If you believe you can market and supply a product in the same way as Soulja Boy then do it OP. Must be easy.

If not then keep getting mad, it's chill. Soulja isn't even that rich in rapper terms, everyone with >$100m made a big chunk of it from other ventures and the record executives are making the real money anyway. Plus he's a fucking moron for getting caught with a loaded illegal gun in this day and age.

>record executives are making real money
Is this nigga serious? Artist get paid fat for performances and they most likely own their own biz. Stay controlled.

They do but tons of them are on 360 deals and don't make shit from their sales. Read up on how many people have been fucked over by Interscope, or what Birdman does with Cash Money. Tyga's been on a 3x platinum track, has his own 2x platinum track as well as three gold tracks and hasn't ever received a cheque.

Birdman has been in the game for a while and he still makes money through YMCM. Tyga bought an 6.5m dollar house in 2011.

>implying this isn't him just trying to get more fans

I know how long Birdman's been in the game but he's obviously making more money from Tyga than Tyga is making independently (remember that his net worth is a little misleading as all of his income is split 50/50 with his brother Slim, their combined worth is the real figure when you're thinking about the wealth of Cash Money)

Birdman's awfully fucking rich for a rapper almost no one likes because he gets money out of people by blowing money on Bugattis and shit for them before pressuring them into ridiculously stupid contracts. I like him and respect his hustle but it's true. Tyga dropped a lot of money on a single house, as well as the Maybach he bought and in a few years he'll be broke and/or filing for bankruptcy just like DMX, Nas, Bow Wow, Xzibit, Lil Kim, Lauryn Hill, Ja Rule and MC Hammer have. You can't spend like you're Drake, Wayne or Nicki when you don't sell anywhere near what they do, haven't negotiated comparable contracts and don't have endorsements and investments like they do just because you're on the same roster.
