Chinara Butler was part of the team that released Pimp C‘s posthumous Long Live the Pimp album earlier this month.
Pimp C’s son, Chad Butler, Jr. released a statement saying he was not involved in the project’s creation and said his father would be disappointed.
“The only person who benefits is his wife Chinara,” he said, “who doesn’t return phone calls or communicate with us at all, and possibly our sister Christian, but even that is debatable. My father was always supportive of myself and my brother, and I know he wouldn’t want us to be forgotten as a part of his legacy.”
Butler spoke with Billboard about these comments and said she is “disheartened” by them. She explains that the proceeds of the album go to Pimp C’s estate, which benefits all of his children.
According to DJs Doing Work, the album credits show publishing rights under The Estate of Chad Butler/ASCAP. Butler also released a letter of direction from 2008 with Bug Music, which lists herself Dahcorey Turner (Corey Butler), Chad Butler II and Pimp C’s daughter Christian Butler as “Grantor” of the publishing deal.
And getting your mom pregnant is our job chump
Don’t feed the trolls.
You are right
Sorry hes right. JUICY you fucked this up. R.I.P PIMP C
Should have been a UGK album anyway SMH. Pimp dropped a solo album but that’s not what he was known for. If you had that many unreleased Pimp verses, why would you not get with Bun B and let him sit down with you and walk through the whole project and make sure it sounds like what they would do if Pimp was alive. That could have been fire to have a whole new UGK album with Bun B involved and all those Pimp verses. Now we get 1 Bun B collaboration and then songs with a whole bunch of other dudes.
Yea fuck bun
Jesse Is Heavyweight is always talking about Pimp C. Pimp C was before my time but he mustve been big in Texas!
Sounds like the kid wanted a bigger stake in his pops album. If they would of got involved that album would of been postponed until who knows.
