Lil Wayne Confirms Cash Money Signed Limp Bizkit, Ashanti May Be Next

    Over the years, Cash Money Records has opened its doors as a home to established and new artists alike. Recently, Lil Wayne revealed that Cash Money signed the Rock/Rap group Limp Bizkit. He then shared that Ashanti may become part of the Cash Money collective as well. 

    “Every other day I hear about somebody new signed to Cash Money,” Wayne explained in an interview with Kissing After Dark. “For example, the other day I just found out that Limp Bizkit signed to Cash Money. So they’re signing everybody. Every body’s getting a chance.” 

    Weezy also went on to fuel rumors of Ashanti signing to the label. While acknowledging that it was not a sure thing, Wayne shared that Ashanti may be the next artist on the Cash Money roster. 

    “I don’t want to step across any boundaries but I think we’re working with Ashanti right now.”

    1. INSTEAD OF SIGNING ALL THESE PEOPLE HOW ABOUT YOU START PUTTING OUT ALBUMS FROM THE ARTISTS ALREADY ON THE LABEL

      1. the majority of artists on labels don’t have motivation or drive, (think memphis bleek or beanie sigel on rocafella) or most of those guys on cash money right now, they just sit there and expect the label to do everything for them. Its a 2 way street, you gotta put the work in and then the label will recognize it and put you on. Thats why Drake and Nicki are killing it and no one ever heard a Gudda Gudda track. Juvenile had the highest selling album in that label’s history but when was the last time anyone heard a juvy track?

      2. Juvenile just put out the Mardi Gras mixtape this past Tuesday…his new album “Rejuvenated”‘s coming soon.

        Come check “Ready or Not” ft. Wacko & Skip…this could be the next single-their best in quite some time.

    2. Just when I didnt think this label could get any lamer they go and sign one of the wackest bands to come out in the past 20 yrs

      keep pounding nails into that coffin it wont be long now

      1. they already are a joke, everyone on the label is a walking, talking joke from lil chuckee’s balding 14 yr old head to birdmans ugly tatted face

    3. If I’m Jae Millz, Mack Maine, Gudda Gudda, Lil Chuckee, T-Streets, I’m asking to be released NOW…if he ain’t gave us our shine by now, he’s NEVA gonna do dat.

      #MardiGrasMixtape out now…it’s MUCH better than any YMCMB album (or any Cash Money album after Mannie Fresh left)

      1. we they tourin around the world n gettin paid for nothing even if they we on another label puttin out lp’s they would be travelin as much as they are now or even be as known

      2. But they would get more:

        MONEY (Birdman be cheatin’ ’em just like EVERYBODY ELSE)
        POWER (They’d be in charge of their situation)
        RESPECT (they’ll prove YMCMB didn’t make them, they helped make YMCMB)

        Major labels will be dead by 2020…independents will be around FOREVER.

      1. How they stay sellin?

        Limb Bizkit isn’t the same band anymore. Thats like lil Wayne now signing Lil wayne when all people knew him from was “BLING BLING”

      2. stay sellin?..without googeling name 2 limp albums after choc.starfish..i love limp bizkit but their albumbs after Choc Starfish they tried to hard to sound like old limo bizkit.. personally this signing is either a good thing for them, or a disasterous thing.. fred still got lyrics and came scream like crazy, im kinda interested to hear what limp bizkit comes out with now, if its riddled with features from lil wayne and the worste rapper alive fuckin birdman baby w.e he is, then yea the album will fail miserably.

    4. limp bizkit is like rap and rock mixed.i think music been missing that for lot of years.wonder how it turns out.and ashanti i allways liked her music.

      1. its been missing cuz it sucks. Rap/Rock is too easy to end up sounding cheesy and fake. I’d personally say the only bands that do it right are the Kottonmouth Kings and Hed PE, and even those bands are hated by the majority of people.

      2. And I’m talking CURRENTLY. Obviously in the past the Beastie Boys and run DMC did it right, as well as MOP. But currently I think those are the only two doing it right.

      Lil Wayne
      Birdman

    6. my friend’s ex-wife makes $73 hourly on the internet. She has been out of a job for 10 months but last month her pay was $7375 just working on the internet for a few hours. Read more on this site… makecash16. om

    7. limp bizkit…lol…makes sence since wayne is a poser…lol…damn they are signing lames…i think they are the most wack lable…quantity but no quality…lol

      1. Oh yeah, him too…

        But f’real though, this move of signing Limp Bizkit can only go two ways: very good look or a very baaaad look that you try to turn away from but you still look anyway.

    8. Yessssssssssssssss.
      Yesssssssssssssssss.
      Yessssssssssssssssss.

      Limp Bizkit ii like da best Rock band ewarr…….. dis nigga Fred Durst is da Obama of white hip hop. dis nigga would kill Eminem wit just 3 barz. dis nigga can outrapo Nas. #KEEPROLLINROLLINROLLIN swag

    9. LOL! Limp Bizkit is fucking terrible. Fred Durst is easily the least talented lead singer in the world…I’m actually really surprised that they are still together, the last I heard was the group (whose music is still pretty ill) wanted nothing to do with Durst ruining their solid work with his whining, faggot fueled, pussified rants. Should fit right in on Young Money…Cincy hat and all.

    10. I just purchased Chocolate Starfish and the Hod Dog Flavored Water from iTunes. damn dis album iz classik. dat nigga Fred iz too great. I think Im a Rock fan now. swag

      best rock albumz of all time:

      1. Rebirth
      2. Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water
      3. Significant Other
      4. Greatest Hits
      5. Cold Cobra

      #YMCMB2012 #TYGA #NICKI #LIMPBIZKIT #LIKEFATHERLIKESON

    11. last time i heard of fred durst he was directing that ice cube foot ball movie….he should stick to directing…lol…btw didnt eminem kill his career…lol

    12. And yet no one on the label could take the time to get the samples cleared on Tyga’s album to make sure it didn’t get recalled after it had been already shipped.

      They should have asked Wayne what it feels like to lose every single Grammy in the entire genre to the guys he took shot at the night before. Swept em

    13. damn dis band is so good. Fred iz a beast….

      monster Limp Bizkit songz:

      Gold Cobra

    14. IN OTHER NEWS, CASH MONEY SIGNS VANILLA ICE, MILEY CYRUS, JUSTIN BIEBER, AND KIM KARDASHIAN.

      But seriously, Limp Bizkit? They’re an irrelevant, washed up band now. 3 Dollar Bill Y’all and Significant Other were great albums, Chocolate Starfish was ehh…, but everything after that album sucked. Their careers are going nowhere and signing to Cash Money won’t help. That label’s signing washed up artists quickly and putting them in the background. We probably won’t see a project from them.

    15. Who are they gonna sign next, Kool and The Gang? All these artists better re-read their contracts cause I have a feeling they’re being promised the world, but will be lucky to get a small piece of Wayne and Birdman’s table scraps.

    16. Who cares? They all faggots. I wish there would be someone like 2Pac who would diss the shit out of them.

      So to all the real rappers please diss Cash Money.

    17. THIS JUST IN!!!!!!!!! Cash Money signs Weird Al Yankovic, The Backstreet Boys and the doodlebops from nick jr. this is our year! YMCMB foe life! (young.men.chasing.male.butts)

    18. When Limp Bizkit did a cover of PE’s “Bring the Noise”, Durst changed the line of “Farrakhan’s a prophet that I think you ought to listen to”– instead, he said “Farrakhan’s a racist…” totally disrespecting the group. No thanks on this latest go-round.. Rage Against the Machine is much better. Shout out to DJ Lethal..

    19. u think wayne really cares about any of this bullshit…he just likes the green he keeps seein cuz thats what tha lil nigga been lookin for since he was 10

    20. YMCMB TAKIN OVER THIS BITCH!!! I really doubt you kids know anything about Net Income… revenue minus costs= Net Income. Any artist who can meet that equation get signed. Go to school kids.. its a business move. Cm is nolonger a hip hop clique and shit. Mula$$$ krazzzyyyy

      1. WTH does your Accounting 101 course have to do with this move? Limp Bizkit hasn’t been hot in about 10 years and having a group sitting on the sidelines collecting dust at a label doesn’t help your bottom line. Talk to me when you move onto accounting 201.

      2. @muvaphknmega: Okay mr accountant. The 10 years sitting on the sideline is already sunk costs and should not be brought into discussion, lets talk about the future if you an accountant you should know…. Here whats important is the opportunity cost of them not being promoted, the loss being incurred by sitting an asset at can potentially cover some fixed cost# Accounting 303. Lets go, get at me…

    21. Now I like Ashanti over odd looker/talent Nicki Minaj but how many on their roster already??? Drake won’t like 3 DIVAS on young money…he’s one of em’…lol

    22. This is eerily similar to when G-Unit signed M.O.P. and Mobb Deep – it makes no fucking sense and there’s no way it will benefit anyone involved. Hopefully, like the aforementioned situation, this also leads to the end of the label…

    23. Why’s everyone hating on wayne? You guys act like HE signed those artists to cash money. It’s BABY and SLIM that does all that, wayne and mack maine sign rappers to YOUNG MONEY…just saying.

    24. @muvaphknmega: Okay mr accountant. The 10 years sitting on the sideline is already sunk costs and should not be brought into discussion, lets talk about the future if you an accountant you should know that…. Here whats important is the opportunity cost of Limp Bizkit not being promoted, the loss being incurred by sitting an asset at can potentially cover some fixed cost and get the business money. There dont have to bring profts, but evenif they can just cover some# Accounting 303. Lets go, get at me…

    25. “Cash Money where dreams come true” – Lil Wayne , cant stop thinking of that line whenever they sign a new act haha

      1. Yep “Cash Money Records Where Dreams Come True F-Up My Dreams Someone Might Get Deleted Tonight” I Did A Little Tune Up.Hey You Guys Can Call Dwayne Carter A Hip-Hop Head Yep

    26. cash money is garbage ..wayne is garbage and always will be .. these recent signings just prove it more and more ..

    27. BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!

      CASH MONEY HAS JUST SIGNED RUPAUL,BOY GEORGE,GEORGE MICHAELS,CLAY AIKEN,AND RICKY MARTIN.

    28. HAHAHAHAHAHA

      cash money has to be the worst roster assembled in the history of music. why does it not surprise me lil waynes gay ass is a limp bizkit fan?

      cash money, home of washed up has beens like busta rhymes and limp bizkit, and gay rappers like lil wayne tyga and drake. unbelievable. this fucking guy signed fred durst. HAHAHAHA this guy wearing womens leggings with lip rings that skateboards signed fred durst. HAHAHAHAHAHA wow cant even be mad just so ridiculous u gotta laugh

    29. I seriously hope Ashanti doesn’t sign to Young Money/Cash Money, she’s one of my favorite singers and made Ja Rule tolerable.

      If she signed with them it’d be a bunch of shitty rap verses on her music.

    30. I’m not surprised that most of the trash artists have an inclination to sign with Cash Money (except for Busta Rhymes who I’m still confused about)

    31. This is like the deja vu of No Limit. Sign all the trashiest rappers into one colossal supergroup. Oh yeah and in that group, there is actually ONE guy who is good.

    32. THIS IS GREAT LOVE INTERRACIAL BUTT SEX YOU KNOW BABY KISSIN HIM IN THE MOUTH TOO HOPE THEY SIGN KRISS KROSS NEXT MAYBE VANILLA ICE THINK THEY’D BE GREAT WIT THE TEAM

      YMCMB AND ITS STILL DMFF

      DICK MOUTH FAIRY FUCKERS FOR YOU LAMES THAT DON’T KNOW

    33. Hate if you want to, but I could see this as a benefit. Limp has a completely different sound and audience than say a Busta or Bow wow, so does Ashanti. By having a different roster, they can be released at the same time and not take money out of the others pockets. Thats why Def Jam never got anyone released…ever!!! They had to many acts targeting the same crowd. Of course this is all based on if Baby and Slim will actually market them properly, besides putting Wayne on 3 tracks and calling it a day. *Drops the mic*

      1. dude who would buy a limp bizkit album? their fans from 15 years ago are not going to suddenly start liking them again because they hang out with man kissing alien skateboarders.

    34. i think cash money is trying to give everyone a voice of all types of ppl.and theirs plenty of limp bizkit fans in their late 20s and early 30s..just because u turn 28 all sudden you dont stop being a fan of music lol im sure thel get new fans. but at the end its about everyone yupp..

    35. when i see limp bizkit preform on you tube i see the fans of all types of ppl all types of energy like a everyone type of feeling.bring blacks whites latino asain fat skinny all together.it seems some music only targets one thing..im glad cash money got busta limp ashanti and ect.everybodys on top.their is no head type of feeling.90s great,im on top of my bed.cake

    36. Are they serious with the shit they’re doing. Did Ashanti forget how Murder Inc. used to run trains on her constantly? Irv kept her on those E pills. This chick is done & isnt she suppose to have her own label now? WTF. #icant. She better get her $500,000 back from Nelly that she loaned him some yrs ago, because that’s the only way she’s gonna eat.
