Da Band’s Chopper Signs to Cash Money

Thursday, December 7, 2006
By: Kenny Rodriguez


ChopperIt seems the Bad Boy curse will never end – another rapper has left Diddy’s label after feeling slighted by the hip-hop mogul.

Chopper, formerly of Da Band, has left Bad Boy and inked a deal with Baby of Cash Money Records.

“I believe if I’m working with you, you are me,” the New Orleans native told MTV News. “You’re a part of me if we’re getting this together.”

“Puff is a multi-millionaire, I’m a thousand-naire at that time, grinding. I shot the [‘I See You Lil Daddy’] video and the remix with Lil Wayne and Jody Breeze without him even giving me an advance check. I did that thinking it was all love. [Then] Katrina hit, boom, took away my house, took away a lot of stuff from my family.”

“When that happened, I didn’t get no phone call [from Diddy],” Chopper added. “He didn’t call me and say, ‘Are you all right?’ He didn’t say, ‘I got these Sean John clothes and can make sure your family at least has clothes on its back.’ He didn’t do none of that.”

“So at the end of the day, I felt played. That’s why I wanted to disband myself from the Bad Boy situation.”

Meanwhile, Diddy has responded to Chopper’s comments and claims the label did in fact pay for Chopper’s videos.

“[He] is a former disgruntled artist of Bad Boy who obviously has an axe to grind,” Diddy said. “We wish him well in his future career.”

Chopper is now in Miami working on his Cash Money debut, “Fast Life,” which will feature appearances by Lil Wayne, Chingy, and the late Soulja Slim.

Chopper got my support. Dude gotta do what he gotta do. However baby,(cash money ceo) is known for not paying his artist, so if i was choppa i would be a little worried because the grass aint always greener elsewhere.

He has the potential to make a good cd, but like krimeboss said bout the $ thing, hopefully he doesnt get F*cked over like the others that were a part of cash money

Diddy is a fake snitch Bia'ch... Chopper aka young city got my support... I always saw him as a solo artist... C cya

He's leaving a F*cked up situation to be with an even more F*cked up situation, at least when your album actually does drop on bad boy, diddy actually pays you. He ain't about to get sh*t from baby and lil' wayne is not gonna let him be as big as him, he better off using bad boy as a latter to kickstart his own sh*t. Baby 'bout to F*ck him like he F*ck*n' weezy and like he F*cked the other hot boys. Chopper (young city) (chopper city? he need to sign with b.g. Since he on his tip!) watch out!

That wat up n*gga keep it real fa new orleans f*** that n*gga he dnt have to do sh*t fa new orleans people but u should sign wit b.g cause baby and wayne is fake and da fa real uptown n*gga holla at me wayne and baby if u got something to say

It will be hard for chopper to eat at cash money too baby only pays lil wayne thats why they got the artists that the do have look at the past it always repeats it self

I believe chopper...... Diddy all about self and his own vain glory. It's like a child that father won't come around to see him because he doesn't have no $$$$ money to buy his kid a pair of kicks or a bike... When all the really kid want is a hug and to know you care. Then when the kid grow up with resentment for his dad.... The father wanna know what he did wrong. Playing dumb. I felt like puff shouldda called chaopper just to see if him and his family was good after the storm... I mean damn__ the man did like 3 seasons of a tv show with you.. Don't that amount to anything in terms of realtionship. Diddy got it coming though... They all do. One!

Diddy & jay 2 peas in f'in pod, when katrina hit they gave 1 mil' cud've done more dat wuz it, jay made minority report, but do da katrina victims get a cut a of his record sells no he just gettin reimbursed for da money "donated" to hurricane katrina victims....diddy cud've helped dat man out.. I don't know if he's better wit cash money but we'll see. Cash money got wut a couple of artist currency, wayne, da chick dat sing keke wyatt ....????i think he may have a chance to shine a lil bit.. Diddy and jay shady

Damn thats messed up if diddy didn't even call to say "i'm sorry can i do anything" but hey that is the music "busineess" and thats just what diddy is about (his business). I wish chopper nothing but luck over at cash money he's going to need it.

Lol diddy kong is wack. Seanjohn is nice and all, but diddy has definitely lost respect.
Posted by Jae Good
Diddy???? someone please tell that fool that his cd sounded alot like justin timberlake. My daughter listens to them both usually together. Chopper should have a bangin cd if u like baby and wayne. I'll be buyin it.
Posted by Halo B
I wonder if chopper is gonna have to start kissing baby and lil wayne on the mouth! cash money is gonna turn him out before he sees any paper! zeros over there, kissin lips. What is the point of that, fo real?
Posted by hiphopizdead
This comes to no suprise. Being that a lot of rappers flaunt money spending as a tool of power in the black communitry when in reality it is teaching our people to waste their money on material items that will eventually depreciate in value (ie, fancy cars, and jewelry). I remember watching "the band" and one of the first things they bought was a platinum chain. The same thing is going to happen to this brother at cash money records if he does not have his mind focused on doing the right thing with his money.

Well even though dats messed up how diddy did chopper like dat i still respect da n*gga diddy. He like da only rapper dat went to college. And even dough hiz ryhmes suck hot ass he still makin mad money off deez suckaz dat he signin. As for chopper man best of luck

I'm glad diddy showed his true colors. Cuz it let chopper know what time it was. And it was time for him to make a move with another label that would give him what he needs. Much love go out to chopper and a lot of love go out to cash money.

Thats messed up p-diddy is a millonnair and he cant even help someone in time of need. I see why many artist has left his lable and many has only one hit, and you dont even see them in years. Let me give some advice to people in the world wateva ya do dont sign to bad boys because they bad buisness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
