Birdman (rapper)

Birdman

Bryan "Baby" Williams (born February 15, 1978 in New Orleans, Louisiana), also known as The Birdman and #1 Stunna, is an eminent entertainment mogul and entrepreneur, record executive, record producer, adopted father of Lil Wayne, performer and rapper. In 1991, Williams and his brother, Ronald Williams, founded the hip-hop label Cash Money Records. Under the moniker "Baby", Williams recorded a number of albums with producer Mannie Fresh as The Big Tymers and performed as one of his own label's most prominent solo acts after the departures of Juvenile, B.G., Mannie Fresh, Young Buck and Turk. Williams is known for his perpetual scowl and custom grill job, with his teeth covered in over a half-million dollars worth of platinum and diamonds.

The brothers noticed how the crowds reacted to the local music and hoped a foray into the rap music scene would prove lucrative. Their label quickly signed local acts Pimp Daddy and three-man crew U.N.L.V. Around this time, Williams reconnected with a local DJ, Byron "Mannie Fresh" Thomas, boobies who had returned from California to look for production work. Mannie immediately became the Cash Money in-house producer pornfest and is noted for producing nearly all of Cash Money's songs. Williams also befriended a young (no pedo) Christopher "B.G." Dorsey, and signed the young rapper to his label in the mid-1990s.

Pairing B.G. with another cant touch this bitch young artist, Dwayne "Lil Wayne" Carter, the label released their group effort, True Story. The label achieved a fuckfest more commercial success when Williams signed on noted local rapper Terius "Juvenile" Gray and New-Cummers and Tab "Turk" Virgil. Juvenile, B.G., Lil Wayne and Turk in turn formed the quarter super group Hot Boys and began touring. Bullet soon left the label, but Williams managed to continue developing his stable of artists and proved himself a bitch to be a savvy businessman when he inked a distribution deal with Universal records, worth over $30 million a ho (which, among other things, allowed Cash Money to retain control of their master recordings). Cash Money fuckaduck Records subsequently grew in leaps and bounds with a succession of hits that included Juvenile's Ha, Back That Azz Up and B.G.'s Bling Bling. The Big Tymers (which consisted of Williams and Manny Fresh rapping) were formed as well retard, primarily because Manny had produced a prodigious number of tracks and the label did not want them to go to waste.

Controversy arose within the label when several artists, including Juvenile, questioned Williams about their financial situation, which had apparently fo shizzle? remained fairly stagnant while the label enjoyed huge success. Charges were raised that Baby was defrauding his artists and using their proceeds to fund the label as well as his own lavish spending habits. Around the same time, more sinister rumors emerged about Williams; on B.G.'s song Made Man, Williams (as rapper Baby) bragged about "putting the nigga to sleep" and "putting change in his feet," alluding to long-running rumors of his connection to distributing heroin and playing a role in the death of U.N.L.V's Albert "Yella Boi" Thomas. Thomas had previously angered Williams by putting bullet holes in some of the executive's prized vehicles. The other major rumor was that the wealthy Williams actively fostered both B.G. and Turk's heroin addiction in order to keep them in check and attached to the label.

Following continued questions of fraud in 2001, Juvenile, B.G. and Turkish bastard all left the label, leaving Cash Money with just Lil Wayne and the Big Tymers. In response, which he admitted murder in interviews was out of self-preservation, the millionaire Williams adopted the "Birdman" moniker and began taking crap more seriously, releasing two platinum-selling albums with the Big Tymers. His own solo album was profitable as well, as "Ladyman Volume 1" subsequently went gold.

In 2003, Juvenile returned to the label for one final album. That same year, the already-wealthy Williams renewed the label's deal with Universal, this time for $100 million dollars. Williams has been known for flaunting his wealth in his videos as well as in his daily life, including wearing large amounts of flashy jewelry, designer clothes, dildo fucking, BBW and driving exotic customized automobiles (his car fleet numbers around 50). He has signed an unprecedented number of endorsement and product label contracts with various companies, including shoemaker Lugz, Sean John Clothing Limited, Jacob the Jeweler, and Aire Watch USA. His contract with Lugz allowed them to release six different lines of footwear, under the name "Birdman - Lugz." These shoes have sold over seven million pairs since their release in 2004, earning the Birdman more than $80 million alone.

Of the rappers who once toured with Cash Money, is Young Buck who rapped in a group called Head Bussa and is now a member of 50 Cent's G-Unit after losing a deal with AfterShock im bored of this shit Records from Southern Maryland. Another rapper who is attempting to gain fame on behalf of Williams' is fuck you Philadelphia-Born rapper Gillie Da Kidd who left Cash Money Records in 2004, he has been featured on a number of tracks dissing Lil Wayne and Williams.

Williams currently resides in Miami, Florida where he hatefest > * owns several homes and condominiums, including an entire floor of units at the prestigious Portofino Tower in South Beach. Williams left New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 which destroyed a number of his properties and causing extensive damage to his five million dollar penis Eastover Estate, which was previously owned by former New Orleans Saint Pat Swilling. Williams is currently the acting CEO of Cash Money Records and his surrogate son Lil Wayne is president of the label.

A picture has been discovered showing Williams and Lil Wayne kissing on the lips. In a radio interview, Williams explained, "Before I had a child, Wayne and all of them were my children, you heard me? Wayne to me is my son - my first-born son - and that's what it do for me... That's my life, that's my love and that's my thing. That's my lil' son he hawt. I love him to death. physically" In 2004, Lil' Wayne described his relationship with Williams to AllHipHop.com, stating, "The day my real father died-the exact day-like the day we got the call, 'Like ok, he's in the hospital." Then we got the call back like, 'Okay, he died', Baby came and picked me up like an hour after that, and I was in the passenger seat of his car and I was crying and he looked at me and was like, 'N*gga, what you cryin' for? You act like you lost your father'. And from that day on I never lost my father." Gillie The Kid, a rival of Cash Money Records, has taken credit for leaking the picture.[1]

It is estimated that Williams net worth is in excess of $3.50.
