BLIND ITEM: BROKE RAPPER
Thursday, April 5, 2007
Not so long ago, this rapper was on fiyah! He was the hottest hip-hop star in the game but he never invested wisely. Instead, he lived large and financed a bling-bling lifestyle which included: A fleet of luxury cars, a mansion, lear jet travel and expensive jewelry. Now, he’s broke. Sources reveal-he recently flew to Los Angeles (in coach) and incognito. He had a friend take him to a Beverly Hills pawn shop that caters to celebrities who are down on their luck. He pawned rings, chains and watches. Now, we’re hearing, that this particular rapper has set-up a discreet Ebay account to continue liquidating his valuable assets for much needed cash.NOTE: All blind items are written by Myra Panache or her staff. No, I do not know what the answer is, after all it is called a Blind Item. Please contact Myra if you have any questions. Thank you.

Interesting that folks though of Ja Rule. I never saw him wear a lot of jewelry and he had a modest townhouse in New Jersey with one or two cars…not a fleet.
My best guess given all the clues above would be…..
BUSTA RHYMES.
He was once the hottest rapper in the game. He had a fleet of luxury cars. He’s done movies, but not as many as others. (Ja Rule has been on the DVD thing hard.) He also divorced or had some issues with his children’s mother who came out as a lesbian (but she still entitled to child support. Rule got one wife and TWO legitimate kids…that we know of.) He’s fallen off.
But it could be any rapper. It’s surprising those that are doing well that folks may not think - Kwame, Jazzy Jeff, and others that folks don’t see out cheesing everywhere. They are wealthy off production.
Damn sure ain’t SWIZZ BEATS. He has a 27,000 sq. foot mansion and millions of dollars in artwork. He’s aight.

I think it is Ja Rule as well. Wendy Williams asked him about it and he said it’s not him, but who would admit to being broke? None of them would. Master P filed for bankruptcy about 5 years ago, but I think he is still good on the money front. It will never be 50 cent because he invests wisely because he know music don’t last forever…

I once met Juvinile broke ass down here in H-town, and he wanted me to go to the bootleg and get some liquor. This fool gave me $20. Now, mind you, it was at least 10 of them dudes. I said what am I supposed to get with $20 dollas???? at the bootleg on top of that???? He took his money back and gave me $5 for lookin out…broke ass, dude! Fa’ sho’.

It’s Ja Rule fa show!!!! 50 shut him down and he will do it to anyone else who fuckes with him. Cameron is ALREADY BROKE so he doesn’t have to worry, neither does Jim Jones. They are VIDEO RICH, they RENT EVERYTHIG YOU SEE THEY HAVE. Koch doesn’t pay their artist well and if you don’t have a business mind in this industry, you are FUCKED>
Master P is still VERRYYYYY RICH and so is his son Romeo. Romeo is reportedly worth 50 mill HIMSELF!!! Last time I checked, MP was worth close to 1/2 a BILLION dollars!!! THere is no way to make that kind of money JUST OFF OF RAP and it would take more than 6-7 years to spend it I would think?!
They live out here in Beverly Hills. I saw his wife Sonja @ petco. She seemed very nice. He invested wisely and put 1,000,000 in each of his 6 kids’ trust funds.

@ #18…. U can sell 5,10,or 20 million records and not have a PENNY left after you have paid all of the engineers, producers, studio time, promotion….. etc. White people are SMART. THey take the poorest, non-business minded people, sign them and give them an advance KNOWING they are gonna blow it on material things because they have never had any money to manage and make BILLIONS off of them and throw them to the side because where they got 1, 20 more are hoping to make it and make the SAME mistakes. I kinda don’t blame the white man, becasue they are making a KILLING off of people who won’t take the time to educate themselves about the business. YOu don’t even have to go to school to learn about business.
Rappers think an ADVANCE is money to spend but you HAVE TO PAY IT BACK, THAT IS WHY IT IS CALLED AN ADVANCE AND NOT A FUCKIN PRESENT!!!Ja Rule’s wife is a STUPID BITCH because all she wanted was the material things in exchange for letting him sleep around with hoes. I’m sure she keep telling herself “At least I have the money and the cars, he don’t give them hoes he is sleepin’ with SHIT”, and now she don’t have SHIT cuz she doesn’t even have an education!!! SHe has been with Ja since she was 14 years old….and for WHAT?! He disrespected her almost everytime he made a song or video. THe worst part about it, is she is GORGEOUS!!! She could of had any successful man she wanted. But, she just keep poppin’ them kids out for him even after SUPERHEAD which she doesn’t believe he ever sleep with.
I can’t stand a naieve stupid bitch cuz I’ll be DAMNED if I ever go broke…I have mouths to feed!!!

@ #23 YEAH, RIGHT!!!!
@ #29…He was talkin about IRV GOTTIES HOUSE, which also indicates that MURDER INC has NO MONEY EITHER!!His wife let him pop X and fuck Superhead too and now Superhead is worth more money than BOTH of their wives HA! HA! HA!! The JOKE is THEM!!!! That is why Ashanti has had like 3 singles posted on this website and other, and no video or radio promotion because they have NO MONEY FOR PROMOTION OR PAYOLA and she can’t sell without promotion so she is FUCKED too. ANd Nelly just left her too so she doesn’t have that to fall back on and she just got sewed by an old producer for like 50,000!!! BUT, at least she writes somewhat so she could be okay!! I never liked her music, but she seems like a very sweet girl and I would hate to hear that she had a nervous breakdown or WORSE!!! I pray for her and her family, as well as for Ja’s kids, but I have NO SYMPATHY or RESPECT for women who let their husbands run around just because he is providing for her.

@141 STFU…Lloyd aint gonna sell SHIT and didn’t sell shit the last time. The new deal is NOT gonna cover their pending law expenses from trial and 10 mil AINT SHIT NO MORE!!!! They have NO artists on the lable that will sell today and everyone is going to DOWNLOAD anything they have IF they have anything to offer so they have NO RETAIL dollars
Just shows how poorly you were raised and how EASILY you are fooled by what you hear and see, like the general public!!! That is why 30 and 40 year old artists market TEENAGERS because they think they know everything, so they are VERY easily fooled!!!
My momma taught me to believe NONE of what I HEAR (Which is what you did, cuz you don’t know ANY of those loosers) and 1/2 of what I SEE!!! Take a note from me, it is Ja Rule she is talking about particularly, although I don’t doubt Juvi is broke.
But,0 CASH MONEY IS DEFINATELY NOT BROKE!!! I KNOW THIS AS A PERSONAL FACT BEING IN THE INDUSTRY MYSELF!!!!
Chuch!!!!

All the people saying it’s Yung Joc, it’s DEFINITELY NOT him, because Joc has one of the hottest exotic car rental businesses here in ATL. He makes 100,000’s of $$$ EVERY WEEK feeding celebs & big wigs egoes!! He caters to celebs, diplomats, sports stars, models etc. Joc’s SONGS may be wack but the brother is SMART & knew what to do with that little bit of paper he made & invested it ASAP. And it’s definitely NOT DMX, he’s NEVER been into those types of things cause he is well aware that those things don’t last. I say it’s either Ja FOOL oops I mean Rule or Juvi. As for Ja, (despite owning his publishing) he made some REALLY bad decisions financially & I think when the INC went under SO DID HE. Juvenile I would really HATE for it to be, but he’s a huge possibility too because he really did have ALOT of expensive jewelry & cars & he was the hottest thing smoking in his day.

It could be just about any rapper that was hot in the past. The record industry is designed to rape the artist and steal their publishing rights. That’s why so many popular artists retire broke. They would be smart to buy a building or two. Or at least invest in a low cost mutual fund. Instead they would rather buy watches for 70K.

I think itz Juvie B/C he lost a lot during katrina plus he love cars, jewelry and the clues did say bling bling and he did have the song on fiyah …U know “Gyrl thats Juvienile you don’t know he’s on fiyah” and then theres the clasic “bling bling.” everybody know turk iz broke.who ever said P(master),50 or any1 from 50s camp iz crazy b/c 50 luv Banks and Buck. Ja’rule he might be broke b/c the inc is not___ lost for words but Bg is at a lost for millions b/c he let the powder(drugs)take over but he got a grind game so he’s not just broke he’s not rich but he aint broke….All in all I think its Juvie

It’s not Ja Rule. He is co owner of Murder Inc and they were given a new deal that enabled them to put out Lloyd’s new album plus he’s in Saw 4 and owns his own publishing which means he is still collecting checks from all his hits.
Juve however left Cash Money because of illegal business practices and not eing compensated properly and never really scored a hit since plus the clues like bling bling and fiyah point to him.

The person was hot last year.Ja didn’t even come out with anything last year.I don’t think it could be Lloyd Banks cause he ain’t hurting.It sounds like alot of artist cause over half of them rent stuff and ain’t even near rich.

Aight, It can’t be Ja because the boy is gettin plenty of Royalty checks and other checks via misc. income. I wanna say Fat Joe, but He’s not the outlandish type of dude. And Cam supposedly just got 2 mil in the bank. So that right knocks out New York heads. In philly, it could be beans. But i think he’s still banking. Move on down south. It can’t be baby, b/c he wasn’t payin niggas lol. and Wayne is his Junior. So I’m sayin Juvenile or Lil Flip.

How the fuck could it be Baby? He got a $200 million dollar deal from Universal around 2002. You think he’s not making money off of Wayne? He stole money from Juvenile, BG, and Turk. He’s making a boat load of money selling those Lugz boots(yes, people actually buy those) and Sean John.
Anyone mention DMX?

@#167 USTFU!!! While I will concede that the post could actually be about Ja… I highly doubt it because I notice how you did not mention that anything i said was not true. Ja does have significant investments in things other than rap (eg. http://www.starsonpoker.com) in addition to the profits from the label he co-founded with Irv Gotti. As for the comments attacking my upbringing, dawg, you have no idea who I am or what I am about. I agree with your assessment of Lloyd’s career and the Inc’s roster of artists but in a lot of wyas you yook things too far. I in no way believe everything I hear and before commenting I thought about all of the points you raised but because I find it hard to believe that he could have spent all of that money so quickly… but hey… you never know. Be careful of the things you say dude… I can guarantee you I have more sense in my pinky toe than you do in your entire brain

First and Foremost, ALL of you are tripping if you think it’s Lloyd Banks. Just like Memphis Bleek has Jay, he has 50. That means he will never be that broke. Also he has been touring overseas and he own Bankshot Productions, and he designs clothes for G-Unit clothing company. It’s either Ja or DMX…
