I give Wayne a pass for signing with CMR when he was so young. That was fine, and I give him respect for growing his craft and being able to sell enough records to hold Cash Money afloat all by himself while they searched for and eventually found more talent in Nicki and Drake.
But he eternally takes the L in my eyes for not leaving when he found out like all the rest that Cash Money was jerking their artists. He had all the information he needed and should have done the right thing for himself and left, but he stayed. Now some 10 years later he is owed god knows how many millions that Baby and Slim wont pay him, and hes trying to sue his way out; meanwhile the contract they have him on is starving his output and ability to earn.
He fukking played himself. And Nicki and Drake have played themselves too. I don't personally believe that Baby pays ANY of the artists over there right.... Ever. I think they eat solely on their endorsements and ancillary business endeavors while Baby and Slim string artists from contract to contract keeping them underwater. When and if Drake and Nicki refuse to sign that reup contract with Baby he will fukking shelve them and strangle their output the same fukking way until their contracts expire.
