Hot Boy Turk, a prominent figure in the New Orleans Hip Hop scene, has announced his intention to take legal action against Cash Money Records following his abrupt removal from the group’s 30th anniversary tour. This situation has sparked considerable interest and concern among fans and industry insiders alike.
The founding member of the legendary Hot Boys has accused the tour organizers of dismissing him due to a financial disagreement. They allegedly requested that he accept a reduced payment as a result of disappointing ticket sales, which he found unacceptable. This confrontation has highlighted the ongoing struggles faced by artists within the industry.
In a candid post on Instagram, Turk stated, “The same day I rejected less than what was owed, I got hit with a bogus termination notice. Instead of admitting they couldn’t pay fairly, they labeled me a threat.” His statement sheds light on the complexities and challenges artists encounter when negotiating contracts and payments.
Furthermore, Turk shared screenshots of emails indicating that his dismissal was linked to ongoing conflicts with fellow group member B.G., which have included a series of heated exchanges on social media. This revelation adds another layer of drama to the already tumultuous situation surrounding the group.
Turk has since made it abundantly clear that he plans to pursue legal action against “all parties” involved in his removal from the tour, emphasizing his determination to stand up for his rights and fair treatment within the music industry.
As of now, Cash Money, the tour operators, and other members of the Hot Boys have not publicly commented on the incident, leaving fans eager for updates. Since the group’s reunion last year, they have faced a series of challenges, yet they recently announced a reunion tour, despite the fact that Lil Wayne has missed several performances.
Adding to the group’s trials, Birdman was seen appearing to doze off while performing alongside the group earlier this year. This incident has raised eyebrows and questions about the dynamics within the group and the health of its members.
In February, a peculiar video circulated online showing the Cash Money mogul standing still on stage with his head down for over 15 seconds during a performance with Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G., and Turk. The clip led to widespread concern among fans regarding Birdman’s wellbeing, though B.G. has reassured everyone that there is no cause for alarm.
Speaking to XXL, B.G. explained, “He was just reading the teleprompter, ya heard me? They just got him on a bad angle and we had a good laugh about it for a week. All of us laughed, josted off each other, josted off him because we thought it was funny.” This lighthearted perspective on the incident emphasizes the close-knit relationships within the group.
He went on to affirm, “But it just really reminded me that the internet is really undefeated. Stunna ain’t never did no hard drugs. He always been strictly about the bag.” This statement serves to clarify any misconceptions fans may have about Birdman’s lifestyle.
Turk also previously addressed the viral video, reassuring fans that there was no need for concern regarding Birdman’s health, further emphasizing the importance of understanding the context behind such situations.
