So why dude ain't take legal action to get paid?

He probably is unstable

There was never any actual paperwork.

He says that there was a paper typed up and signed by the 3 of them (Gibbs, Lambo, Arch) but that it most likely wouldn't hold up in court.

He basically invested his late 20s and 30s towards helping Gibbs and taking a role as manager. He claims Lambo did nearly nothing to advance Freddie's career, and that he (Arch) was responsible for lining up a lot of Freddie's early ventures, i/e work with LRG, Rockstar, first european tour, Adidas, SXSW, features in magazines and blogs, album artwork, sequencing, mixing, dj'ing, selling merch, etc.

He seems credible, however there's definitely red flags. Like @hex says, he comes off as a lil unstable, and I really don't want to just write him off like he's a nut case because I actually empathize with a lot of the pain he dealt with. However, he got carried away by the whole ordeal and some of the darker entries show that he was bordering on obsession.

It's very personal writing, so again, I don't want to shyt on the guy for sharing it all, but it's clear that it was an extremely unhealthy undertaking for him.

If he was a little crazier, he'd probably be Ricardo Lopez.

Who do you think the features are that he wasn’t feeling? I’m guessing Danny Brown and the OF cats. Don’t strike me as dudes he’d be keen to hit up for a feature in 2020. Whereas Face, Rae, Soul and BJ all make sense to me.
I mean, he had Tyler on the Alfredo project this year. Plus Domo and Earl got the Alchemist connect.

Then he had

this was an excellent read and clearly was written off the cuff and heartfelt

theres no way to tell his story without the personal details so the fact someone said its a diary is all fact

with that said diaries are admissible as evidence and now i know why i prefer pre pinata gibbs over his newer work

the low end. southside chi
I been following Gibbs since 2010 and have no idea who this guy is. The only manager I've ever heard of is Lambo. Who I assume is the "other guy" this guy keeps referring to.

Having said that, I believe most of what he said because he's too specific not to know what he's talking about.

Having said that, this guy sounds like a nut job in some places. Screaming on random people, cussing out record execs....couple instances of them accusing him of stealing money. So I dunno. He doesn't sound like the type of person you would keep around if your career was on an upward trajectory. And a bunch of what he's saying doesn't add up....so he did all the work.....but Gibbs career really took off after they fired him. And the major label deal Gibbs currently has, is because of Lambo. So it kinda seems like he's exaggerating how important he was.

Not to mention, constantly talking about how broke he is. Breh, get a job. There's no excuse for a grown man not to have $3 for parking. I realize he had dreams of working in the entertainment biz but you could go work at Cost-Co or some shyt and live comfortably. "I've been broke and starving for 5-6 years because a rapper owes me money" is not fly when you're an adult. Even if Gibbs is 100% in the wrong, you gotta move on eventually.

Nah, he was dropped beforehand, and Archie actually mentions the rape charges, and also the shooting incident in NYC. He sent Gibbs texts and never heard back.

November 4th. My phone is blowing up before I wake up. A lot of people thought I was in NY. Nobody knows we’re not working together. Most people don’t even think that’s possible. To this day, I still get texts every so often about him. People are hitting me up, asking me if we’re ok. How are you? Do you need anything? All that. I hit that other guy right away. Call. Text. Called his new dj. I’m online, looking at news stories. That other guy texts me thirty minutes later. A dozen in a row, breaking down everything. Telling me how they were dumped on. He saw them walking up, they fired shots, chased him into the venue, kept shooting, kept missing, then fled. He told me our dj got hit in the knee, but everybody else is ok. They had him in a safe location and are flying back that night. I told him to travel safe and I texted that person you know the same, but I found out later he had already changed his number, and never got my text.

Coincidentally, my health troubles lined up right around his legal issues. This is another time my phone was blown up, but I didn’t really care about it. I knew he never did it. He can be a lot of things, but he’s not doing that. That’s something we talked about a lot. I’m well versed in his thoughts on the matter, and I never once thought he actually did anything. I didn’t even care to follow what was going on, I had other things in my life I was more worried about. However, I did find it incredibly curious that he’s shot at and has a rape case within a year of firing me and breaking his word. I never wished ill on him, but I definitely thought karma was trying to tell him he fukked up.
