Tony Yayo has teased his forthcoming podcast as the “biggest” one yet — with belief that it will catapult him amongst “the greats.”

While joining VLADTV for a recent sit-down, he discussed plans for his upcoming show and his plans to be around for the long haul.

“Vlad, I soak up game from you,” he started. “I’m learning a lot of stuff about this podcast stuff. I’m soaking up game with you because I’m telling you I’ma have one of the biggest podcasts. I’ma be up there with the greats. That’s my next thing because I love talking.”

The G-Unit vet has yet to share a name for the pod nor a release date, but he’s no stranger to speaking his mind and going viral with his storytelling.

One example is when Yayo interviewed with Drink Champs last year, garnering over 2.4 million views to date. During the episode, he shared his sentiments about what makes Eminem a “real ni**a.” The “So Seductive” rapper explained a time at 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” video shoot, where he claimed that Em helped Suge Knight regain composure after arriving to set with “Mexican gangsters.”

“Cameras are falling, dancers are running, everybody’s running,” Yayo recounted the chaotic day. “This is why I always respected Eminem, 50, and ni**as that was with us. Suge came, he had some Mexican ni**as. Now, we from New York; you ain’t never seen a ni**a with a tattoo on his forehead.”

He continued, “We like, ‘Damn, what we got to lose? If we don’t pop now, we going back to the hood!’ So it’s like, fight these Mexican Blood ni**as, killer ni**as, or go back home to the crib. Might as well go all out and fight right here! We around Dr. Dre so it’s like, ‘Yo, we gotta do what we gotta do.’”

Recalling the “Lose Yourself” MC standing up to the infamous music mogul, he went on, “[Suge] lights his cigar and he trying to see what you gon’ do… This is when I knew Eminem was real. He was like, ‘I don’t give a f**k, man!’ That’s when I knew, ‘Damn, Eminem is a real ni**a. 50 ni**as outside. ‘What’s up?!’ And then the ni**a Suge just walked away. The Mexican ni**as looked kinda confused, they didn’t know what was going on.”
