Considering Birdman and Rick Ross are two rap figures that stunt the most, naturally, they stunt all over the video. Directed by Derick G, the two southern rappers pull up in their Maybachs to a private vault. Though one would be inclined to believe Birdman and Rick Ross are going to the vault to relieve it of its contents, they actually do the opposite. The duo arrive to the vault with armored trucks, bags on bags of cash, and gold bricks.

The beef between Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj is never going to end if things keep going in this direction.

Lil Kim recently gave an interview claiming she and Birdman were in talks to sign the Brooklyn rapper to Cash Money Records. She also said she brought a few records to the table during those talks. The records Kim says she brought to Cash Money were taken from her and used to create Nicki Minaj’s current style. The last allegation Lil Kim made was she was almost signed to YMCMB, but things fell apart when Nicki Minaj made it clear she wanted to be the only female rapper in the Cash Money stable.

Birdman went on MTV 2′s video countdown show Sucker Free and denied all of Lil Kim’s claims. Birdman spoke to DJ Envy about the Lil Kim interview and basically said no artist on YMCMB needed to steal music from her because they all write their own original material. The Cash Money CEO told DJ Envy, “Wow. Nah, ain’t no truth to that I mean, we based on creativity. If you know about YMCMB, and you’ve ever followed us or been a part of our music, biting and stealing? That sh** just ain’t for us. All that rap war … all that, we ain’t … we just grinding for the money — sun up, sun down. It’s Nicki Minaj all day, every day.”

So who do you think is telling the truth? Birdman and YMCMB have been accused and sued for shady business practices, but Lil Kim did a year-long bid for lying in court.

Birdman recently sat down with Complex mag to discuss a variety of topics including Lil Wayne’s possible retirement from the game.

Birdman quickly responded to the possibility saying, “ He was saying by the time he hits 35 [he'd retire], I heard him say that. But nah, he’s on a mission right now. One thing about my son is that what he says is what he means. When he does retire, that’s when I’m going to stop fucking with it altogether because it ain’t gonna be no need. He’s going to take us where we need to go. When he retires, that’s when I stop.”

Read the rest of the interview with Birdman as he talks about the state of Young Money Cash Money, who will be bigger than Wayne and what he has learned since becoming CEO.

Cash Money Records Inks Signs Rock Band Limp Bizkit

The YMCMB empire continues to get even stronger. Following the recent additions of Busta Rhymes and Christina Milian, Cash Money Records has inked a deal with rock/rap band, Limp Bizkit.

Weezy called into a New York radio show announcing the rock band’s new affiliation with Cash Money Records.

“As far as Cash Money, they’re always listening and looking at acts, so honestly, it’s like every other day I hear about somebody new just signed to Cash Money,” the hip-hop star began. “The other day I just found out Limp Bizkit signed to Cash Money. So they’re signing everybody and everybody’s getting a chance.”

Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst also confirmed the news via Twitter (@FredDurst), writing:

“Rock sh** doesn’t rock anymore! They say the whole game done went pop, so I’m back in this ho! #CMLB.”

In addition to the alignment of Limp Bizkit and Cash Money Records, Lil Wayne also revealed another interesting tidbit within the camp — that singer Ashanti is working closely with YMCMB.

“I don’t wanna step across any boundaries, but I think we’re working with Ashanti right now,” he shared.

While may be “working” with the camp, it’s unclear if a deal is in the works. Ashanti launched her own label Written Entertainment last year, and is currently promoting her single “The Woman You Love” featuring Cash Money signee Busta Rhymes.

“Everytime I do something for myself, I like to do it for my son too,” says Baby.

That would explain the brand new black Bentley and red bow he presented to “son” Lil Wayne…just because.

The Cash Money boss, likes to spoil his team, no matter the cost! The Bentley Mulsanne is valued at around $285,000.

BIRDMAN HOPES TO ADD GOSPEL TO CASH MONEY ROSTER

Kenny Kixx — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:59:48 +0000

When Billboard magazine put together their annual “Power 100 List,” Hip Hop took a few prominent positions in the form of Jay-Z (listed with wife Beyonce) and “Birdman” (listed with co-founder/co-CEO Ronald “Slim” Williams).

Jay-Z and Beyonce took the highest spot of any Hip Hop/R&B contributors by being listed together at the number 13 slot. And Brian and Ronald Williams weren’t far behind at the number 25 spot.

The Williams Brothers have been responsible for selling over 75 million records since signing a $30 million pressing and distribution deal with Universal back in 1998. Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Drake, DJ Khaled and Nicki Minaj all record under either the Cash Money or YMCMB umbrella. The pair have also negotiated book deals and a YMCMB debit card all while eyeing a bigger haul.

“We dominate Rap, but we need to dominate R&B,” Birdman told Billboard. “We need to dominate Pop, Gospel, Country—we’re a brand so we should be able to put out all these types of music. We just got to keep grinding.”

Westmoreland identified Alfred Cleveland, a Cash Money employee, as her attacker. She recalled the events in court: “I was followed into the restroom, where he bit me on the cheek. I tried to pull his hands down, but he turned me around and pulled my jeans down.”

Westmoreland maintains Birdman wasn’t at the studio when the attack happened, but believes he had to have known it was going to happen. She is seeking an undisclosed amount of damamges.
