The conflict over the name "Chedda Boyz" started after the formation of the rap group Eastside Chedda Boyz. After the second album released by the Street Lord'z, Platinum Masterpiece, boasted the subtitle, "Original Chedda Boyz," became the cause of conflict between the Street Lord'z and Chedda Boyz. Icewood released a bonus DVD with his "Stackmaster" solo album that featured an interview discussing the origins of the name Chedda Boyz. A retaliating diss song was later released by the Eastside Chedda Boyz titled "Boss Up and Take They Money" (an allusion to the Icewood song, "Boy Would You")
