Before “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect” there was “You Can’t See Me.” It was the better of John Cena’s mottos mainly because that period of Cena was more interesting. The ride was more enjoyable than the Passion of the Cena “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect” period of his career.
Rapper and G-Unit co-founder Tony Yayo talked with VladTV about the “You Can’t See Me” hand gesture/dance and joked about getting props from John Cena.
G-Unit Co-Founder Tony Yayo Talks John Cena and Getting Credit for the “You Can’t See Me” Gesture
In the past John Cena explained that after seeing Tony Yayo do the gesture in the “In da Club” music video. He began doing the gesture as part of his persona after his brother dared him to do it on WWE television.
On Cena giving him props for the gesture, Yayo said:
“John Cena, just give me a million dollars or something. Give me a million. Let me get a million. That’s worldwide [laughs]. Nah, that’s cool man. He always gives me my props for it. He doesn’t have to do that. He’s an icon out here. Shoutout to him.” (h/t Fightful)
Yayo also explained the dance saying that it came from when he was on the run from the law in December 2002 when the music video was shot. He would be arrested at the end of 2002 on a weapons possession charge.
“That dance was created of me being on the run. I was on the run in the ‘In Da Club’ video. A lot of people don’t know that. I was trying not to show my face. I’m the first artist that was on the run that went to Barcelona, Europe, was around Eminem. I was the run.”
All in all, this was a better wrestling meets hip-hop story than Diamond Dallas Page suing Jay-Z over the Diamond Cutter/Roc-A-Fella hand gesture back in December 2005.
