Yep, these guys always laughing but don't know the process. This is standard operating procedure for Bankruptcy. You have to show that you're

insolvent

Merriam‑Webster
Legal Definition of insolvent. 1 : having ceased paying or unable to pay debts as they fall due in the usual course of business — compare bankrupt. 2 : having liabilities in excess of a reasonable market value of assets held. 3 : insufficient to pay all debts <an insolvent estate>

A bankruptcy lawyer can get an appraiser to devalue your assets and if the plaintiff doesn't challenge the value, the judge is going to keep it moving.
People in a good financial position don't file for personal bankruptcy period. That ain't a savvy move it's something you do when you're financially fukked and can't pay your bills. Even if he's playing the system a little you'd rather not even be thinking about doing something like rather than being in a position where it's an attractive option.

Many people would rather have the cash on hand to invest or some shyt and make the monthly payments because they can afford them.

everybody from the last decade of hip hop is struggling.
I know a super producer from that era, said he was getting paid 50K just to sit in sessions, not even produce just sit in and sort of "oversee" things
the ones that found success in ventures outside of music (acting, fashion, technology) are doing fine though

but seriously. look at who came up between 2002-2009 and look at them now.
this was hip hop's PEAK financially and now the ones that bought up the music are taking over :sas1:

Whut.

Those two are ICE COLD out in the real world breh. They are running NOTHING. In fact Macklemore is desperately trying anything and he's getting a solid push but no one cares. He just got lit up tough for his attempt to make a dance song. Iggy's follow up album got tossed in the bushes till she comes with another single, which isn't happening.

:snoop: As if Iggy and Macklmore are bigger than Future and Drake right now :snoop:

Who said it was savy? Who said it was smart? I'm saying when you file the modus operandi is to show you're insolvent i.e. show you can't pay and to devalue your assets. That's is all I said, and sometimes bankruptcy can be smart if it alleviates some of your debt if you're willing to pay. Most times it is used to negotiate.

Macklemore might be touching more money than Future, he's independent, touring, selling an insane amount of singles and is getting YouTube royalties. He's probably worth a solid 15-20 Ms
