What’s life like for G-Unit’s Tony Yayo now that he’s outta jail? With a million dollars in a bank account, Yayo has spent the last two weeks purchasing a Bentley and a Porsche Cayenne, jewelry from Jacob and much more.
“It feels good to come home to a million dollars in the account, you know?” Yayo told MTV. “I really didn’t do anything, you know? And I got a million dollars in my account so it feels beautiful. My boy took care of me, so I know the love is there. Usually when a person’s in a bad predicament, their people ain’t gonna look out for them. But me? I had to tell 50 to stop sending me money”. Tony Yayo knows hip-hop heads are well aware of who he is even though he has been locked down for the past year and isn’t upset at the success the rest of G-Unit has received.
“I didn’t feel left out because everywhere you go, you see ‘Free Yayo,’ ” he said. It just excited me to see Em with a ‘Free Yayo,’ shirt. You see 50 with the ‘Free Yayo’ campaign going on in the videos. They didn’t forget about me”. Currently Yayo is in the studio locking down material for his own solo album to hit the streets later this year. But if the Captain of the team isn’t feeling, Yayo has no problems starting over. 50’s a star. Banks is a star. I’m a star. Young Buck’s a star. Everybody’s a star. I’m on the dream team. There’s no way we’re gonna lose. I got an album done already — in 12 days. album is just gonna be street, gonna be ‘hood. I’m trying to make the crime rate go up. I just hope 50 OK with it. Whatever he likes, he likes. Whatever he don’t like, he scraps it.”
