Another one bites the dust on Cash Money, but this time it is a “peaceful situation,” according to Bow Wow. In a video message posted explaining his motivation for parting ways with the label that Birdman built, the 28-year-old rapper outlines his business move, announcing that he has teamed up with Jermaine Dupri and Snoop Dogg. In the six minute clip, Bow Wow clarifies the situation.
“I got so much respect for Birdman, a lot of respect,” he said. “This is a man who took a risk on signing me, not only that, but a person who opened up his space to me […] I never had other issues that a lot of other artists are having, I never had that with him.”
Sharing the motivation behind his decision, Bow Wow’s grievances with Cash Money mirrored that of Lil Wayne, Tyga and Lil Twist, who both pointed to delays in music releases as their issue with the label. He assured that he had a slew of records that never reached fans due to his now-previous record deal.
This. I knew he was signed to them once upon a time but I thought that was before he stopped making music. I mean was he even doing anything with them anyways?
Not like it made a difference. He should move into better things. Music certainly isn't for him. As a rapper, you need a dedicated fan base to sell records (hence why a lot of rappers are not affected by the recent music decline) and I don't ever see Bow wow having that huge fan base. If he's wants moderate single success, he should work with DJ Mustard for the generic urban track.
