something something, you build a gang, and you recruit young people who are below the age of being prosecuted, have them make music, music bot the music, and then you proceed to collect royalties on money you never made. All while actively washing drug money or something. Something something.

To be clear, you in no way shape or form are intending for your comment to be an implication against Cash Money Records. while Cash Money Records aknowledges that behavior may be common in the industry, CMR 100℅ has never and will never engage in this behavior.

Oh, you weren't accusing us directly. We didn't need to make this statement.... Fuck.

idk man, im starting to think that cash money records might be engaging in fraud. You have any irrefutable proof otherwise?
