Effy opted not to work for the NWA.
Speaking on Weekend at EFFY's, EFFY claimed that NWA asked him to come work for them, and he refused. He stated that NWA told him that Tyrus wasn't there anymore, and he explained why that did not impact his thought process. Effy also shared his thoughts on the cocaine spot at NWA Samhain, which reportedly impacted the company's television deal with The CW Network.
"You know what I told Billy Corgan? I said go fuck yourself. They asked me to come work NWA. They begged. They had multiple people call me to come work NWA. You know what I said? I’m not helping you. They said Tyrus isn’t here anymore. You know what I said? You leaned into what Tyrus was doing, which was hate speech and FOX News bullshit, for such a long period that it fucked you, and now you want Effy to come in and fix things and go a PR job? No. I’m not helping you. I don’t need you, and I’m not helping your company look competent. Then what happens? You blow your TV deal with the CW because oh, the GCW guys are all smoking crack? Is that the rumor going around? No, the NWA guys are doing fake cocaine live on the air and getting pulled off of FITE TV and losing their TV deals. Oh my god. You want Effy to come in? Alright, well guess what? It’s as easy as giving me $50 million, you stupid dumbass piece of shit. Go be a rat in a cage, dumbass Billy Corgan, you fucking loser," Effy said.
