Logic’s way of enjoying retirement? Purchasing items he couldn’t nab in his childhood.
Logic made certain that he got hold of a first edition Charizard Pokémon card, paying a ridiculous $226,000 for it.
Back in 1999 as Pokémon’s popularity was first exploding in the U.S., cards weren’t entirely expensive. As they’ve become retro, the value of certain cards have jumped over the past two decades. Logic’s purchase of the Charizard card managed to set a Nintendo record in regards to collectibles. The rarity of Logic’s card is the graphic is shadowless, meaning the shadow on the right side of the art is not visible.
Logic Demands Def Jam To Pay Up: 'Stop Fucking Up My Personal Relationships'
While Logic is making certain his relationship with nostalgia is still A1, he’s still at odds with Def Jam Recordings over non-payment for his friends and collaborators.
On October 3, he shared screenshots of a conversation with collaborator Kevin Randolph wondering why Randolph hadn’t been paid.
“@defjam can you please pay my friends and musicians that have made my albums great this is ridiculous at this point!” he wrote. “I shouldn’t be getting calls from close friends of mine in the middle of dinner with my Wife about how YOU haven’t paid them from the budget you’ve given me for this album.”
He concluded a lengthy Instagram post threatening to release one more project to fulfill his Def Jam contract just so he’d no longer have to engage with the label.
“Y’all make me want to un retire and drop the last album I have under my contract just so I don’t have to deal with y’all no more man god damn!” he wrote.
Damn smh I was stupid as hell as a kid. I had this card in my collection. We were stupid not thinking they would be worth anything. I should have listened to my parents more lmao
you ain’t have no first edition charizard STFU stop lying!!!
Why the fuck would I lie? What reason do I have to lie? Especially some 4th grade shit? How old are you?
Ok I was a lie, I never had that card!
Damn, how old are you guys? This is a hip hop website, you guys are beefing about a fucking Pokémon card? Wtf
I didn’t beef lol I just said I had the cars and why would I lie about it? Then somebody tried to use my name and respond. Beefing is much more than internet chatter
I like how somebody just tried to impersonate me lol I definitely had the card before but ok lame
Proudboyz? So you’re gay?
Damn i had that card as a kid
What a muppet.
I would sell this card!
Is son gonna use this to pay the friends he was crying about…talk about corny…
The label owes his friends, not himself.
Logic Katchum
Glad I don’t listen to this nerd. FFing POKEMON, SERIOUSLY?? what kind of kids are y’all?? go play with your barbie and my little pony too while you’re at it….
That’s his white privilege and supremacy showing!!!!! He should have given that money to the black community as reparations!
Fuck you
Just like all these black rappers that claim injustice and instead of lifting up their people and communities to make a difference INSTEAD of waiting for a difference end up splurging on chains and cars that devalue? Just like that?
