"He threw a jab and I threw a jab and uppercut," Fabolous said of his responses to Mase on the latest street CD Loso’s Way, a double mixtape of original songs and freestyles by Fab and his Street Family.

Fabolous said that not too long ago, Mase approached him in Philadelphia and told him that things were all good. According to Fab, Pastor Betha even said he "appreciated" Fab as an artist. The two shook hands, and that was that. So imagine how Fabolous felt when he heard Mase dissing him soon after on a G-Unit mixtape.

"For you [Mase] to say that to me and the next time I hear you on record, [you’re dissing me], I feel dude is confused," Fab said. "If you’re not really a killer but you running with a bunch of dudes that say they’re killers, I guess you’re gonna talk like you a killer too, even if it’s not believable. I think [Mase] got caught up in trying to act like the people he’s around. 50 Cent and them is known for taking jabs and saying wild, reckless stuff. I guess he felt he had to jump in those shoes too. I just had to answer to it."

Fab explained that he got tired of people coming up to him in the street and asking what he was going to do with Mase’s line on "I Don’t Know, Officer" ("I don’t know why Loon and Fabby won’t just say I’m their daddy"), so he got back at him on the mixtape. Another question Fab has been asked incessantly is which label he’s signed to. Well, Fabolous cleared everything up. Fabolous has left Atlantic Records to move over to Def Jam. The deal is official, and Fab is getting in the studio ASAP to record his new album.
