In a recent interview with TMZ at the unveiling of the street named after his late father, Eazy-E, Lil Eazy-E had some words for Dr. Dre. In fact, issued a public call to Dr. Dre, urging the iconic producer to revisit his roots and pay a visit to Eazy-E's mother. The rapper and son of the N.W.A legend expressed disappointment at the absence of Dr. Dre at Eazy-E's funeral, recalling that DJ Yella was the sole attendee during his formative years. Lil Eazy-E remarked, "30 years later, do you think I care?" His words resonated with a sense of unresolved disappointment. He underscored the significance of Dre's absence during a pivotal moment in Eazy-E's legacy.
Lil Eazy-E believes that given Eazy-E's profound influence on the West Coast rap scene, Dre, along with the entirety of the west coast region, should acknowledge and honor his father's contributions. Directly addressing Dr. Dre, Lil Eazy-E extended an invitation for him to reconnect with Eazy's mother, emphasizing the historical ties between Dre and the family. "Dre, you were on her couch when your mom kicked you out. So you could come sit there and say hi. She is still living and well," he stated, adding a personal touch to the plea for a reconciliation.

In the realm of hip-hop, where authenticity and respect are integral, this challenge serves as a reminder that even the most iconic figures should remain grounded in the communities that shaped their ascent.
