As a surprise blow to many of Cash Money Records fans across the globe, the Cash Money family has lost yet another member. Mannie Fresh has decided to leave the label and pursue a solo career.
“It’s official that I’m not with them no more, but I’m doing my own thing,” Mannie Fresh told Ozone magazine “It ain’t a situation where we gonna be name-calling and going back and forth. It’s just me maturing. It’s time for me to do me. It’s no bad blood.“
From the man who has produced a vast majority of top charting songs, this has got to be a major blow to the label. In the meanwhile, he will pursue his new label called Chubby Boy.
As for Baby, he spoke to MTV about the departure of his long time friend…

“If he wants to do a label, I’m with it,” Baby said. “I mean, I’m backing whatever Fresh wanna do, I’m supportive. It ain’t no conflict with us and Fresh. Fresh is my brother. He’s a made man. He’s not stepping away from his family.“
So is there bad blood or shady business going on at Cash Money? With Turk, B.G., Juvenile and now Mannie Fresh leaving, is there more to the story than we know? Juvenile has inked a deal with Atlantic and reportedly has lashed out at Baby with an obvious dis track titled “Fuck Baby.”
“[Juvenile dissing me is] like my son talking back to me. I ain’t trippin’ off ‘Nile and them. I have the utmost respect and love for him, and I wish him all the success in the world. I would never talk bad about them. I was 15 years old raising these niggas. Life goes on.“
