After this release he disappeared from the music scene, to resurface years later as a director of pornographic movies. While for the most part he did not seem interested in getting back into music, he did reunite with former N.W.A member MC Ren for a song called "Bangin" on the soundtrack to one of his sex movies. On October 17, 2006, at VH1's Hip Hop Honors, Yella performed with Lil' Eazy-E and Young Jeezy in a tribute to Eazy-E.
