I see, but MC Hammer had a self-deprecating Nationwide Insurance commercial. So, I suppose he either doesn't like it when someone else tells the truth about him, or he doesn't like the fact that it was done without him getting paid.

One might think that a person who does a commercial lampooning their own mistakes would find it understandable for another rap artist to use their real life experience as examples in their own music. Anyone could rap about people such as MC Hammer, TLC, Young Buck, Will Smith, Willy Nelson, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, or many entertainers, politicians, and others squandering their riches to the point of near or veritable bankruptcy at some point. However, among these, MC Hammer's particular story is obvious and easy to lambaste. Having made that clear in the aforementioned advert, he should know that best of all.
