Wayne could never leave. He said in a feds magazine back in the day that he thought about rolling with Jay-Z but he could never actually sign with him and it would have to be with Baby's blessing. Why you think BG, and Juvie never left for good either? They can't. Even when Mannie left they was blackballin' him and he still went back too. Turk got away I'm assuming because they abandoned him while he was in the joint. Once his pops passed and no one reached out then he finally realized they really aint give a f@ck about him at all. I don't give a damn what no body say either, BG and Gangster or either brothers or father and son. I say that to say this: Gangster is a real original street Hot Boy and BG still got screwed! Even BG said he couldn't believe that they would do that to him.
I'm tired of people calling the victims dumb. These guys were ripped of. Evidently there is a system in place that leeches off of entertainers and there is nothing the said entertainer can do after the fact. I'm seeing the same pattern in Hip Hop as well as sports where these accountants are stealing millions of dollars from people but never go to jail and their clients can't ever seem to get it back. There is more to this than just "dumb nikkas". Probably organized crime or something. IF this story is even true. At this point idk what's real anymore.
but like the nfl with crime.. you focus on the 10 big names who this happened to over time... but not the thousands of multimillionaires who didn't get screwed or cheated out of dough
why?? cause they hired reputable people.. they weren't passing off papers like "file my taxes" or signing shyt without reading.. etc etc
best practice is to hire two accountants and never tell them about each other and file the same paperwork always... then after they match up.. take it to a third for overview
now yes... some kid from the hood, high 24/7, fukking bytches, writing music, moving round the country, big "brother" in the game telling them "hey its ok, just sign this".. same with signing these fukked up deals.. they are not well educated on reading them and then they hire the same lawyer as the label
but be clear.. this is not the norm or the majority of what happens
