During an appearance on Nick Cannon’s “Cannon’s Class“ podcast, the Cash Money co-founder broke down the numbers behind the empire he built with his star-studded roster.
Birdman opens up about his roster, revealing that Cash Money Records raked in billions of dollars from the careers of Drake, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj, crediting the trio for helping turn his label into a financial powerhouse. According to Birdman, the trio has raked in more than $2 billion. This isn’t the first time Birdman has spoken about the massive earnings tied to his artists.
Back in 2021, he told the “Big Facts” podcast that he personally handed out $1.4 billion to the trio after inking a deal with Universal Records. Birdman also emphasized the long-term value of owning music rights, explaining how Cash Money continues to profit from its catalog in another 2021 interview.
