Druski Was Understandably Rattled After Birdman Confronted Him On Instagram Live

Well, that was awkward! 

As most of you know, Cash Money Records is the label created by Ronald and Bryan Williams, better known as "Slim" and "Birdman". This record label saw one of the greatest runs by any artist in recent memory, the one they call Lil' Wayne. I'll go as far as saying that he's is the primary reason that Cash Money Records is where they are today, he was their big break. The guy went on an absolute tear from ~1999 onward but damn near harpooned his career when he did this:  
Lil' Wayne is (was? are they beefing?) Birdman's protegé and basically a son to him, hence the ballad they made together called "Stuntin' Like My Daddy". 

To be clear, Birdman isn't really his dad, but they're so closely bonded that they french kiss from time to time, as friends often do.
 

Anyway, Druski started a record label, because of course he did. Why not? He knows everyone across multiple industries and he's blown up in recent years, may as well strike while the iron's hot. It's called "Coulda Been Records". There's just one problem.  


He copied the Cash Money Records logo. 


Visibly shaken on that call, but wouldn't you be? Stammering and stunned, this had to be a humbling moment. As it turns out, copying a logo and infringing on one's livelihood is a direct breach of the unspoken code of ethics and Birdman did NOT take very kindly to it. Druski is a comedian, most everything he does is satire but Birdman was not amused by him pulling this gag and he sure as shit let him know. Plus, is it really a gag if he's signing actual artists, like Jack Harlow? Druski was apologetic and claimed he was going to share the spoils with Birdman some way or another, but Birdman just hung up on him. WOOF. Druski abruptly ended the video after that and presumably cried for several hours/tried to reach out. Never meet your heroes! I hope everything gets smoothed over - Druski is a career jokester but Birdman doesn't appear to be in the business of playing silly-goose games.

Jeff Goodman Is A Loser

I've been at war with the national media for almost 7 years. It's not a big deal, but I've been fighting the good fight ever since "Schiano Sunday" in late 2017 when my eyes were opened to the shit that happens when media members "befriend" coaches and athletic directors. It's a dangerous game and there's a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering to make sure stories break the way that people want them to.  Whenever you're reading anything that's written by these select few, just know that they're very sensitive, fragile individuals. Jeff Goodman, Pat Forde, Dan Wolken, Dennis Dodd... they're all hyper-sensitive and soft. If a coach/AD is friendly and makes these dorks feel important, then they generally act nicer and will even volunteer to carry their water. If a coach/AD is mean to them in a presser or ignores calls and doesn't scratch their belly, then they tend to become very fussy and resort to hit pieces. This is the way t

FFB WEEK 13 - TWELVE TAKEAWAYS

Come on into the Fantasy Football Boys lounge where we talk fantasy football. Welcome! Fancy a beer while you wait? Cocktail? Ok, cool, what'll it be? Ice cold Schlitz? Nice choice, I can tell you're a real diplomat. Get comfortable in one of our fine leather chairs, we're gonna be here a while. Oh, you're ready to talk shop? You wanna talk fantasy football? Perfect, me too.  1. It is officially Threat Level Midnight for Patrick Mahomes . On Sunday, he was bad. 21/33 for 210 yards, 1 touchdown, and an interception. Again, chalk it up to the lack of a standout receiver or injuries on the offensive line, but it's been a grind if you're starting Mahomes, no other way to put it. Dare I say something I never thought I'd say: He's become a liability if you're a playoff contender. It was yet another miserable fantasy output, and he's now put up <20 fantasy points in 7 of his last 9 games. The concern level is at an all-time high and fantasy owners ar

FFB WEEK 14 - PLAYOFF EDITION: TWELVE TAKEAWAYS

Image
It's the playoffs, baby.    1. Justin Jefferson's fantasy corpse was reanimated this week for some excellent fantasy production .  Oops! He got injured again and there were 3 total points scored all game. If ever there was a game that embodied a fart noise, it was this one. It wasn't exactly the explosive return we'd all hoped for as Jefferson may or may not have had internal bleeding after a hit in the first half. It was a mighty gut-punch for fantasy owners that thought they were getting a healthy Jefferson back after 8 weeks on the shelf just for him to leave early again and go to the hospital. The guy can't catch a break and the presumed WR1 heading into the season is now just WR46 thanks to some shit luck with injuries. What a ripoff for the fantasy owners that drafted him, I hope they're doing okay.  2. Bench Patrick Mahomes . I've seen enough. The Chiefs are a mess and for the first time in his career, Patrick Mahomes seems stressed. I've never se
