Sheek Louch has spoken about the time he tried to convince Styles P’s stabbing victim to drop the charges against his fellow LOX lyricist.
Styles infamously served an eight-month stint in an upstate New York prison back in 2002 after stabbing a man in the buttocks following an altercation.
In an interview with VladTV more than 20 years later, Louch revealed he confronted the man at his home following the crime to try and convince him to drop the charges. However, his attempt was unsuccessful.
“It was some hood shit, like some regular on-the-block type shit,” Louch said. “Homie went to court and said he did this and that. I tried to get him to stop. I actually went to the guy’s house. It’s a little joint n-gga from my hood. I went to his house and tried to convince him not to put my brother away. But he still did it. He still did it.”
He continued: “When that happened with Styles, it was no ‘let me try to kill you’; it was more, ‘move, get the fuck outta here.’ Like little pokes, and that’s what happened. No crazy wild shit.”
Later in the interview, Louch claimed the victim was encouraged by witnesses to press charges in order to get some sort of compensation.
“I knocked on his door [and he said], ‘I got you Sheek, man. It’s over with. It ain’t nothing.’ And still actually put him away,” he recalled the man saying. “I thought the guy was gonna say, ‘Ain’t nothing happen, it’s over,’ but I think once you actually press charges they gotta follow up.”
The interview comes after Styles P pushed back the release of his A Calm Wolf/Penultimate album out of respect for the legendary music manager Hovain, who died last November. The project was supposed to drop on December 9; a new date has yet to be announced.
“The album A Calm Wolf/Penultimate is postponed from Dec. 9,” Styles wrote on Instagram. “Hovain was the one who would handle all I had to do. Miss him dearly for multiple reasons but I have to pull my brain together. In the meantime I did drop a music NFT @farmacyfantoms you can buy it with a credit card. Get familiar with web 3.”
The Yonkers native added in the caption: “Bare with me … I don’t like dealing with the industry.. gonna figure it out though.”
Styles P’s forthcoming record will likely be one of his final outings as a solo artist. He wrote on Instagram last October that aside from collaborating with his LOX brethren, he will likely retire from rap following the release of two more projects.
“I believe I have run myself down a tad bit over the past few years,” he wrote. “Being a super hard working emcee and a health advocate. For one, I’m not really that great at multi tasking it’s actually my drive that keeps me going and that slack falls back on my family, business partners and co workers. I thought about it harder and came to the conclusion that I need to walk away from my solo career period ( I think I gave y’all enough ).”

Styles P’s last solo project was Ghosting which dropped in 2021, but he also linked with Havoc that same year for their joint effort Wreckage Manor.
Ghost’s solo career is almost as prolific as his work with The LOX, and last August he celebrated the 20th anniversary of his 2002 hit “Good Times” with a special concert in New York City, which was attended by Havoc, Smoke DZA, Statik Selektah and many others.
Elsewhere in his interview with VladTV, Sheek Louch spoke obout Young Thug’s RICO trial and the number of co-defendants who have taken plea deals in the case.
“I think it’s all the way horrible,” Sheek said of the pleas. “Whatever you’re involved in, if you’re not going to go all the way with it, it’s no place for that kind of shit to even like snitch. Thug, I would get rid of all these muthafuckas around you and just take whatever they give you. Stop relying on these other guys, they’re not down with you.”
