Bangladesh Talks Unpaid Royalties, Cash Money, Gucci & Ciara Collabo
July 8, 2010
Bangladesh sat down with Rap-UpTv recently and spoke about the lack of payment from Wayne’s “The Carter III”. As you may know Mr. Bangladesh did the “A Milli” track on the album and this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about producers not getting paid by Mr. Carter. As reported in April Jim Jonsin is still seeking payment for “Lollipop” and producer Deezle at that time was still waiting to get paid for “Mrs. Officer”. With Wayne locked up anyone else think these guys are still waiting? Also during the interview Bangladesh reveals that he did a track with Gucci featuring Ciara and says “it’s some hood shit, but it’s pop”. Hmmmm sounds interesting.
