Hovah would reportedly record numerous diss tracks towards Genesys and The Throne in retaliation, but had no intention of releasing them due to strong discouragement by Puffy Bombs following the deaths of Rakeem and Genesys. Unreleased songs such as "Family Jewels" and "Public Service Announcement 2.0" would be leaked online in late 1999 as part of a major industry leak, stirring controversy over Hovah seemingly mocking Genesys' death while continuing to diss The Throne, namely Roc Steady. Hovah would release a public statement the day after the leak, stating he had made the music in "poor taste" and has no plans to ever officially release the songs. | Hovah would reportedly record numerous diss tracks towards Genesys and The Throne in retaliation, but had no intention of releasing them due to strong discouragement by Puffy Bombs following the deaths of Rakeem and Genesys.

In a 2005 interview, Roc Steady would state the feud between The Throne and Hovah had been resolved "behind the scenes". In 2009, both Hovah and Roc Steady would be featured on DJ Scene's song "Black Royal" from his debut album, ''Gangsta Dealz: The Album''. In 2012, Hovah would be featured on Mac-12's tenth album, ''Hustler 101'', on the song "Lawyer Talk", where he would express his desire to see other former Throne members, Zaa and Killer Woo, secure early releases from prison. It would be reported in 2015 by ''Sierra Media'' that Hovah's management team and select lawyers had aided Zaa in his second appeal to overturn his racketeering charge, though it would be rejected the following year. | |||
