Bun B Recalls Reconciling With Pimp C 2 Days Before He Died

Bun B delivered one of his most candid reflections on UGK’s brotherhood during a recent appearance on BHighTV, opening up about how he and the late Pimp C handled conflict—and how the duo reconciled just two days before Pimp C’s unexpected death.

When host BHigh asked if their disagreements ever grew so intense that UGK seemed beyond repair, Bun shut the idea down. “I wouldn’t say that,” he explained, though he admitted there were moments when each man was unhappy with the other’s choices.

According to Bun, honesty kept UGK functional. “I saw things that I didn’t like, and I would vocalize that… and he would do the same,” he said, making it clear that transparency never disrupted the mission.

Inside the studio, the chemistry remained intact. Both released solo albums before Pimp C passed.

“We never argued like that. He would do the beats, I would do my verse… we always knew how to defer to different people in different situations.”

Even years of living in separate cities didn’t fracture their bond. Instead, Bun says life pulled them in “different directions,” leading each to create distance when necessary.

Still, the respect never faded. “That’s a grown-ass man. As long as he show up for work and we can get the job done, I don’t really have a problem.” Their understanding was simple: handle business, let each other live.

The interview’s most emotional moment came when Bun described a hard conversation he and Pimp C had just forty-eight hours before Pimp C passed. They confronted lingering tension, cleared the air, and ultimately chose unity.

“All right, we on the same page about it. Let’s get back to it,” Bun remembered telling him.

Then came the moment that now anchors his peace: “I’m glad the last thing I told him was I love you. The last thing he told me was, ‘I love you too, Pee Wee.’”

Bun said that closure is something “everybody didn’t get,” and that reality shapes the advice he gives artists like Turk and B.G. as they navigate their own rifts. His prescription is direct:

“Men have to be in a room alone… sit at the table across from each other, with the egos inside.” Work through the pain while you still can. “Don’t make up at the funeral.”
