Ghostface Mad at Wu-Tang "Hierarchy", Unpaid for Tour[?]

Ghostface is upset with the unspecified "hierarchy at Wu-Tang Clan" for the fact that Wu-Tang's 8 Diagrams got pushed back to his album date and that he allegedly still hasn't been paid for previous Wu-Tang touring.

Turns out that Ghostface had the December 4th release date for his own album, The Big Dough Rehab, for quite a while.

According to MTV:
"I had December 4 for the longest," he explained. "But the Wu album, brothers was kinda late on doing whatever they were doing and pushed it back ... on my date. You can put this in there, I'm not [mad at] all the members. It's not based on the members, but the hierarchy at Wu-Tang Clan is on some bullsh--. They trying to f--- around and make me push my album back and doing all this. But n---as ain't f---ing around or give us money when we did them Wu-Tang tours. The first one, they paid us after a while, but this last one, n---as is holding onto a lot of money...It's a battle right now."

Though Ghostface did not specify who constitutes the "hierarchy", he did clarify who does not:
"It ain't got nothing to do with the regular members. 'Cause I love Raekwon, Masta Killa, U-God, Genius, all them. But it's on right now."

Apparently Ghostface also feels his album would already be complete if he had not chosen to join Wu-Tang for the Rock the Bells tour with Rage Against the Machine, the tour for which he says members have not been paid.

He also claims that Steve Rifkind, who's putting out 8 Diagrams on Loud Records, made some phone calls in hopes of getting label execs to change the date for The Big Dough Rehab.

Sounds like Ghostface was pretty much done with the topic by the end of the interview:
"N---as better pay my f---ing money. Matter of fact, they can keep the money — just get me out of their life right now. They can keep that money, it's all good now. I don't even wanna talk about it no more."

Wow, no wonder Miss Info is sad.
