Masta Wu Talks About B.I And Bobby

Among Masta Wu, Bobby, and B.I, there are the connections of 'hip hop' and 'YG Entertainment.' The three met as judge and contestants through Mnet "Show Me The Money 3" and even though their age gap is 17 years, they have been sharing common interests in music- which helps them grow closer. 

In a recent interview with a media outlet, Masta Wu stated, "The common ground where I could meet B.I and Bobby is 'hip hop.' Our age gap is big but the two really genuinely love hip hop so if we talk about hip hop, we could spend all day long together."

He got even closer to them through his recent song "COME HERE". Their collaboration was perfect. The song ranked 1st place the moment it was released.

But his first meeting with Bobby wasn't all that great. He said, "I saw Bobby about 3~4 years ago when he was a trainee. I heard two rappers came into the entertainment as trainees so I went to go see them and he wasn't listening to me when I was giving him advice."

He continued, "He didn't seem to change at all by what I said so I said, 'We need to kick Bobby out.' But that ended up being one of his greatest strengths. He's very clear about what he likes. He has overflowing confidence as well. He proved it through his victory on 'Show Me The Money 3.' I respect that now."

On the other hand, his love for B.I seemed to be constant. Masta Wu said, "I honestly didn't know B.I would get eliminated so quickly. I only saw his great sides when he was a trainee, so I thought he was someone who doesn't make mistakes. But I think he didn't have enough time to prepare for 'Show Me The Money 3' because he was filming for 'MIX & MATCH' at the time as well."

He continued, "B.I has great talents and on top of that, he tries really hard. He'll succeed no matter what he does. He's a scary kid. He's really going to become an 'iKON'."

Masta Wu has been a producer and singer of YG Entertainment for more than 10 years now.
