Cash Money Records co-founder
Birdman is no stranger to being embroiled in money conversations, but after declaring just how many millions he pockets from the work of his label’s artists, it is safe to say he will continue to be a topic of discussion.
During a sit-down with Wallace “Wallo” Peeples, the flashy rapper and record executive explained how he makes a profit without lifting a finger.

“We license the music,” said Birdman during the interview for the “Where’s Wallo” podcast. “I just started letting people sample my s–t, so yeah it’s a gang of ways you make money with yo masters. We generate $20-, $30 million a year just on our masters.”

Birdman, the co-founder of the successful Cash Money Records empire, recently shared that the fruits of his label’s labor are still plentiful and abundant. In a recent interview, the music mogul says that the outfit rakes in millions of dollars off its master recordings across its stable of artists.
Bryan “Birdman” Williams sat down with Wallace “Wallo” Peeples for his Where’s Wallo podcast and video series. With his signature confidence and calm demeanor, the Cash Money honcho made several mentions of his legacy, the early beginnings of him and his brother Ronald “Slim” Williams’ foray into the music biz, and hoping to get the company valued to a billion and more.
