Hit-Boy Says He Hasn’t Spoken to Nas in 3 Years: ‘I Don’t See Us Working Again’

The pair made six albums in three years and have three Grammy nominations (and one win) to show for it.

Hit-Boy revealed that he and Nas have had a falling-out, despite the critically acclaimed work they’ve done together over the past several years.

The West Coast beatmaker sat down with DJ Vlad and Elliott Wilson recently and mentioned that he and the Queens legend aren’t on speaking terms anymore and he doesn’t see them ever collaborating again.

He added: “We did a lot of great work, but I don’t see us working again.”.

He was then asked by Wilson if there was any specific reason as to why they fell out, but Hit didn’t really want to get into specifics. “It’s a lot of reasons, you know what I mean?” he said.

From 2020 to 2023, Nas and Hit-Boy made King’s Disease, King’s Disease II, Magic, King’s Disease III, Magic 2 and Magic 3, with their King’s Disease series earning them three Grammy nominations, including a win for best rap album in 2021.
