Not sure if this is allowed here - just wanted to vent and raise some awareness.
I'm a producer & rapper and have worked with a few different platinum and Grammy nominated artists. Earlier this year I hit up Bubba Sparxxx about doing a verse on a song of mine. He responded saying that he loved the song and he's down. We agreed on a price and he asked for 60% down, which I sent over via CashApp. He accepted the money later that day, and I haven't heard a single thing back from him since - it's been over 4 months now.
I'm pretty disappointed with the whole situation. He was one of my favorite rappers and I was over the moon with excitement when he agreed to hop on the track. I've been emailing a few times a month checking in, have sent him texts, and tried to call, with zero response to anything.
I reached out to his former manager, Bobby Stamps, who responded saying he hadn't talked to Bubba in a little over a year. I also emailed Shannon, the owner of Average Joe Records (which Bubba is signed to). Shannon was very nice and quick to respond each time, and confirmed that I had Bubba's correct phone number, but after two weeks said he hasn't been able to get ahold of him, and to do whatever I need to do to get my money back.
This whole situation is really frustrating, and I feel like I've exhausted all means of communication.
Edit: Added how long it's been (4+ months)
Edit: I just noticed the "allegedly" flair. I can post screenshots of everything if needed.
