BLIND ITEM: ANOTHER BROKE RAPPER
Wednesday, July 11, 2007
A few years ago, I was informed that a very popular rapper was bouncing checks and his credit card declined repeatedly. Then his career had a minor upswing and he seemed to bounce back.
But, he bounced back way beyond his means. Due to numerous record company advances-to be deducted from future income and royalties, he purchased a $1 million dollar fleet of exotic sports cars.
He also purchased a mansion and kept a separate bachelor’s pad on the side which he paid $10,000 per month in rent.
Now, since his last album was a flop, he is in serious debt to the record company and now he ’s discreetly liquidating everything for quick cash.
People-who knew he was fronting are now laughing behind his back because he used to strut around, acting hard, flashing wads of “borrowed cash,” and now he ’s flat broke.
This man also has a ‘insecure complex’ because he’s been known to pay women to say he is “an excellent well endowed lover.”
Hint: It’s not Ja Rule, Busta or Ray J.
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’. These items are posted for entertainment purposes. Please don’t email me asking for the answer because your email will be promptly deleted.

It could be anybody. 90% of those so called MTV-Cribs/Rich-Pimps rappers are just a damn image and are broke. Basically, rapping is as wack as video hoeing, the only pimp is the industry.

Taj,
It can’t be baby b/c he owns the label and his last album was not a flop, eventhough he is whack as hell!
But Fat Joe does have a mad insecurity complex! Anybosy dee him on Wilding Out last year? And he was like, “I don’t want to do the freestyle segment” because he knew they were going to talk bad about him and he was too insecure to play the damned game. I don’t know if it’s him - but he sure is insecure!
27.
honeylove86
Wednesday, July 11, 2007 /
@ 26 I noticed that, too. He didn’t want to play none of the Wild’N Out game. I was like what the point of you being up here if you’re not going to play along. He’s wack!

I was thinking Fat Joe because he got dropped from Atlantic not too long ago, then my mind lingered over to Fabolous because he was always on the, “I can spell my name” tip, and nobody seemed to like it. He flopped then came back up?
But Camron… Maybe it’s him.
32.

Wednesday, July 11, 2007 /
I’m thinking Lil’ Flip. Didn’t he come out with an album last year or something like that, and I really didn’t hear nothing about it. Yeah, it’s him. Him or Baby.
33.

At first I was going to say Fabolous… but I think some of the other answers (i.e., Lil’ Flip, Chingy, Killa Cam, etc…) make more sense.

@ 26 & 27
I saw that too! I was like how are you going to be a rapper but you afraid to freestyle??? That told me right then and there that Fat Joe don’t have skills 4real.
So I say FAT JOE!

IT’S FAT JOE.
HE BRAGGED ABOUT CASH AND HIS FLEET OF CARS HE PURCHASED WITH $1 MIL ADVANCE.
THE KEY WORD WAS “BACHELOR PAD”
FAT JOE KEPT HIS CONDO AND BROUGHT A MANSION IN JERSEY FOR HIM AND HIS WIFE.

@21, Are you down with Myra’s crew or something? How do YOU know that this item isn’t Juvi?
39.
Virgo23
Wednesday, July 11, 2007 /
@26 - Just because Fat Joe wouldn’t play along doesn’t mean he was insecure, because if that’s the case then was Fabolous insecure? Because when he was on the show he wasn’t doing the free style battle…after thinking bout it, it could be Fabolous! Does anyone know if his album flopped? has it even dropped yet?

I think it’s Lil’ Flip. He’s always frontin like he’s so rich. His last album flopped. But this could be anybody. Look how many rappers are flat-ass broke now.
41.

Wednesday, July 11, 2007 /
I say Juvenile because I think the hint was “Bounce Back”. Remember Juvey made that song *I’m about to bounce back*

Because of her saying “bounce” a couple of times, primarily “bounce back”, I assumed Juvenile. But Petey Pablo is a good guess…I have no clue..lol
46.
yes
Wednesday, July 11, 2007 /

Chingy or Lloyd Banks.
Chingy’s 1st single off his second album “Pulling me back” with tyrese was a hit, (hence the minor upswing in his career), but his second album flooped and was no where near the success of his 1st album.
Lloyd Banks first album did well, but not the second.
Leaning more towards Chingy.

If he kept a “separate” bachelor pad that’s clue that the rapper is married…does anyone know if Petey Pablo is married?

I would say any rapper that has been dropped from their record label, releasing albums that are not selling or sitting at home like Lloyd Banks……

It ain’t Chingy he flopped and crawled back to Ludacris and DTP, I wondered why Luda took him back but I guess he decided to let it go, he’s back with DTP and on their album so it ain’t him

@39 fabolous did do the freestyle battle for wildnout…and he was probably one of the funnier celebrities that made an appearance on the show…
i think it might be camron, lil flip or game
camron because there has always been a question of how much money he really has and if he really gets the seven dollars a record that he claims…and he always shows up in the groupie section of magazines with women proclaiming that he is the best they’ve ever had…and he’s known for his expensive cars…i.e. lambourghini…,jewelry, and flashing money constantly in the camera.. and despite releasing numerous successful albums..his last album “killa season” was the worse selling album of his career.
it could also be lil flip because he’s also known for his ostentatious jewelry and cars plus his last album “i need mine” and is also his worse selling album to date…he claims to have all these business ventures yet no one has ever heard or seen any of these products and servics.. i.e. clover g watches, clover g clothing, movies, etc
I have mixed feelings on whether or not i think its game.. because on one hand it could be game depending on what you define “flop” as…he sold 800,000+ records which is pretty good considering the climate of the music industry but its pretty bad considering his first album sold 5 million plus… he could be broke because there are a lot of people that eat before game makes any money… jimmy henchmen, 50 cent of course since he is still contractually signed to g-unit, dr dre….game’s record label has artist supposedly signed to the label but none of the artists have released any material… then every song on his last album has a prominent producer featured on it..this probably ate his budget up putting him in debt going into his third album…he’s also made several statments saying that his next album will be his last album..this could possibly be due to the fact that he’s not making enough money to compensate for his lavish lifestyle..finally he’s also made comments about sexual relations with vida guerra and she denied the allegations… maybe this was a ploy to make the general public perceive him as a ladies man or a womanizer…

IT’S BUSTA YOU DUMB ASSES… Busta’s album THE BIG BANG was actually ok, but due to him being a jerk and his escapades with the LAW he didn’t do the numbers, regardless, they gave him a huge advance against the the amount of sales he was projected to do…then he got arrested for all kinds of dumb shit, then he never talked to the cops when his body guard was murdered…mind you he has a babies momma, all kinds of dumb chains, and cars he didn’t need, he’s insecure…he started using roids to make himself look better maybe to give him a boost(insecurity), he stays beatin up on little people and women, his former babies momma is now a lesbian due to his crap…it’s him. He’s in the hole for a few million, worse he’s up to his neck in lawyer fees from 4 cases…he’s not doing well right now.
