You can tell Birdman has a problem right off the bat when you hear him speak. I gave him, I gave them. You didn't give them anything it was a contract, a business transaction and if the business transaction says this is how much they earn then that's how much they get. It doesn't matter how much you claim you give them or think you give them. They are owed what they are owed.

[@saminkhan5735]

Exactly! And had the nerve to bring up Forbes as leverage lmao like that's a part of the business transaction. It was not at all part of the business contract.

I'm from Louisiana and the issue of Birdman not paying his artists was well known out here. Cash money was making a million dollars a month at one point and instead of paying the OG CM team what they were owed, Birdman bought a car and told the guys it was everybody's car. He's a millionaire despite being a bad businessman, but he could have been the billionaire of an empire if he would have done it right
