T-Pain bought a $1.7 million Bugatti. Then his accountants called. They might have to sell his house.
He had told them to send the money for the car.
"When I bought that Bugatti, that was the last bit of my money and I had no idea."
The call came after.
"Hey, so we may have to sell your house."
"What are you talking about? I have a Bugatti."
That money was supposed to finish paying off the house.
"My house is paid for."
"Uh, yeah, not anymore."
Was anyone watching the money?
"I never knew what the hell was going on with my finances."
People were stealing from him. He didn't care.
"I should still have enough."
Then his granddad pitched a business. Pants with the boxers already sagging out.
He put in $150,000.
"I didn't have it, but I gave it to him."
The pants never got made. Years later, Balenciaga sold the same idea.
Today, if $4 leaves one of his accounts, his phone alerts him.
Back then, $1.7 million left without him noticing.
"I had so much money that it was just like, why would I care?"

Snoop Dogg says Death Row never sent him a single publishing check. So he bought Death Row.
Now his own cousin says Snoop isnβt paying him.
In the video below, Snoop explains what he earned at the top, and why he bought the label anyway.
Doggystyle debuted at No. 1 in 1993 and sold more than 800,000 copies in its first week.
βWhat is a publishing check?β he says. βWe donβt know what that is.β
He only got paid when he performed. His first $100,000 didnβt come from his music. It came from a malt liquor commercial.
Then he signed with Master P. P drove him around Louisiana and told him to pick out a house. It was the first thing ever put in Snoopβs name. Then a truck. Then an accountant.
βDeath Row showed me the show,β Snoop says. βHe showed me the business.β
In 2021, Death Row changed hands inside a $385 million music deal. A year later, Snoop bought it. βItβs not like I stole it,β he says. βI bought it.β
His cousin Daz Dillinger helped make The Chronic and Doggystyle. Snoop pays him some, Daz says, but heβs βgoing off bad paperwork.β Daz wants 50% of the masters.
Snoop bought the old contracts along with the catalog. Paying Daz more than they say means paying out of his own pocket for deals made thirty years ago.
On the Street, when you buy a company, you buy its promises too. Even the ones nobody wrote down.
You finally own the label that shorted you. Your cousin says youβre shorting him. Do you hide behind the same paperwork, or pay him out of your own pocket?

Ice Cube was $100,000 short on a house. He went to his label's office with a baseball bat. The next day, he got a check for $100,000.
The phone call, he says: "Cube, I don't know what you talking about. I don't remember saying I would give you that." His answer: "I'm on my way up there."
Early 1990s, Los Angeles, Priority Records. His 1990 debut album had already gone platinum, and he was trying to close on a house. He says he walked in with his crew and a bat. The boss was in the bathroom. When he came out, they were waiting. Cube says he "rearranged his office for him."
Downstairs, he says, the LAPD was waiting at the elevator. The other owner told police he wanted no charges. Then he asked Cube to call him the next day.
Label co-founder Bryan Turner told Rolling Stone: "That did actually happen." He said he should have renegotiated.
The movie Straight Outta Compton made it one scene. In the video below, Ice Cube tells how it really went, starting with what the movie got wrong.
Was he wrong, if it was the only way to get what he was promised?

Michael Jackson was asked under oath where his cash came from. His answer was the cows.
The tape was recorded in London. A former business partner, Marc Schaffel, was suing him and said Jackson owed him millions. Jackson refused to come to trial, so in 2006 the jury watched this tape instead.
"How would you get cash?" the lawyer asks.
"I never wanted to go through the accountants. I would just simply get it at Neverland."
From where? "The leasing of the cows. Believe it or not."
Then the lawyer asks about the fast food bag. Schaffel once brought Jackson cash in an Arby's bag. The money smelled like french fries. After that, they called cash "french fries."
"And you remember sometimes asking him to supersize those fries?"
Later he is asked if he ever had a cash flow problem in his adult life. The man behind the best selling album of all time answers: "I've heard of cash flow problems."
In the video below you can watch him answer.
The jury split it. Jackson had to pay Schaffel, and Schaffel had to pay Jackson $200,000 back.
Did he really have no idea where his money went, or did he just not want to say?
