--------
Ali reveals the financial struggles he faced as his Nelly delayed his payments for months. He claims the most he was owed at one point was between $70,000 to $90,000. The lack of payment forced him to question the company about his earnings. While the company intermittently gave him small checks, he claims it was not a sufficient resolution. This situation compelled him to think about an exit strategy from Nelly to ensure his family's financial stability. Ali also calls out Nelly for his lack of communication, arguing he would have made different decisions had he known about the delayed payments. Elsewhere in the interview, he discusses the challenges of group dynamics in the entertainment industry, highlighting how talented groups often break up due to outsiders influencing individual members, causing separation and strains in relationships.

Ali is a rapper too, but nobody really asks him questions about his life, it’s always just him ranting about Nelly. The fact the interviews are never about himself just shows he hasn’t really accomplished much. Whenever Dame Dash is asked about Jay-Z, he always tells them “I don’t wanna talk about Jay”.

I've heard Nelly's side and, despite being interrupted plenty of times, it was sequential and coherent. Ali's story is littered with what sounds like jibberish: from the whole "three wishes" to having to take shits on the road to a bunch of other nonsense. There might be some intertwining truth between the two, but Nelly's story was tight, easy to follow, and it just made more sense.

Even if they ever do have issues they don’t let it get in the way. People have to work with others that are willing and ready to he on the same page. Going solo should never cause a problems in a group but the only time it does is when you start letting people say to you that you don’t need your group.

@Coco-fi4mv Bone and Wu Tang blew up together. Nelly blew up and carried the rest of the Lunatics with him…big difference. Plus Bone have to perform together because none of them had strong solo careers.

[@slickrick8046]

@@ronaldwilliams4053 Nelly’s 2nd album went 7x platinum, his 3rd went platinum, his 4th went 3x platinum, and his 5th album went gold. Plus he’s been on songs with popular country artist as well. The record label wanted just Nelly and not the Lunatics. Nelly worked out a deal that if his 1st album sold 250k…the other guys would get contracts and a solo album. The problem was that the Lunatics signed away 100% of their publishing on their 1st contract that Ali got them in. Nelly brought his publishing rights back, and Ali and the rest of them didn’t. So it’s not Nelly’s fault that they were dumb.

1:00 Great Interview Question⚡‼

[@BeyBrightOfficial]

Bro.. if the St. Lunatics were the Jackson 5.. Nelly was Michael Jackson! Period end of story! Now.. Ali has to understand that we all have seen the group and the inconvenient truth is that Ali had the least charisma in the group besides Kiwan. Nelly and Murphy were the stars of the group! Ali’s rap voice and style wasn’t special. He may have been the leader but his talents just didn’t resonate with the fans as much as Murphy Lee and Nelly! Those are the facts! I’m not saying that Nelly handled everything correctly but I believe that Ali has to accept the situation and move forward with his life in a positive direction and reinvent himself. He can never beat Nelly in the court of public opinion. I pray they all find peace and closure.

@@danilojones1618 it's obvious he didn't know buisness when he had them sign there publishing away after he already had a production deal and read the book all about the music industry. When Ali was leading they got nowhere soon as nelly became the leader they blew up and all got solo albums and put out a group album. And to clarify it. They got paid nelly paid him out of his pocket cause universal said F them niggas we don't care we want nelly. Country Grammer was gonna get pushed back cause thru didn't want the songs to come out unless they got paid so universal told nelly to pay them out his shit since those were his peoples. That's not the issue at all. They don't even got publishing to get paid off them songs the issue is nelly took care of Ali for 20 years and he got tires of his ungrateful ass and cut him off and Ali has no hustle or no businesses to fall back on so now he's mad cause nelly won't keep giving him money. Grown ass man who is older then all of them. Had an opportunity with a solo album and just being near to nelly to blow up from the platform and didn't take advantage of the opportunity.
