Birdman denies buying Lil Wayne albums
By Petar Kujundzic / News / September 7, 2011 / 6276 Views

With more than 964,000 copies in its first week of sales, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter 4 has entered the scene stronger than most expected. This success immediately called up skeptics that suspected that Cash Money CEO Birdman has purchased most of the units himself. He appeared on Shade 45’s Sway in the Morning radio show earlier today to dismiss the rumors.

“No, that really don’t make no sense. Why would we do that? I press and distribute ‘em. Ain’t no need for me to buy ‘em. That’s hustling backwards; we ain’t in it for that. I ain’t ever been a part of that type of scheme to be buyin’ records. We don’t do that, homie. We be working too hard to be—that don’t go with what we do. We truly what we do. We’re real about what we do, we work hard every day at it, and we work for the people. That’s what we do music for: for people. And we appreciate the love they give us back. But no such thing as me buying no CDs. I wouldn’t even play it like that.”

It appears that the successful run of YMCMB will continue throughout this fall as Drake, Tyga and Bow Wow are currently readying their upcoming releases.

    LOL and we are supposed to believe him why exactly? He can say ANYTHING he wants to say. Buying those albums makes Wayne hit the headlines. If they hadn't bought the albums (which they blatantly did, let's be real here people) then Wayne would move into obscurity.

    Of course he didn't, he doesn't need to. Dumb white kids see other dumb white kids buying wayne Albums and copy them. Then they think he's the greatest rapper alive when he's lucky to be better than Soulja Boy. The only thing good about any of his albums is the production and Wayne ruins that with his shitty rapping...imo of course.

    I could see Birdman in that interview rubbing his hands together like he do in all his videos. Telling them stories, while Weezy blurred out in the back on his depth of field look. Ordering more Jeggins straight of the iPhone.
    Just kidding. Didn't Weezy last album do big numbers first week? Why is everybody so surprised? The man got fans. Let that boy Jegg.

  • Bob Sagat

    i can't believe he actually responded to this. wayne may have fell off a bit, but he still has a shit ton of fans. 

  • Hijinx69

    At the end of the day, it don't matter what anybody say because the numbers spoke for themselves. And they ain't goin nowhere but up.

    hey brett are you white? I am.  I take offense to having people say OH DUMB WHITE KIDS WENT AND COPPED THE ALBUM.  because I'm not saying oh dumb ass black kids went and copped it.  and saying black kids people would jump for me being racist.  it's a two way street, don't act like it isnt.

  • bucciman

    Birdman looks like a fat dyke 

  • Isaiah

    Listen dude i'm a black teen and the sad reality is that black kids really don't buy albums anymore. That being said don't get SUPER offended whenever someone talks about dumb white kids because sadly dumb suburban white kids do buy the majority of Lil Wayne albums. If you're not a dumb white kid then you shouldn't be offended.. imo

    Dude. If Birdman actually did buy albums, then his own albums would go platinum, but they never do. No one buys his shit.
