Birdman is looking to get Cash Money back together for a reunion tour ā and heās promised to blow a major bag to make it happen.
During an Instagram Live interview from the comfort of his private jet on Wednesday (September 13), the New Orleans rap mogul revealed plans to hit the road with the original stars of his iconic label now that B.G. has been released from prison.

While Birdman didnāt get into specifics, he did say that the āmain playersā will be involved, alluding to Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G. and Mannie Fresh. It doesnāt sound like fellow Hot Boy Turk, however, will be getting an invite.
āWe definitely going on tour. Iām putting up $100 mil for it myself,ā Baby said. āBut one thing for certain, two things for sure, I aināt guaranteeing that itās gonna be everybody. Iām standing on business and thatās what it is. If it work out, it work out. If it donāt, it donāt. But we definitely gonna get this money, thatās for a fact.ā

He added: āI donāt think itās gonna be everybody, personally. Shit, I really donāt give a fuck ā as long as we getting it. The main players gonna be there. First of all, I aināt got nothing against no Turk at all, heās still a [Hot Boy]. But Iām standing on business.ā
Elsewhere during the conversation, Birdman elaborated on his frosty relationship with his former signee. When asked why Turk didnāt get the same āred carpet treatmentā as B.G. following his prison release in 2012, Stunna replied: āTo be honest, Turk aināt have a relationship before he went to jail. I aināt have a relationship with Turk, not at all.ā
He added: āA lot of n-ggas do shit, say shit, and I aināt forgiven everybody. Iām old school, old law, G code.ā
Despite Birdmanās comments, Turk recently spoke about his desire to reunite with the Hot Boys following B.G.ās return home, suggesting it was āonly a matter of timeā until the stars align.
āFor 20-something years, thereās been off and on talk about a reunion,ā he told TMZ. āThe situation was always somebody wasnāt around. I was locked up, I did eight years, eight months, 16 days, then the very year I came home, thatās when I think B.G. got sentenced in 2012.

āSo the fans been wanting it for like 20 years. I believe we all want it too. I know I want it. So itās only a matter of time when the right stars line up and things gonna work themselves out.ā
While it remains to be seen whether a Cash Money reunion tour comes together ā and how many of the labelās luminaries will be involved ā B.G. appears to be dead-set on making up for lost time now that heās a free man.
During a recent FaceTime call with 2 Chainz after getting out of prison, the New Orleans native said heās looking to āflood the streetsā with as many as eight new albums and get back to performing post-haste.
āIf everything work out, man, I should be back on the road by November, man, December,ā he said. āIām lookinā forward to it, but Iām boutta get in this lab ā do me about seven, eight albums right quick, and just get to leakinā that shit, man, puttinā that shit out, floodinā the streets.ā
