A guy you dont know, makes his music buys himself a Veyron at 25y/o whats not to admire about that?
I wish i had a Veyron at 25. Most ppl that own these cars are either born wealthy or are older men.

haters make me laugh.
Every other song on every hip hop radio network in the country features one, if not several of birdman's artists. The man is a genius in his field of work, whether you respect him or not.
Just some random snippets from the internet about birdman (I do not know the validity behind these statistics):
"By the time Birdman was 22 he had already amassed a net worth of $40 million."
"when Cash Money signed with Universal they negotiated a deal which would allow them to own their masters, a deal that not even The Beatles ever had." = genius
"amassed a personal fortune of $400 million" (probably a lot more now with drake and nikki minaj sitting on top of the charts)
"Bryan "Baby" and Ronald "Slim" Williams haven’t forgotten where they came from. They have become a philanthropic force in the New Orleans community. The brothers formed the Johnny and Gladys Williams Foundation, in memory of their parents. The foundation donates food, offers scholarships and provides housing for the less fortunate. The Cash Money for Kids program donates tickets for every New Orleans Hornets home game to underprivileged kids with good grades"
"the brothers take 85% of their royalties and own their masters."
and a few words of wisdom from the man himself:
“You should educate yourself. Read up on it. That’s what I did. I read [about] who I was trying to come into this game to be,” he shares. “Know what you’re getting yourself into. To be successful and to be a businessman, you’ve got to know all parts of your business. You may have other people doing the job, but you’re supposed to know your business. If you don’t know your business, you’re going to get swallowed in it. There comes a point where you’re going to have to make decisions. I have to know where every dollar goes. Other people might not treat your money like you would.”
regardless of how he acts on camera, how he splurges just for the hell of it, or the fact that most of his lyrics are sad and pointless, he's on a level that most of us will never reach. and he worked for that. for every hater he has, there are a hundred people who aspire to be like him. I am one of them.
