After her son posted an Instagram rant last week about not being paid for performances, Bobby Shmurda’s mother and manager Leslie Pollard refuted the claims in a statement to Billboard.
Last week, Shmurda wrote in part, “I’m doing all theses show not getting ma money dey got me doing shit every fucking day.”
“It’s not that he’s not getting paid, it’s that he’s new to the business,” Shmurda’s mother told Billboard. “There’s a chain of command that he has to go through before he gets his payment. I guess he’s thinking all the money should go from the front man to his hands—it doesn’t work like that. Of course they hold onto it so he actually does the show. Then it goes to his business manager, then to the touring accountant, and then to him.”
Pollard added that Shmurda was “just impulse talkin” and claimed that they had nearly resolved the issue according to Billboard.
Bobby Shmurda’s debut release as an Epic Records artist will arrive on November 10 in the form of a five-track EP. Shmurda She Wrote will include the young rapper’s two singles to date, “Hot Nigga” and “Bobby Bitch.”
Yesterday, HipHopDX reported that Bobby Shmurda’s song “Hot Boy,” the radio-friendly version of his street single, clocked in at #4 on the R&B/Hip Hop singles chart. Last week Shmurda’s single sold 49,618 and entered the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for the first time in the process.
he needs to get his dumbass a real manager before his hood momma fucks it all up… he will have no longevity in the music industry so they gotta get all the money they can while its still possible
What? This is so fucked up in every way.
How can someone do “shows” with only two songs?????
He’s done mixtapes.
LOL
“Hey everyone. What’s good? Y’all ready to have a good time?”
*six minutes later*
“Alright, y’all. Thanks for coming. I’m out.”
Welcome to that 360 deal ya took!
change ur management dogguwe can tell u signed a boofy ass dal don’t let momma pimp u hold it donn!
POP holdin it down
Another evil hoodrat exploiting her child through a “management” role. This bitch is stealing from her son.
I mean seriously, she’s the one that raised the little dirtbag in the ghetto, he managed to find a “talent” to make himself some real money and do better, and she feels entitled to a piece of that?
^^And the problem is…?
the problem is she did a horrible job as a mother and this kid still found a way to overcome it, yet this bitch still has her hands in his pockets like he owes her something. she was obviously more of a detriment in his life than a positive influence, look how he turned out, a little hoodrat bastard.
nigga your momma was the one who raised you wrong, that bitch only teached you how to be a jealous cunt
^lets wait till yo kids decide to rap about bullshit they never lived
first waka, now this dude…
you’re not a man if your mom’s your boss
lol unless theyre mommas are not out there in the streets being a cheap ass local whore
Dude shouldn’t even be in the business anyway. Seems like all the garbage rappers are getting deals these days. Fuck Shmurda and the fans that think he’s good.
What’s with the hate on this? Bobby took a shitty lloyd banks song (which has a dope beat), used that beat, and did his own, far superior version. He made it better. That dance is pratically unique BTW.
HJAHAHAHAHAHAH
Sticking up for your G Unot crew that doesn’t know you exist?
Isn’t game going to thrash 50 with about 123-127k in sales this week?
Game is gonna do less than 30k first week wtf are you talking about. People just be throwin numbers out there I mean you can hate on 50 all you want but don’t fabricate the truth
Source:
http://news.hiphopearly.com/first-week-sales-games-year-wolf-soft/
That’s nothing but bullshit spewed from that unreliable source. Real tracking has shown 123-127k opening week.
listen here u fucking 5th grader, ur mom was just being a slut while banks was writing classics. u wanna compare when banks was 18 to this jibirish bs bobby shmurda is rapping about? banks is the only rapper that didnt downgrade, seriously take a look at his catalog and u can tell that banks lyrically is on top of his game..his been in the game in two different rap generations. he has mix tapes that are equivalent to albums. he has crazy skills when it comes to word play and delivery, he has lyrics which bobby shmurda has none, he has punchiness for days,,,he shits on game in every way, banks metaphors clearly go over ur stupid head u queer. bust rhymes , kanye, eminem, dr dre,snoop dogg, 50 cent, drake, they all think banks is one of the nicest in the game..most underrated rapper next to az!!! fuck u mean ho …every rapper downgraded and became trash including 50 and game, i mean look at fucking jada. from being on of the best to being almost nobody because he can’t keep up. look at jades songs that have dropped recently and tell me which one stands out. thats why i say banks is top 5 because he has most songs, he has pun clines and bars for days, lyrics,delivery,word play, metaphors and other shit. kanye said his top 5 so fuck u and ur motherfucking taste in music. go listen to dior flow and just see how banks kills kid cudi push t and kanye on kanyes song so fuck u and ur mom once again
Butthurt g guot groupie alert.
Anyway, People should be praising bobby. He took a shitty song and made it far better.
Game still has 4 no.1 albums.
game is not doin 100,00K+ off a compilation album you really are delusional. show me any source on the web, ANY that backs your “real-tracking”
Hitsdailydouble is reporting over 120k sales. Game wouldn’t be bombing like that. After all, he has 5 platinum albums.
Bobby took a good Lloyd Banks song and made a shitty version. Also, that dance is not unique as he’s dancing like a girl.
HitsDailyDouble are reporting that Game is about to do 30K. He’s bombing big time and he doesn’t have 5 platinum albums.
really because their numbers don’t match yours. you need to provide a link ANYWHERE stating that because you are lying. and these projections INCLUDE HITS DAILY DOUBLE
http://www.sohh.com/games-year-of-the-wolf-first-week-sales-projections-revealed/
c’mon SON!!! GAME calls it a group album when most the niggas on it aren’t even on Blood Money! he doin 25,000 MOST and lets be fair, that’s a nice 200,000 dollars independently but YOU SAYIN HE DOIN 124K IN 2014!?!?!? LMAO NEGRO TAKE A DAMN SEAT AND ENJOY THE DRAKE SHOW
ps i fucking hate drake
Its not Banks song though, he didn’t pay Jahlil for the beat. He doesn’t own shit. He debuted it on a mixtape, did nothing to promote it and nobody cared.
“Of course they hold onto it so he actually does the show. Then it goes to his business manager, then to the touring accountant, and then to him.”
^ it don’t work like that, lol
Then how does it work?
lol seriously how does it work? im not even doubting that, that isnt how it works. but how does it
Bobby took a good Lloyd Banks song and made a shitty version. Also, that dance is not unique as he’s dancing like a girl.”
How is his version shitty? After all, banks versions did not chart while shmurda made the top 10. It’s a unique dance. Just because its not typical doesn’t mean its not unique.
HitsDailyDouble are reporting that Game is about to do 30K. He’s bombing big time and he doesn’t have 5 platinum albums.
There was a typo when you visited it that was since corrected. He’s doing over 120k. Game said on larry king that he has 5 platinum albums. He also has 4 no.1 albums.
His version is shitty because he can’t rap and his song sucks. So what if it charted? It still sucks. The dance is not unique. Girls dance like that all the time. That makes Bobby even more gay (along with the gay ass song title, Hot Nigga).
That was no typo. HDD said he’s doing 30K and that’s that. Also, Game lied about having 4 platinum albums.
I even called hdd and they said they made a typ. Game did have 5 platinum albums in worldwide sales.
Anyway, you’re too old to fully understand the new way of rap from the best young rappers out there but Shmurda can still rap great. Also, he does the dance to seduce women, doesn’t make him gay. The song is autobographical.
You didn’t call anyone. HDD got it right and you’ll see how wrong you are when the sales comes in. Game does not have 5 platinum albums at all.
I’m not too old to understand anything. This is not anything new. Bobby Schmurda cannot rap, he sucks. He rhymes nigga with nigga ten times in one song, that’s a shitty rapper. Also, that dance isn’t trying to seduce any women, it’s a gay dance. That song is not autobiographical.
this nigga really said “i called HDD” smh there was no fuckin typo just take that L and stfu he shut yo ass down with 2 muthafuckin SOURCES and you was like “BUT I CALLED” lmfao you niggas are funny Game is makin songs called “THOT” and you callin it hip-hop lmao he a confused washed up gangsta rapper
HDD doesn’t usually get it right and I called them for confirmation. Game has 5 platinum albums from WORLDWIDE Sales meaning domestic plu sinternational.
Bobby can indeed rap. It’s just you have a hard time accepting newer niggas because they are replacing your old favorites like Feminem, Jay Z, Kayne West, and Dr Dre. Rappers rhyme nigga all the time, even your favorites. Also, it talks about him selling crack and having a hard life.
As for that dance, Gay People could indeed use that dance but straight guys use the dance to seduce females as well. I don’t hear you complaining about women using the dance to seduce other women.
HDD always get it right when it comes to sales projections. You didn’t call them at all. You can’t go platinum worldwide, you can only be platinum in one country, so Game doesn’t have 5 platinum albums.
Bobby can’t rap. He ain’t replacing any rappers. Hell, there’s newer rappers who are better than him (i.e. Kendrick Lamar). Only the terrible rappers rhyme nigga with itself. The song doesn’t talk about all of that shit you said he talks about.
No straight guy dances like that at all. If they tried it to seduce a woman, they would look gay.
no fam we all love Chance and Kendrick and Bronson and Joey and Rocky. but they have more than 1 good song and they have solid fanbases. no one really gives a shit about old rappers we know they legends but they can’t fuck wit a hot NEW nigga. and Feminem? really? lol that joke was WEAK
Name a good line off of Hot Nigga and Bobby Bitch.
They had mastermind at only 150k but it sold almost 30k more than that. Game self certifys his albums.
Kendrick doesn’t qualify since he’s rooted in pop. Bobby is hiphop and is replacing oldies on Jay Z and eminem (both which went pop). What’s the song about then?
Straight guys do it all the time. Gay ones do the dance too but girls are often attracted by this dance. Bobby’s paying tribute to that culture.
“They had mastermind at only 150k but it sold almost 30k more than that. Game self certifys his albums.”
Still doesn’t change the fact that Game is gonna flop.
“Kendrick doesn’t qualify since he’s rooted in pop. Bobby is hiphop and is replacing oldies on Jay Z and eminem (both which went pop). What’s the song about then?”
Do you even listen to music? Kendrick’s music is not pop at all and isn’t rooted in pop, it’s all rooted in and is hip-hop, more so than Bobby Schmurda, who isn’t gonna replace Jay Z and Eminem (who aren’t pop).
“Straight guys do it all the time. Gay ones do the dance too but girls are often attracted by this dance. Bobby’s paying tribute to that culture.”
Straght guys do not do that gay ass dance, only gay guys and women aren’t attracted by it. You’re admitting that Bobby pays tribute to gay culture.
Kendrick pop? You must be thinking of Drake who’s pop because K-Dot’s music is 100% hip-hop, 0% pop.
Just shut the fuck up hater.
Got no counter-argument? You lost.
1st L: You said Game was gonna do 124K
2nd L: When you got caught in your lie, you said you called
HDD (still LMAO at that one) and they told ONLY YOU that they
made a typo
3rd L: You said Kendrick is rooted in Pop music
Time for you to log off son
i bet this guy is like 40 in his mommas basement jerking off the more yall reply to him
The 2014 Trinidad James. One hit wonder ass nigga.
Trinidad James career ain’t over yet and bobby’s is only getting started.
Trinidad James got dropped from his label and is broke. His career is over and Bobby’s career is also gonna end when his song stops being popular.
RE: “Trinidad James career ain’t over yet and bobby’s is only getting started.”
i really do wish Bobby success even though history is NOT on his side regarding his path to success but Trinidad James really did become a joke and he could still make some money but he peaked. he can NEVER top All Gold Everything the same way i really can’t believe Bobby can top “Hot Nigga”
How did Trindad get dropped? Plus Bobby already has his bobby bitch single rising.
He said he got dropped in a Tweet. Also, Bobby Bitch ain’t rising at all, it’s flopping.
That’s a shame. It’s only his beginning though.
ALso, Bobby bitch (Great song BTW) just debuted.
No, it’s his end. And Bobby Bitch (which sucks ass as 3/4 of the song is him saying Bobby Bitch, again, lazy rapping/writing) is gonna flop.
Then tell me, what are the winning lottery numbers 10 years from now then if you’re so good at telling futures?
Plus Bobby bitch is a great gangster line.
There’s nothing great or gangster about Bobby Bitch, it’s trash.
saying bobby bitch over and over is not at all dope.
that song is so weak. you can’t have ALL EYES ON YOU
and drop that nonsense. the buzz will die. along with
most of his crew that honestly are 50x worse than him.
lmao niggas clown Banks for making one weak song when
Bobby will probably tell you himself that Banks will
rap CIRCLES around him. we talkin about rap right?
Bobby Schmurda is a Weak Rapper that is popular right
now. Have you niggas not learned yet that this yet?
Banks actual has creativity. He sells doo-doo numbers
and my nigga i mean DOO DOO numbers but fuck it, at
least you can tell skill was involved
I thought i had an elite chin but god damn this nigga got me sweating bullets!
LOLOLOL
Haha, took me a second to realize that it was a character from the Fairly Oddparents. Haven’t watched that in a long time.
This dude gay as fuck.
i doubt that but if by gay you mean OVERHYPED then yes i would agree. The quicker a nigga signs that major contract after gettin on, the worse off he is. Take the Mac Miller, Tyler the Creator route and START OFF INDEPENDENT. don’t lose your buzz then be like “oh yeah independence is beautiful”
*SHOTS FIRED AT G-UNIT*
you’re gay as fuck Gang members rape each other in prison especially 18th street and Bloods
Game outselling 50 by a 3-1 ratio. Game winning big. He’s even outselling that g unit album.
nigga has more features on his album than dj khaled and french montana put together and is only gonna sell between 27-30k… i heard jayceon taylor cant pay the rent.
It’s a fucking typo on HDD. It’s selling over 120k. And that last part is some bullshit made up by g unit.
How you gon ride this nigga dick, rappers make music and thats all that matters, what the fuck sales mean to you or anyone else
Stop hating and do your own thang, fucking losers always hating on one party or another even when the beef is gone years ago, only wasting time arguing on the internet about people who dont even know you exist, because you suckas dont even got no life. Bet yo ass game is laughing at yall along with 50, you really think because you kiss their asses on the internet they must think yall their fans? Thats no fans, just some haters.
Fuck DX Im out of here, all this site is now is some paid news from one single interview of mainstream artists and bunch of dumbass hating children in comment section.
@DX missed alot in hiphop just coz wasnt following nobody else for a month or so, you dont do your job right, thats some tmzass journalism. Weak!
FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLINGGSSSSSS WERE CAUGHT
You really sticking with the typo lie? HDD said he’s barely gonna do 30K, which will ge less than 50’s last album.
dude is a gangsta, lives in the hood, and sells crack right? yet his mom is his manager? if his mom was smart enough to do big business like managing things like this, they wouldnt be in the hood.
you from ny? you should know how it is here. everybody got circumstances that led em places or whatever.that’s anywhere for matter of fact. dont mean nothing, he put his moms on. bless the kid
moms needs to fall back and take her kick backs nah mean?
Leslie Shmurda
Drake and Bobby about to release a monster single together. Drake winning!!
“He’s new to the business” LOL and the mother is supposed to be some kind of vet in the game? Bitch is just making sure she’s getting her cut first…
I was about to say the same thing!! This bitch is hustling him.
“it doesn’t work like that. Of course they hold onto it so he actually does the show. Then it goes to his business manager, then to the touring accountant, and then to him.”
Umm that’s NOT how it works, business manager and then touring accountant? WTF is a Touring Accountant??? Something is very fishy here
Exactly
I bet Deb Atney is laughing at this fraudulent broad, promoters treating her like a victim and Epic collecting
and NO, I’m not exposing game for the losers, start paying attention
This dude is mad gay. 1st of all he can’t even rap! Let alone rhyme! This whole thing is becoming a Circus.
Black People wanna get pissed off at the white CEO’s and at the Industry for killing Hip Hop and yet here are these fools dancing like monkeys to Shmurda at BET Awards.
GFTOH
then fvck off and macklemore it up fruitcup
If he couldn’t rap, Hot Nigga wouldn’t be in the top 10. Just because you hate him doesn’t mean he can’t rap.
Hot Nigga didn’t become famous off his raps. It got famous off that dance and that “week ago” line, which I’m still confused at how that line became popular.
Bobby can’t rap and the song being a hit doesn’t mean he can.
Quit being jelly. You know that if your favorite artist were to do that exact song, you would be on their dick.
^ But my favorite artists don’t make dumb music like this.
To be fair they tried dancing to Taylor Swift but it just felt weird.
bro white people blew this song up ahaha…you’re actually a fucking idiot! Without the white people hyping this shit it would be just another hot song..its a fucking HIT because of you stupid fucks
Everyone knows street raps don’t do numbers
Epic Records epic fail
yeah they just dropped Slowbucks group
SO basically “HIS MOTHER IS STEALING THE MONEY” because she know that 15 minutes is almost done….
And who is booking a dude with ONE song….
Shit he should have to pay the club
“WTF is a Touring Accountant??? Something is very fishy here”
Do you blame her? It’s either stay home and battle roaches while watching Family Feud, or embezzle whatever her retard son can generate from doing shows.
