Recent career[edit]
On November 2, 2007, Messy Marv was released from jail after serving twelve months on weapons charges.
[4] In the spring of 2012, Messy Marv released the hit mixtape,
Da Frank Lucas Dat Neva Wore Da Mink Coat and released the hit single, "You Gotta Pay Me". In 2013, he announced the release of his newest LP "Playboy Gangsta" under his new moniker
LilPaperdupMess, and released 3 singles as promotionals for the album: "We Killas", "Beautiful Kalifornia", & "A Girlfriend Ain't What I Need". Marv confirmed via Twitter a release date of July 23, 2013 for the LP.
Controversy[edit]
Obie Trice[edit]
In 2005, he was in a feud with
G-Unit, which escalated when
Obie Trice, a member of
Shady Records, went to the radio station
KMEL and said, "in San Francisco I have to cover my a**." A diss track was released by Guce and Messy Marv, "50 Explanations", on the album
Pill Music: The Rico Act, Vol. 1.
50 Cent and
Sha Money XL then exchanged words over the phone with Guce's camp. He afterwards said, "it's over with, and it never kicked off".

San Quinn[edit]
Messy Marv started a feud with his cousin San Quinn on September 22, 2008, by calling the latter a "snitch".
[6] On December 11, Quinn told HipHopDX that he "loves" Messy Marv despite the
diss tracks that they have both sent to each other.
[7] In a 2010 interview with WordofSouth, he stated the reason for the beef was because he was "talking too much", but that they are attempting to squash the feud.
[8]
Too Short[edit]
On August 3, 2011, Watson Jr. started a beef with rapper
Too Short on
Twitter.
[9] According to HipHipDX, Messy Marv was apparently calling the latter's support of peers into question, while Short offered to meet face-to-face to discuss the matter in private.
[10] It is unclear how the beef started, but one way it possibly started was when Too Short was featured on a song by
40 Glocc called 'Welcome to California", where he reportedly said that the Bay Area was not a place for
Crips and
Bloods. "I guess he took that [to mean] I was talking about him. I don’t know [what he thought]. It went way over my head. One of my Frisco homies told me the other day he was mad at me over the 40 Glocc song," said the rap legend, as Marv is affiliated with a Piru Blood gang. Another cause for the beef might have been, states the report, that Marv and other area emcees may wrongfully recall being threatened if they did not align with Short's
Up All Nite imprint in 2007.
Spider Loc[edit]
On April 19, 2007, rapper
Spider Loc released a diss track at Marv, and
Game called "Ova Killa" featuring Papa Smurf.
[11]
Mistah F.A.B.[edit]
In 2009, Messy Marv mocked rapper
Mistah F.A.B.'s chain getting stolen repeatedly.
[12] This led to diss tracks being sent between the rappers, including F.A.B. sending one entitled "Okay" where he impersonates Watson Jr.
[13]
Philthy Rich[edit]
On September 25, 2013,
Philthy Rich released a track entitled "Swear to God" featuring Kurt Diggler. It dissed Marv and Bay Area rappers
Kafani &
DB Tha General.
[14]. The track is to appear on his upcoming album
N.E.R.N.L. 3. In response, Marv plans on releasing a diss record entitled
Philthy Rich Is a Bitch on October 22.
