The rap entrepreneur claims that Birdman is the father of some of Cash Money Records’ biggest musicians in addition to being the label’s founder.
In 1991, Bryan “Birdman” Williams and his brother Ronald “Slim” Williams established Cash Money Records. Before bringing on musicians like Drake, Tyga, and Nicki Minaj, the duo discovered their specialty by signing rappers from New Orleans to their company.
When it comes to finding up-and-coming musicians, Birdman leads the charge. The greatest accomplishment of his career came within the first year of the label when he got to meet 8-year-old Dwayne “Lil Wayne” Carter Jr., also known as Baby D. In 1995, four years after their first meeting, Carter signed a 12-year-old contract with Cash Money.

This was no breakthrough for the label because he had signed Christopher “Lil Doogie” Dorsey, better known to most fans as BG, two years prior. As members of the rap trio BG’z in the early 1990s, Baby D and Lil Doogie released the album “True Story” in 1995.
As they strive for widespread recognition, Birdman is making every effort to provide opportunities for young talent. The record producer claimed to have reared the kids in a recent interview. Birdman said that Lil Wayne was taken from him by his mother. Birdman stated that “she didn’t want Wayne with me because she knew how I was living” in an interview with Apple Music from 2018.
Birdman claimed that Wayne moved back in with BG when BG was recording his album.
Rapper “Still Fly” declared, “BG has lived with me.” I got him from BG’s mom. When questioned in the interview how old he was at the time, he stated that BG and Lil Wayne were 13 years old, while he was 17 or 18. Birdman remarked, “I was a kid. Young people are raising young people.
His age is a little different, even though some of his narrative might be real. “Chopper City,” BG’s debut solo album, was released in 1996. The young rapper would have been 15 years old, Wayne would have been 13 years old, and Birdman would have been 26 years old if his album had been released in 1995.
