After the hilarious prank call 50 Cent made during Shyne’s on-call interview with XXL, Shyne did not realize the real identity until the actual interview was done.

Once told hours later, MTV held an interview with the artist over Skype to get his reaction, to which he said: “Wow. That’s like an all-time low. I didn’t know he was so desperate. He’s gone from confidential informant, witness-protection program dude, getting order [of protection] on muthafuckas. Now he’s a stalker. I was in shock. He called up saying he was ‘Jamal from Harlem.’ He didn’t call up saying he’s Curtis Jackson, Hawaii 5-0. He’s a busta. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe he would stoop to that low. Then again, a guy in the witness-protection program, he has no shame.”

Its kinda the whole point of a prank call Shyne…you tend to wanna hide your identity…He said furthermore: “You know how it is. When you do these things, you always gotta expect a muthafucka to call and he might be disgruntled. We took it as another disgruntled person. ‘Cause you know, I don’t know what his voice sounds like. I don’t listen to nothing he do. If we on the yard, and they put his video on, they change the TV in the yard.”

“I don’t jack that dude on no level,” says Shyne, who I guess forgot that he famously dissed by 50 on the 2005 diss track, “Piggy Bank.” “I don’t know what his voice sound like. But somebody at Def Jam caught him. He’s been reaching out to one of my generals in the street begging for peace. He caught his voice too. It was after the fact.”

Sound like this will be another long beef standing to which 50 Cent has made once again. Checkout the video below for the full interview:
