Turk Is Suing Cash Money Records For $1.3 Million

Turk Cash Money

Turk is suing his former label, Cash Money Records, for $1.3 million. Know why? Because the original Hot Boy member is claiming he hasn’t received any royalties from the company since signing with the label in 1998.

Here’s excerpts from Turk’s court documents:

“Defendants have also failed to pay Plaintiff any advances, any royalties, any artist royalties or any music publishing. Whatsoever in connection with the Exclusive Artist Recording Agreement.

Money Mack Music is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Turk entered into a contractual agreement with Money Mack in 1999. The lawsuit states the company was to assume payments of publishing advances and music publishing royalties for the artist’s recordings.

The suit also asserts Cash Money and Money Mack failed to register artist shares of his 2001 albumYoung & Thuggin’ and numerous individual songs he appeared on, such as ‘Ha (Remix)’ and ‘Welcome To The Nolia,’ with Broadcast Music Inc.

According to Turk, the result of not having those recordings BMI registered on his behalf was the loss of publisher’s share and writer’s share of performance royalties.

Turk is requesting the defendants provide accurate accounting in order to properly determine payments owed to him. He is seeking damages of at least $1.3 million.”

  1. Some things you have to do yourself and if his publishing and royalties were that important why has it taken damn near 20 years to realize you been getting hoe paid.

    • They were going fatherless kids who looked at Baby like their Dad because they got gamed up. Know what you’re talking about before you judge.

  2. TURK WAS A DRUG ADDICT AND MAYBE HE WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING IF HE HAD’NT SPENT 10 YEARS IN PRISON.

    MAn who wants to be a cash money millionaire now.

    don’t think turk owns any publishing.

    probably didn’t even know what he signed back in the day.

    wayne has a good chance of winning something.

    but turk, juve, and mannie fresh are ass out.

    juve had to come back.

    turk better look into how j prince’s phukking him over at rap a lot.

    juve was on rap a lot but he left these rappers just go from one label to another getting phukked at every opportunity.

    • Pretty much what likely happened.These young and upcoming artist are easily impressed by the material items..bling, designer clothing, luxury cars, money, women, and all that goes with that lifestyle. They get sucked in because they want these things. I think that most of them were teens back when they signed with Cash Money Records. I don;’t even know if they understood what they were signing or getting. That’s when having some good counsel by an adult who understands the business and has their best interest at hand would have come in handy. Its been a long time.If he is owed any royalty /publishing money I hope that he gets it but dealing with that label and being able to prove it ..that might be tough. Isn’t Lil Wayne the labels biggest money maker trying to part ways with Birdman at least business wise?He seems to be the only one who has achieved some lengthy success from that group.

  4. LMAOOO! on top you crazy lol, but that’s a good observation,lol I believe sum like that happen lol, usually that’s how they hook slaves pardon me artist lol, yeah you bout right

  6. What’s really going on at Cash Money? Somebody is knocking baby off of his throne for real.

    • doubt turk gets anything.

      don’t understand how baby got money problems unless baby’s spending more than hes making.

      drake, nicki, and young thug is selling records and baby gets paid off whatever drake and nicki does so if they do guest appearances baby gets paid and baby’s STILL MAKING MONEY FROM THE STUFF WAYNE AND ALL THE OLD CASH MONEY STUFF.
