SOHH Squad
After reports flooded the Internet about ex-Cash Money Records artist Turk going after Birdman's empire for over $1 million, the Louisiana native tells SOHH the hype is real.
Turk confirmed the headline-generating reports and also explained what sparked his hefty lawsuit against Cash Money.
“The reason why I sued now is because I realized that me being loyal has gotten me nowhere in this business!! It’s my attorney’s decision that it was in my best interest to sue after several attempts to settle this matter privately. Now we wait for the next chapter!! Wodie.” (SOHH)

Reports this week revealed Turk had sued Birdman for over $1 million.
According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Turk claims Birdman and Cash Money have done some shady accounting and kept the info on his real earnings under wraps … and he wants his money. Looks like Turk and Weezy had a chat because Turk says the label broke its deal with him — and just like LW … he’s demanding a judge hand over rights to all of his music. Turk wants the court to void his contract and give him at least $1.3 million in damages. (TMZ)
Earlier this week, Turk talked to SOHH about rap star Lil Wayne‘s issues with Cash Money.
“It is what it is, we don’t want no problems. We just want our money. That’s just the bottom line. It’s overdue. We’re all grownups and that’s what it’s about. [Lil] Wayne feels the same way. It’s all old news to me [with Wayne’s Cash Money problems]. It’s kind of like, yeah, it was just about when. It happened from the time when we left. When we left, people thought it was a publicity stunt then. You gotta sit back and see how it all turns out.” (SOHH)
On his “CoCo” freestyle, Weezy F. Baby describes his loyalty to Cash Money amid labelmates leaving throughout the mid-2000’s.
“Who kept this sh*t together? N*gga, me, that’s who. Who was there when n*ggas left? N*gga, me, that’s who / Cash Money is an army, I’m a one man army / And if them n*ggas comin’ for me, I’m goin’ out like Tony …”Now I don’t want no problems, I just want my money – Birdman Jr., more like Ugly Duckling.” (“CoCo” Freestyle)

1.3m seen like a lot of money tho specially since the hotboyz earnings have to be split four ways and turk wasn’t the big seller during his cmr days. If they really owe him that I hope slim n baby pay him as the nigga might really need the bread
Yeah but you gotta also look at songs he might of wrote for others and hooks he might of came up with and didn’t get paid for. You know Cory Gunz and Jae Millz might be going through the same thing.
There is nothing wrong with being loyal unless you are loyal to the wrong person.
Man ppl eyes need to really open THEY ARE GETTING READY TO TAKE HIPHOP from us not as a culture of course yall can have the culture but as a lucrative business homie. We don’t have that Roc a fella Bad Boy Ruff Ryder Cash Money empires. I’m not gonna go on a rant or vent but one of HOV favorite line of mine is “I’m overcharging niggas for what they did to the cold crush” and if you too young too know who the cold crush was ask ya dad or uncle mom’s somebody elder.
There’s a thin line between being loyal and being a fool
