50 Cent recently sat down for an interview and spoke about how he turned down a massive $1.3 million record deal because the label that wanted to sign him was connected to Murder Inc. and Irv Gotti.
The TV showrunner spoke about an interview Gotti did with Hot 107.9 where he talked about allegedly blocking 50 from getting signed to numerous record deals. “Irv was talking in the interview and he was talking about he was blocking me. Like he was blocking everything. He said, ‘I blocked him into a good situation.’ And it just went off,” said the rapper. He continued saying “And, I saw the situations I didn’t feel where he felt he was blocking me at that point. But I wouldn’t do business with anyone who had direct associations or any influence to the things that they had that was working.”
The rapper then spoke about the aftermath of his decision, saying “So they offered me a million three to do a G-Unit and my solo album at Universal, and I just turned the deal down. Yayo didn’t understand he was like, ‘What? A million three you not gone do it, what? That’s like saying we hit the lottery and you not going to pick up the ticket.’ And I’m like, ‘Nah it’s not the right deal,’ because it’s in the Universal system. Def Jam and those guys was already making money from that system. Where they could influence and sabotage everything that I had going.” Watch his full statement above.
