In the first of a two-part interview with Nah Right, industry insider Wendy Day explained to writer Jimmy Ness how she helped broker deals like the signing of No Limit Records to Priority and a $30 million distribution deal with Universal for Cash Money.
Running down a number of behind-the-scenes stories, Day, who founded the non-profit organization Rap Coalition in 1992, detailed how Cash Money long operated as a shady business by not paying employees, rent, and associated business operations expenses. When the company and Birdman continually refused to pay her for her services, Day explained that Birdman was forced to apologize by gunpoint by rapper Freddie Foxxx.
“They just cut off communication,” she said when asked about not being paid by the label. “At one point, one of my artist friends bumped into Birdman and put a gun to his head and made him call and apologize to me, which he did. He [Birdman] called me up and said “oh, your friend just pulled me out of Hot 97 and I’m here on the street, on my knees and I want to apologize to you. I really didn’t care about the apology. I wanted to know, why would somebody shit on someone that changed their life for the better? I just couldn’t wrap my head around that and he couldn’t really give me a good answer. Maybe because he was a little scared himself based on the situation.”
Day added on, “He [Birdman] said to me, ‘sue me, when I have to pay you, you’ll get paid.’ He said it very nonchalantly and very matter-of-factly, and as time wore on I saw that he didn’t pay anybody. He didn’t pay the t-shirt manufacturers, he didn’t pay the Fruit of Islam for security, he didn’t pay security guards for security, he didn’t pay his staff, he didn’t pay his office rent. They didn’t pay anybody.”
When asked about the artist that forced the apology, Day admitted that it was Freddie Foxxx.
“It was actually Freddie Foxx and I think that he has spoken about it so I don’t think it’s incriminating,” she said, “plus more than seven years have passed.”
Elsewhere in the interview Day detailed her work with Tupac Shakur—”it was for his company to set up day-care centres, a record label and community centres” she said—and dealings with G-Unit, Slick Rick, Master P, and more.
The second part of Jimmy Ness’ conversation with Wendy Day will include details of her role in helping Dr. Dre discover Eminem and more about her experience in the industry.

Not hard to believe. 40 Glocc who got beat down one handed by a former male stripped had Baby and Wayne too scared to get out of their truck.
i bet you jerked off to that video
i know i did
that 40 glocc is sweet
Freddie Foxx doesn’t play. A member of the Gangstarr Foundation, he challenged Tim Dogg to a charity boxing match and called the dawg out when he was a no-show
lmao Bumpy knuckles had that south nigga shook
Don’t hate the south, hate your mother for fucking a south nigga then running him off.
Lol, u mad? lil southern corny azz faggot.
@anon bitch ass internet coward wouldn’t say shit to nobody’s face fucking pussy. Bitches mad that the south took over the rap game and ny niggas haven’t had a good artist since 50 in 2003 and now that nigga washed lmao.
That’s actually funny, since DJ Premier, a producer who has worked prominently with Freddie, is from the SOUTH.
Whoops.
You’re a clown, as are these niggas who replied and I’m from NY…
Birdman dont wanna pay anybody… not even the bitch who made that Universal deal happen for Cash Money which put him in the position he’s now in.
Funny tho as Birdman is the real bitch here.
Not surprised they all industry thugs court papers show that
Damn it took a gun to the head for birdman to apologzie for fucking people over
then he went right back to doing it, business as usual
Theyre notorious for not paying their producers too.
Love how Birdman’s faggot ass flaunts his wealth but he can’t pay for shit. Cars, clothes, employees, producers, etc. dude is a fucking joke.
I agree he’s a joke, but he probably is rich, a lot of niggas would be rich if they didn’t pay for shit!!
I heard about this story years ago lol and I’ve got DVD with 40glocc callin Wayne Tryin to get him to come out his tinted tour truck. Lil Wayne was scared to come out. I heard he said he wasn’t in the truck. But he got filmed comin out of the truck by lol
the whole cash money/young money is a fcking joke! its no secret that they don’t pay their artist! if you’re name ain’t wayne, drake or nikki then yo ass ain’t getting shit. 2 many former employees have all said the same things. where there’s smoke there’s fire and cash money been shitting on their artist for years! only gay teenagers & bitches like there shit anyway
Much respect to REAL street niggaz like Freddie Foxxx, Mop, Sean Price, Big Shug, Blaq Poet etc.
Turdman takes another L, lol. These dudes from the south are str8 up pussyboys, smh.
Co fuckin sign
Don’t forget Kanye, he the streetest nigga of all!!
Your mother’s a pussyboy. And if Southern artists are garbage why are your artists up north imitating? Down south home to real hustlers. Labels like No Limits, Cash Money, and Rap A Lot made millions and were born and raised in the hood. What New York labels can you equate that too? Artists like the Almighty Outkast went Diamond with it dying, what can yall relate that too? You can’t compare, we took your art and owned it. Ol fuck ass New York dick riders. Smdh
Lol, looks like I hit a nerve.
That faggot azz shit yall listen to today aint hiphop, its garbage. And none of the cats I mentioned try and imitate those corny niggas from the south lol, I listen to real hiphop u fuckin lil trend following bitch haha.
Its jus a fact that niggas from the are pussys in general and wouldnt last a day on these NY streets.
Lol, you support niggas who kiss each other on the lips LMAO.
Only on a shitty hiphop site can I find anonymous idiots drowning on about irrelevant street cred.
Fuck Freddie Foxxx. Birdman has all the gangstas in the south nobody cant touch him in the street. Fuck this old bum. Birdman shits on him.
Birdman is older than him
Birdman is a bitch and fake as fuck.
Right, that’s why he got punked by Freddie Foxxx… oh wait
Freddie Foxx doesn’t even need a gun to punk Birdman. They don’t call him bumpy knuckles for no reason. He’s a beast!!!!
Freddie can ram my butthole any time! You know he be large!!
I ain’t really into bitches but she cool, if she wore a strap-on, I’d let her ram my punk ass.
Hey Kyle, u want a gauge shoved up up your faggot ass?
I sure do big boy HMU @peakekyle
Wendy must have been giving Freddie Foxxx likes sloppy toppy or something!!. He used to run with the original paid in full crew and has street cred but has def backed down from certain individuals in the street. Birdman def believable though.
birdman is a hoe…bwhaha..cash money punks…
birdman is corny..i knew he was a bitch…punk ass south rappers aint hard…all they do is suck wayne off…bwhaha
tell that to yella boy, the former cash money rapper birdman had killed after he disrespected him and shot up his truck
I fuck with Bumpy, but he wouldn’t be able to pull that off in the N.O, or anywhere else besides NY
……….and u know this how??? Lol.
That might be true. Everyone is the man in their own hood or city but the realest cats can touchdown anywhere without a worry.
Shut the fuck up nigga.
Hot 97 is downtown Manhattan. That ain’t no one’s hood. To hold the steel to a bitch nigga out there is straight gangster. Cops grab your balls just for being black down there. Freddie is ice cold OG for life, don’t be a faggot.
It’s crazy how ya’ll call me a fag but yall bumpy’s dick down ya throats. If ya’ll so tough, why don’t ya’ll try it out? I bet my left nut ya’ll don’t have the heart to force anyone to do shit. Ya boy gangster as fuck but can’t run a business huh?
……..da fuck u talkin about faggot??lol
hahaha. bumpy knuckles punked bird man like the bitch he is in new orleans
This dude is def the next to blow..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tMf7iGvANs
Wish Freddie woulda blasted this fake homo thug in his face.
These comments coming from the same losers on wshh talking shit about the south but the south is the most imitated rap music out now. That is a fact. East coast hasn’t had a dominate rap artist in over a decade.
hello? ever heard of TROY mahfuckin AVE>????
Look at Soundscan you dumb shine
Hip hop is still being dominated by artists who first came up 15 years ago
In the last ten years, here’s the ones who have sold 3 million or more copies of an album: Kanye (who’s a fag), Eminem, Wayne, 50. That’s it.
No coast, no region is dominating anything. Shut the fuck up.
you should read the full interview crazy how this white woman spent her own money and lost her house getting no limit and cash money these incredible deals and she never wanted paid for it she’s just a good person.
Birdman and master p are pieces of shit who never paid their artists and that hurt her more than anything.She should have got the LOX a great deal they the most humble loyal niggas around and that’s why the streets love D-Block
Birdman’s a fucking piece of shit, fucking faggot doesnt pay anyone. Dude really got a construction company suing him smfh
Well it was actually a gang of male strippers dressed up as a construction crew but whatever, just know Birdman gargles semen
freddie put that steel in Benzinos mouth too. plus he had RZA’s new crooked business partner Bob Perry jumpin out windows when he came up to Landspeed records tryna get paid!
why they used “centre” instead of “center” lol dx yall british or sunthin?
Let’s be real for a moment…if anyone gets a gun put their head and told to apologize, they will…if they’re smart at least. Birdman has family and children to take care of. But I guess there are idiots who would rather die over their pride. “He died but at least he ain’t go out like no bitch” gfoh. Make sure they put that dumb shit on your tombstone.
Bumby Knuckels baby….he walks like he spits that G code
I’m sure this happened…Birdman is a supreme taker….that’s where lil’ wayne learned all his “no payin'” shit from….
Freddie Foxx doesn’t fuck around.
dun kno’ FREDDIE FOXXX’s real, for true.
dun kno’ that FREDDIE FOXXX’s real, for true.
Dont fuck wiht Bumpy Knuckles! hahahaha Birdman is a bitch. All the niggaz listening to Birdman and LIl wayne are closet homos

BUMPY KNUCKLES BABY, BUMPY KNUCKLES BABY.
Seriously hhdx? “By gun point”???? Its “at gun point”…..even foreigners know that……i gues jay balfor doesnt…..idiot

NY niggas reclaim the W
Freddy Foxxx is a real OG!!!…just dont fuck around!!.
This story would’ve been more impressive if he didn’t use a gun. Guns are for the weak. Anybody in their right mind would lay down for gun.
It happens. Your favorite rapper has been checked before. Wutang got ran out of Htown back in the day. Tupac got shot at in the club in Arkansas too. You get caught slipping anywhere. Biggie got kidnap in Oakland. Shit happens
It’s Bumpy Knux baby, Mr. don’t give a fuck baby
Mr. twin Glocks all in your mouth, wassup baby?
LOL! I knew birdman wasnt shit.
