Ghostface Killah Reveals Wild Story About Staten Island Shootout with The Delfonics on Drink Champs
During a recent appearance on Drink Champs, Wu-Tang Clan legend Ghostface Killah shared a jaw-dropping story that left hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN stunned. The Staten Island emcee recounted an incident where he found himself in a shootout on his home turf—while the iconic soul group The Delfonics was with him.
A Wild Night on Staten Island
According to Ghostface, the event took place during a visit from The Delfonics, a group he has frequently cited as one of his musical inspirations. Fans of Wu-Tang will recall Ghostface collaborating with the legendary group on his classic track “Holla” from the The Pretty Toney Album, where he famously rapped over their 1968 hit “La La Means I Love You.”
“I had The Delfonics with me, right? We were just vibing, chilling, you know? Next thing I know, something popped off,” Ghostface said, painting the scene. What began as a calm evening quickly escalated when an altercation led to gunfire. “We’re out there ducking bullets, and I’m thinking, ‘Yo, I got The Delfonics here. I can’t let nothing happen to them!’”
Ghostface described the surreal nature of the moment, saying, “Imagine you’re in the middle of a shootout, and these legends are with you, looking at you like, ‘What’s going on?’” Despite the chaos, he and The Delfonics made it out unscathed.
The Delfonics’ Reaction
While Ghostface didn’t go into detail about The Delfonics’ immediate reaction to the incident, he did joke about their composed demeanor during the ordeal. “They were cool about it, man. Real calm. But me? I was stressed thinking, ‘This can’t be how it ends for them.’”
The story is another testament to Ghostface Killah’s larger-than-life personality and the unpredictable experiences that come with being part of hip-hop’s most influential group.
A Legacy of Respect for The Delfonics
Ghostface’s admiration for The Delfonics has been evident throughout his career. The soulful group has had a profound influence on his music, and their work helped shape the sound of Wu-Tang Clan’s golden era. Tracks like “Holla” are a direct homage to their artistry, blending Ghostface’s gritty lyricism with their smooth melodies.
In the Drink Champs interview, Ghostface reflected on his deep respect for the group: “They’re legends. Their music raised me, so to even have them in my life like that is a blessing. But that night? That was crazy.”
Reactions to the Story
Ghostface’s revelation quickly went viral, with fans and peers alike expressing disbelief and admiration for the rapper’s storytelling. Social media erupted with comments, many highlighting the surreal nature of the situation. One fan wrote, “Only Ghostface could have The Delfonics in the middle of a shootout and turn it into a classic story.”
Others praised the rapper for protecting the iconic group during such a dangerous moment. “This just proves why Ghost is one of the realest in the game,” another commenter said.
Ghostface’s Legendary Storytelling
