Boosie Badazz has called out Empire Records. During a social media livestream, the “Wipe Me Down” rapper, who was formerly known as Lil Boosie, claimed that the label failed to pay him accordingly for his artist Yung Bleu.
On Saturday, July 1, the 40-year-old made the claim through an Instagram Live as he greeted his fans online. During the livestream, he could be heard saying, “You wouldn’t play with me like this, bro.” He went on to bluntly spoke, “Pay me my f**king money, bro. Y’all forget my f**king signature, bro.”
The hip-hop artist additionally warned the label by saying, “Now you and all parties involved will receive paperwork. If not Monday, then this Tuesday, it’s just this, okay? Now you all hit back. Now.” He further asked them for a response, “You wanna hit back now? What up, bro?”
A few months prior, Boosie spilled his plan on taking the label to court. During a March interview on VladTV, he stated, “I gotta take everybody to court. Yung Bleu aint really in it; it’s just the people who was behind it. They did some messed up business, and its gonna come back to haunt everybody. I was just f**ked over, bro. I don’t really blame Bleu, but I got them. This s**t is crazy.”
“You gotta understand, you got so many people trying to come in … These other labels came in and tried to X me out, and this man signed to me,” he continued. “S**t just get crazy when you get to making money, man … I feel like we gonna get through it. I dont want his money; I want him to have all the money! I want they money!”
Back in September 2020, Boosie received praises from Yung for allowing him to leave the former’s label, Badazz Music Syndicate, to develop his career independently. “I came to Boosie and told him I still wanted to rock with the brand but not signed to Columbia no more,” Yung explained in an interview with HipHopDX at that time.
“I just wanted to rock independently, without a major label and Boosie was cool with it. He just wanted me to give him his profit and participation on the albums that I had left with him and I did,” Yung continued explaining.
“I was going to do that either way, whether we had a contract or not, because I had albums still left with him and he aint have to let me go. He aint have to let me go free and go sign a deal, you feel me? But he did. I respect the man and we got a different type of relationship. I’m still Bad Azz, though. I’m Bad Azz for life,” he added.
