Chris Brown Reveals How He Has Focused On His Financial Strategy Since He Was 17

by

Chris Brown reflected on how he’s accumulated his wealth during a recent appearance on the R&B Money Podcast with Tank and J. Valentine. In doing so, he recalled investing in Burger King franchises at a young age, negotiating a 50-50 profit-sharing agreement with his former label, Jive Records, as well as locking down his masters from his 2011 album, F.A.M.E., through his current releases.

“So I’m more like, you know, I’m able to now now see real money or see something from what I’ve created ’cause I know I created it so now, you know, I can go and do this now. I can create some more,” Brown explained, as caught by XXL. “Wait till y’all see what I’m about to create. So now I get to own all of that you know and it’s like what you said, I’m like a testament to [investing in yourself].” He concluded: “Hey, I’m not saying put your head down, just be the best you.”

Producer Zaytoven Admits Early Doubts About Future, Used To Take Him Off Songs

by

Zaytoven and Future are undoubtedly a dynamic duo. They’ve created plenty of hits together. Notably, their acclaimed joint mixtape, Beast Mode, brought the world hits such as “Real Sisters,” “Just Like Bruddas,” and “Lay Up.” They’ve also collaborated on huge tracks such as “Feds Did A Sweep,” where Future even created a mini crime-drama for the visual. However, a recent viral clip from Zaytoven’s appearance on the R&B Money Podcast has unveiled a surprising revelation about their early working relationship. In the resurfaced podcast clip, Zaytoven candidly admits that their bond wasn’t always as close as it is now. The ATL super producer reveals a less-than-enthusiastic stance toward Future’s early work, confessing that he used to remove Future’s verses from songs during their initial collaborations.

“I worked with Future from his first mixtape, back from I thought Future wasn’t even all that good,” Zaytoven said. He goes on to share a vivid memory of Rocko bringing Future to his studio for a song. “I remember Rocko used to bring Future to my house in the studio and they’d do a song, and I’d take Future’s verse off the song,” he admitted. “That’s how much I didn’t really like his stuff. Now, he’s my favorite to me right now. Ain’t nobody better than him. But back then it’s like, ‘Ahh, that ain’t it.’ He was getting his reps in.”

Zaytoven Reveals He Wasn’t Always This Close To Future

The clip sheds light on the evolution of Future’s artistry and the growth of his partnership with Zaytoven. It also highlights the authenticity of their relationship, showcasing that even in the early stages, Zaytoven was critical of Future’s work. But, he acknowledges the significant strides the rapper has made since then. Fans have reacted to the clip with a mix of surprise and appreciation for Zaytoven’s honesty. It serves as a testament to Future’s dedication to his craft and the producer’s ability to recognize and appreciate the artist’s growth over time.

In addition, there was another pivotal moment that Zaytoven reflected on. He recalled when they were working on the Dirty Sprite album. At the time, Zaytoven wasn’t eager to listen to the songs that Future said he rapped on. However, when the album dropped and became a street sensation, Zaytoven found himself grateful that Future chose his beats. “But when it came out, and it tore up the streets and that’s all you could listen to. Thank God he rapped on my beats. I was praying my song was on there,” he revealed. From sceptic to beliver, Zaytoven is now part of Future’s great legacy.

Nicki Minaj Stole “Buy A Heart” & Meek Mill’s Chain From K. Michelle, “L&HH” Star Alleges

Thanks to social media, most of the drama that unfolds within the music industry is quickly plastered across the internet for fans to react to. However, there are still things that go down behind closed doors, some of which only come to light years later during podcast interviews or dramatic blowouts. Since Nicki Minaj confirmed her Pink Friday 2 album is dropping later this year, there’s been a notable increase in the number of unflattering stories about the mother of one in the news. K. Michelle only contributed to that while recording an episode of R&B Money, reflecting on some things that Minaj allegedly stole from her earlier in their careers.

“‘Buy A Heart’ was on a Meek Mill album, and Nicki Minaj’s mean a** took it from me,” the 41-year-old told Tank and J Valentine. “Atlantic Records put me in with Meek Mill ‘cuz he needed some love songs,” she explained to the confused hosts. “He played that record, it wasn’t on his album. I said, ‘Oh, you sleeping on this.’ So I got the record,” Michelle shared. At the time, she wasn’t aware of the Philly native’s romantic relationship with Minaj, but the Queen of Rap was well aware of her existence.

K. Michelle Recalls Uncomfortable Past with Nicki Minaj

“I had never slept with Meek, none of that,” the “Can’t Raise a Man” singer clarified. “She wanted to take the record from me, and she said that he had to take back his chain from me.” Michelle noted that she was always a fan of Minaj’s, and didn’t think she had done anything to upset the “Only” artist.

In the end, “Buy A Heart” ended up on one of Minaj’s previous albums with her then-boyfriend as a featured artist. It’s been nearly a decade since The Pinkprint first landed, but its influence remains undeniable – even if the Trinidadian wasn’t the original owner of all the songs.
