I don't assume anything. maybe he is broke. I'm just sayin so far the evidence is inconclusive

I don't care if being broke in hip-hop is considered a death sentence. that's just some more dumb shyt IMO. I live in a city full of broke musicians (N.O.). and I don't care about MGK either. I don't listen to his music

lol @ this, one show a month and he's living like someone earning 6 figures.

And did anyone actually watch him on Sways show or are you all going by the quote someone on boxden posted and the OP stole.


He said he was living in his managers basement before the deal and just stayed there when he signed it.
"I don't like to look better than my fans, I wanna stay the same" is what he said.

Interscopes marketing strategy, shyt should be seen by anyone above 13.

dude seems like the definition of someone not ready for prime time. If he was a bball player, MJ would sign him

:wtf: from watching that it sounds like he did the stupid thing and just signed up without reading or even trying to comprehend his deal. he deserves to be broke and living in someones basement but unless he's in some crazy 360 deal (i wouldn't be surprised) then he should be making money in SOME way. like dude before me sayd, he has done at least 100 shows in the last couple of months with Tech N9ne, i doubt he's pulling in 100Gs a show or anything but he should be getting SOMETHING

Seriously, listen to him being indifferent about signing for a mill and seeing none of it. WHO DOES THAT. I suppose he deserves some props for touring non stop but you gotta wonder how much of that money is going to Diddy. Given this guy's attitude towards everything, I can totally see Diddy hustling him with the worst 360 deal imaginable.

daze is pretty much correct...

Living in someone's basement... which could be a huge basement in an expensive house, just for the sake of argument... doesn't necessarily mean that person is broke at all. A $1.1 million advance means jack shyt. There's a lot of broke nikkas who got an advance and spent it strictly on showing people they weren't broke... then they became broke. Believing someone has no money because they don't own a home, is as short-sighted as believing every person with a home is paid. Stars that you assume are paid have had their homes foreclosed recently. There's people who made money in the past and don't appear broke because they still have the shyt they bought with their money, that in reality are about thisclose to losing everything they have. I wouldn't assume the dude's penniless unless it's proven, especially if he's never actually home anyway.

Perception says he's broke, but perception and reality can play tricks on you.

By "we," Puff meant him and his family.

Whiteboys spend money different from nikkas anyway.

I know millionaires out here that dress bummy as fukk and don't have no gear. The only thing expensive about em might be a gaudy looking watch, but errthing else is worn out dingy looking. It's cracker chic (sorry)

You think they broke till they hop in that 7 Series and skrrt up the block :ohhh:

nikkas naturally won't stand for lookin bummy or saving money, they gotta spend every last dime of they advance on Gucci/Louie/Prada bullshyt you know, we swagged out we spend money different. :obama:
