The man who discovered Drake, Jas Prince, is demanding more cash money from Cash Money.
Jas Prince is still trying to get money off Drake’s career, a feat he attempted back in 2012 when he sued Drake’s management. Now he’s coming after Cash Money and Birdman directly. More legal trouble involving unpaid dues for the Cash Money label.
Back in 2012, Jas filed a lawsuit after being stiffed on payments from Drake’s management– he also claimed Drake himself was being cheated out of money from his management (sound familiar?). Perhaps the lawsuit was never completely settled, because now Jas has filed legal documents demanding that Cash Money open their books to find out how many millions of dollars Drake has made for the label.
Jas says that he’s been compensated only $2 million for discovering the Toronto rapper, but he believes Drizzy has made Cash Money $40 million. Simply put, he’s looking for more dollars. He’s not the only one coming at Cash Money right now, with recent lawsuits from both Weezy and Turk targeting the label.
