- Storch accuses The Roots of not appreciating his contributions and treating him poorly once he left the group.
- He equates his departure to being like Pete Best leaving The Beatles, suggesting he was undervalued.

- The Roots have yet to respond to Storch’s claims, leaving the conversation one-sided for now.
Scott Storch has stirred the pot with The Roots, calling them “haters.” His dissatisfaction seems to arise from the time he spent with the group in the ’90s. Storch claims that after he began collaborating with Dr. Dre, the group displayed jealousy and lack of appreciation.
Having been a pivotal member of The Roots, Storch believes his contributions were overlooked. He likened his situation to Pete Best, the original drummer of The Beatles, implying that he played a crucial role but was unappreciated.
Storch expressed that even his girlfriend at the time saw his move as a mistake, but he felt empowered not to be just “the white guy who plays keys in The Roots.” He emphasized his influence, saying, “I’m the guy coming up with all the shit.”
In a controversial remark, he stated the group called him “the white devil.” Adding to this tension, Storch’s successful collaboration with Dr. Dre on the 2001 album seemed to have fueled the animosity.
Meanwhile, Storch shared a more personal account of his attempts to aid rapper DMX in overcoming drug addiction. Though both were battling their own substance issues, Storch tried to guide DMX towards sobriety, showcasing a more compassionate side.
Despite his efforts, DMX’s path to recovery proved challenging. Storch described the irony of their situation as “the blind leading the blind,” acknowledging their mutual struggles with addiction.
While Storch openly discusses these past challenges, The Roots have remained silent on his allegations, leaving the public to wonder about their perspective.
The ongoing silence from The Roots keeps the narrative one-sided, with Scott Storch’s claims left unchallenged.
