YBN was one of the fast-rising groups in Hip-Hop, and then it popped. Now, Cordae is giving the reason for the spit.
Appearing next to YouTuber Peaks100, Cordae revealed what caused the end. “The business side of it was kind of like, super f—ed up, honestly.”
He added, “N—-s got into a big argument in Europe. People say certain things they can’t take back. It’s still love, but it’s just some sh-t that you just can’t take.”
Numbers this, numbers that. Everyone wants to talk figures these days. So let’s talk them. While on The Breakfast Club, Cordae was asked about his first week numbers, with Charlamagne Tha God asking did he flop. If you ask Cordae, he has not and that’s just Internet chatter.
“No. Because, probability of that, it’s some white boy in Indiana,” Cordae replied. “Not that it’s a race thing, but it’s the truth of the people that run those. If you look at channels like that, their whole channel subscribes to a bunch of negativity. That’s what they’re about. Every artist in music, you can find something negative and nitpick at where they lack in some department.”
He added, “I had other albums that didn’t have a strong first week but again, my tour ended up doing super well. And then later on it grows and becomes a larger thing. Why spend all this time focusing on one week? You’re focusing on one week when there’s 52 weeks out of the year? You’re gonna just gonna give up on an album because it didn’t have a super strong first week?”
You can hear his reasoning below.
