Tricky Labels Ex Band Mate And Massive Attack Man 'A Control Freak'

July 4, 2008
Tricky Labels Ex Band Mate And Massive Attack Man 'A Control Freak'Trip Hop pioneer Tricky has called his ex Massive Attack band mate "a control Freak".

Speaking to Stool Pigeon, the producer revealed why everyone connected with the group fell out.

He blames 3D’s desire to become a pop star and quest to be the focal point of the group. "It’s 3D. The only guy left in Massive Attack now is 3D. He’s always wanted to be a pop star and The Wild Bunch weren’t like that."

"He’s a control freak. He wants to be a superstar," he said.

Tricky goes on to claim that 3D began to feel threatened by the popularity of other members songs.

"Shara Nelson wrote some of them songs and it would have been good for them to keep doing singles with her. But 3D got threatened, thinking she’s gonna take over the band. She got fucked over."

“As soon as Shara blew up on that single, he was threatened by that,2 he said."

Tricky is due to release new album 'Knowle West Boy' on the July 7.
