So we remember just days ago, Bobby Shmurda took to IG to vent about not being paid for his performances. Well in the music biz, it’s not unheard of right? Well here’s where it gets interesting. His mom is his manager.
His mother and manager Leslie Pollard told Billboard that it isn’t that Bobby isn’t getting paid, but he doesn’t understand the business.
“It’s not that he’s not getting paid, it’s that he’s new to the business,” Leslie who’s been his manager for two months says. “There’s a chain of command that he has to go through before he gets his payment. I guess he’s thinking all the money should go from the front man to his hands — it doesn’t work like that. Of course they hold onto it so he actually does the show. Then it goes to his business manager, then to the touring accountant, and then to him.”
Leslie says her son was speaking impulsively and now understands how things work.
Bobby’s EP Shmurda She Wrote drops No. 10.
My two-cents: SMH … how you gone air your mom out. And I’m inclined to believe her since he had issues with his last manager just two months ago.
