Nash also stated that Brown currently has a track which he wrote for him and was already paid for, but would like to "give the money back" explaining, "At the end of the day, I'm big on principle and loyalty. Put that to bed." However, Nash would eventually dispel his comments and the feud with Brown issuing the following statement.
