Everyone that made money with Lyor or any executive says that they are cool people, everyone that starts flopping and shyt says that they are snakes. That's how it was and how it will be, specially when you deal with rappers. Lyor was CEO of WMG, probably thousands of artists all over the world. His dealings with Waka couldn't have been close enough for him to ever hustle him. Just a pure guess, I would think that he has a 360 and still has to pay Atlantic/Warner for the shyt he's doing now, without them helping him.
Pretty much what waka said, he was the first and most important victim of lyors scheming and plotting.
You need proof that Rick Rubin doesn't like lyor Cohen? You obviously don't know the history of def jam and/or refused to read the honorable SKJs post that broke it down so do your googles homie. Rick Rubin didn't walk away from a million dollar company he started in a dorm room for the fukk of it.
When and where did he say anything about trust?
Simmons backed Lyor, which means that Russell is as untrustworthy, or perhaps they wanted to do different things.
Like Russell and Lyor wanted to keep it hiphop and Lyor wanted to expand into rock, which is what he did after Def Jam.
