Bobby Shmurda recently did some ranting about not seeing his show money. The Brooklyn rapper’s mother, who also happens to be his manager, says it was all due to her son being new to the game.
Oh.
Reports Billboard:
“It’s not that he’s not getting paid, it’s that he’s new to the business,” Leslie Pollard tells Billboard. “There’s a chain of command that he has to go through before he gets his payment. I guess he’s thinking all the money should go from the front man to his hands — it doesn’t work like that. Of course they hold onto it so he actually does the show. Then it goes to his business manager, then to the touring accountant, and then to him.”
Pollard, who has been acting as his manager for nearly two months, says Shmurda was “just impulse talking” and the issue is essentially resolved.
Mom’s always know best.
Shmurda’s new EP, Shmurda She Wrote, is in stores Nov. 10.
