’t dodge the moment that’s become Memphis lore. He confirmed that he slapped Lil Load during a tense exchange inside a nearly empty Waffle House. According to Marc, the situation escalated after Load made reckless comments involving firearms, which Marc took as a serious threat in such a confined space.

“I don’t play with that kind of stuff,”
Marc said, making it clear this wasn’t a random outburst—but a reaction to what he believed was real danger.

The drama intensified after the incident was later referenced by Finesse 2Tymes in lyrics and interviews, sending social media into a frenzy. Some fans sided with Marc, calling it “street rules,” while others argued the situation spiraled out of control.

Marc also took time to clarify his relationship with Big Boogie. Despite persistent rumors of beef, he revealed that he actually reached out to Boogie in an effort to smooth things over, stressing there’s no personal hatred between them.

“I don’t hate nobody. I’m focused on my music and my path,”
Marc explained—an unexpected statement that surprised many fans.

His connection with Str8 Drop, however, is more complicated. Once close friends, the two have since gone their separate ways. Marc suggested their fallout was rooted in misunderstandings and circumstances, not outright animosity. The honesty added depth to his image, showing an artist willing to confront his past instead of running from it.

Amid all the drama, Lil Marc made it clear he hasn’t lost sight of his musical ambitions. He reflected on growing up in Memphis, his respect for the city’s OGs, and his desire to be recognized as a true Memphis legend, drawing comparisons to figures like King Von and RondoNumbaNine.
