I'm being sarcastic but in all seriousness - I think he was more talking about the industry pushing older rap artists out than the fans. Though the fans have been guilty of that at times, too. But in that context you're right, I don't think De La has been subjected to that treatment from fans. But they definitely were by their old label/the industry.
