2 Chainz said Birdman once asked for $100,000 just to connect him with Lil Wayne for a feature, but a pair of red Gucci sneakers and a Beat CD ended up completing the job for free.
Atlanta rappers share the story on the latest “Shay Shay Club Shay” episode, revealing how Birdman operates with a high-priced middleman.
“Wayne is too hot,” said 2 Chainz. “If anyone wants Wayne, [Birdman] Like, “I need 100 too,” people obviously do it. ”
The six-figure cost is not the poetry itself, but the gatekeeper loss.
2 Chainz did not reach Lil Wayne through Birdman, but took a different route. Something unexpected happened after giving Wayne a pair of red gucci shoes and handing him a beat CD.
2 Chainz said: “We went from the airport to the mall because he thought I wanted to thank me for buying my shoes.” “And then blue, he said, ‘What do you think of the hook I made for you?'”
Caught off guard, 2 Chainz didn’t know what Wayne was talking about. It turns out that Wayne sent the track to the wrong email address.
They went straight to the studio so 2 Chainz could hear it. He recalled, “I said, ‘Man, did you do it for me?’ He liked it, ‘Yes. ””
That song ended up being “Davler Bag Boy”, the first single from Playaz Circle in 2007, which was a breakthrough hit.
Even after finishing the song, Birdman still asked him to lay off employees.
“Wayne did not charge me when he did this,” 2 Chainz said. “Baby still wants his 100.
Eventually, Birdman lets it slide. “Don’t worry,” he told him.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, 2 Chainz also mentioned that he might never have met Lil Wayne if it weren’t for the $900 weed debt.
