From the moment projections for Lil Wayne's 'Tha Carter IV' were released, Young Money & Cash Money Billionaires Entertainment was accused of buying the records to pump sales.
YMCMB CEO Bryan 'Baby' Williams says that's bull...
Sway from Shade 45 got Baby on the phone and asked him about allegations that YMCMB bought up 'Tha Carter IV' to make it go platinum in one week and Baby replied,
“Nah, man, that really don’t make no sense. Why would we do that? I press and distribute ‘em. Ain’t no need for me to buy ‘em. That’s hustling backwards; we ain’t in it for that. I ain’t ever been a part of that type of scheme to be buyin’ records. We don’t do that, homey. We be working too hard to be — that don’t go with what we do. We truly what we do. We’re real about what we do, we work hard every day at it, and we work for the people. That’s what we do music for: for people. And we appreciate the love they give us back. But no such thing as me buying no CDs. I wouldn’t even play it like that.”
