    I don't know which is weirder to me...that you'd put a $2M bet on your team (ballin'!) or that, after losing said bet, you go party with the team that caused you to lose it. :dunno:

    According to Forbes, he's worth $400 million. So yeah...I don't think $2 million hurts him at all.

    I've never heard of him either. How the fuck can some rapper make $400,000,000 and have so many people not know who the fuck he is?

    Looks like he did most of his rapping over a decade ago, but he's built a business... and acquired very dubious spending habits:

    If anyone deserves to lose $2m gambling, it sounds like he does.

    yeah, I'm with Ed and Nate. No idea who he is, and initially I thought it was about Chris Andersen.

    It is amazing how so many no talent hacks make millions in the music industry, esp the rap portion

    This fool was in the middle of the whole down south rap explosion in the mid 90's! Straight shit music! Give quality hip hop a bad name!

    Southern rap was garbage, with the exception of a couple artists. It all sounded the same.

    You ask me, the founding fathers of the Dirty Dirty were amazing....... Outkast and Goodie Mob (Cee-Lo) were amazing.

    Exactly, Outkast and that's it imo. They made the shit famous and then a bunch of pretenders came along. Stankonia was the shit.
