Having launched the careers of Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Drake, the famed music label has seen many of its top acts depart. But its founders have a plan to keep minting millions.

Cash Money’s founders deny any nefarious activity and argue that the contractual conflicts stem from the fact that many of their artists aren’t familiar with the music business when they arrive. “Contracts haven’t been done, producer agreements haven’t been done, samples haven’t been cleared,” Brown says. “Ninety percent of the time, it’s not that we owe them money. It’s that other people worked to get paid that they didn’t know had to get paid.

“Rappers still clamor to sign to Cash Money, regardless of their business reputation and regardless of the fallout with many of the original artists,” says Day, who says she had to sue Cash Money to get her fee two decades ago. “Would I ever do business with them again? Hell no. But their history and impact can’t be denied. They’re brilliant.”s Slim’s car rolls through Miami, following closely behind Birdman, a song about Maybachs blasts through the sound system.

Birdman is used to spending all his time in the studio to help fulfill such prophesies, sometimes to the detriment of his personal life, he says. But even as he rolls out Cash Money’s next generation, there are signs of a change. Earlier this year, he and singer Toni Braxton got engaged. Birdman claims to have mended his relationship with Lil Wayne. And he’s even thinking of getting his galaxy of face tattoos removed.

Nobody wants cash money Bc no matter how good they seem they have had artist come after drake and nicki and could not market them correctly or put them in a place to become bigger. Both nicki and drake Operate independently.

Lol nope. First rule of business, you have to pay your talent.

If they was really balling those all cables would be underground and not fucking up the view.

Yeah hmu

What they really need to do is get those classic BGHollyHood albums on Spotify.

If they actually pay their artists their checks then perhaps. But after keeping Wayne hostage for like 5 years I doubt they can strike again

✊🌝🔥

If they can sign people with actual talented people who can do things and not no hot at the moment one hit wonder mfs then yes.

Who would sign to them after they did Wayne so dirty
