Birdman Forced To Apologize at Gunpoint Outside NY Hot 97 According To Wendy Day!

News inside

Wendy Day explains how Freddie Foxxx forced 

Birdman to apologize to her for not being paid for her 

services to Cash Money. In the first of a two-part 

interview with Nah Right, industry insider Wendy Day 

explained to writer Jimmy Ness how she helped 

broker deals like the signing of No Limit Records to 

Priority and a $30 million distribution deal with 

Universal for Cash Money.

Running down a number of behind-the-scenes stories, 

Day, who founded the non-profit organization Rap 

Coalition in 1992, detailed how Cash Money long \

operated as a shady business by not paying 

employees, rent, and associated business operations 

expenses. When the company and Birdman 

continually refused to pay her for her services, Day 

explained that Birdman was forced to apologize by 

gunpoint by rapper Freddie Foxxx.

“They just cut off communication,” she said when 

asked about not being paid by the label. “At one point, 

one of my artist friends bumped into Birdman and put 

a gun to his head and made him call and apologize to 

me, which he did. He [Birdman] called me up and said 

“oh, your friend just pulled me out of Hot 97 and I’m 

here on the street, on my knees and I want to 

apologize to you.

I really didn’t care about the apology. I wanted to 

know, why would somebody shit on someone that 

changed their life for the better? I just couldn’t wrap 

my head around that and he couldn’t really give me a 

good answer. Maybe because he was a little scared 

himself based on the situation.”

Day added on, “He [Birdman] said to me, ‘sue me, 

when I have to pay you, you’ll get paid.’ He said it very 

nonchalantly and very matter-of-factly, and as time 

wore on I saw that he didn’t pay anybody. He didn’t 

pay the t-shirt manufacturers, he didn’t pay the Fruit of 

Islam for security, he didn’t pay security guards for 

security, he didn’t pay his staff, he didn’t pay his office 

rent. They didn’t pay anybody.”

When asked about the artist that forced the apology, 

Day admitted that it was Freddie Foxxx. “It was 

actually Freddie Foxx and I think that he has spoken 

about it so I don’t think it’s incriminating,” she said, 

“plus more than seven years have passed.”

Elsewhere in the interview Day detailed her work with 

Tupac Shakur—”it was for his company to set up day-

care centres, a record label and community centres” 

she said—and dealings with G-Unit, Slick Rick, Master 

P, and more. The second part of Jimmy Ness’ 

conversation with Wendy Day will include details of 

her role in helping Dr. Dre discover Eminem and more 

about her experience in the industry.
