You can tell Chingy still has respect for them despite how things played out. But it's funny how they stopped communicating with him instead of clearing it up and proving they didn't steal...I think the lawyer was telling the truth!

[@bjvu9460]

Chingy was just happy to make it whether they stole from him or not ... If the lawyer says they are stealing that means he found something in the contract that would suggest so. Now, why would you schedule a meeting and accuse them of stealing if that wasnt the case? at least have the lawyer explain why he thought they were stealing and where were they taking that money from or rather where should you have been paid that they didnt disclose.. Little wayne was in the same situation for years until someone gave him game that daddy was stealing from him and baby fought it to the end and then gave him his 40 million ... Poor chingy is still confused

I've always respected Chingy for what he did in the early 2000s. I was only 10 years old when Jackpot came out and I literally heard that album everywhere. I definitely would not consider him to be one of worst rappers at all. There is a laundry list of artists deserving of that title though.

Chingy wasn't even in the same universe as worst rapper. I was around 20 qhen Jackpot came out, and everyone loved that whole thing. I hate to think that Luda would have done anything dishonest to his artists. He made so much great music

Chingy wanted to be signed with JD, and I like that he mentioned Kris Kross (RIP Chris Kelly), liked how he mentioned the actress from Cosby show. This interview is so good. I could listen to this all day. This interviewer should have interviewed Fredro Starr. But I like Chingy's videos. I wanted him to work with Brandy back then. The industry is full of snakes and greed. I'm not surprised that they were stealing money from Chingy. He did the right thing. We missed him because he just disappeared. I am glad he is saying that having a lawyer is important. A lot of artists are being controlled and manipulated financially and they don't even know it until it's too late. It's great to him share his story. His mother would be so proud of him because he didn't sound bitter and in pain like other artists. Chingy just seems to move past it and moved on. But he still made sure his voice is heard regardless. His storytelling never changes and he keep it real.
