B.G. has offered an explanation as to why Birdman appeared to fall asleep while performing with the Hot Boys.
Last month, a bizarre video went viral of the Cash Money mogul stood motionless on stage with his head down for over 15 seconds during a show with Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G. and Turk.

The clip left many fans concerned for Birdman’s health, but B.G. insists there is nothing to worry about and that his former label boss was not actually taking a nap.
Speaking to XXL, he said: “He was just reading the teleprompter, ya heard me? They just got him on a bad angle and we had a good laugh about it for a week. All of us laughed, josted off each other, josted off him because we thought it was funny.

“But it just really reminded me that the internet is really undefeated. Stunna ain’t never did no hard drugs. He always been strictly about the bag.”
Turk also previously addressed the clip and reassured fans that there was no need to be worried about Birdman’s wellbeing.

He said in an interview with Atlanta radio host B High ATL: “They gonna always turn something into something that ain’t, you know what I’m saying? We have different little moments where we have to look down and see what’s going on.
“Baby don’t give a fuck. Baby come right back out there the next day and talk some shit again. See, they put what they want to put out there. He came and he talked, and he talked his shit again the next show.”
Birdman and his former Cash Money signees have been busy on the road in recent months as part of the Hot Boys’ reunion tour.
The New Orleans collective are set to grace one of Hip Hop’s biggest stages next month when they accompany Lil Wayne for his headline performance at J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina.
