Birdman says he accomplished more than anyone in the music industry, including Jay-Z & Diddy.
Birdman has been in the news lately after his insightful long interview on REVOLT’s “Big Facts Podcast” where he talked on various topics about his life and hip-hop. Birdman is one of the greatest minds of hip-hop, who helped build careers of the likes of Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj. In his new interview, Diddy also claimed that he has accomplished more than anyone in the music industry, including Hip-Hop giants Jay-Z and Diddy.
“As a man, I accomplished more than all of them. And I don’t say that in a disrespectful way, I’m not trying to be disrespectful,” says Birdman. “But the reality of it is, none of these dudes accomplished more than me in the music business. Not one of them, I don’t care what name you say, accomplished more than me. That’s facts. No if, and buts about it.”
Then the hosts mentioned Puff Daddy, to which Birdman says, “Man, he’s one of the ni**as that turned me up. And I’ll never say anything negative about Puff. I’m not gonna deprive that he that [put a lot of people on]. But I don’t think they did more than me. And you can ask him yourself, he’ll vouch for it. You can ask JAY-Z himself, he’ll vouch for it. They ain’t accomplished more than me in this music business and that’s facts. Yeah, I did that. Big bank, big boy. I did that, brother, no cap.”

Despite the fact that Cash Money has sold over one billion albums and amassed hundreds of millions of dollars, Birdman thinks he does not receive the same level of credit as his contemporaries, who are frequently recognized for their contributions to hip-hop culture and financial acumen.
“I ask myself those questions,” he says when asked why he’s not as revered as other CEOs in the game. “When you’re speaking of music, I should be the forefront of it. Not to say these other dudes ain’t accomplish nothing ’cause we got great men [who] did it before us, the Russell Simmons, all of ’em, the Jay-Zs. These ni**as did this sh*t before me, but they ain’t did more than me. I would never speak down on no ni**a, that ain’t my thing, I ain’t come up like that, but I just look at it like maybe my mission ain’t finished. Let me finish my mission because they honor these dudes more than me and I know for a fact nare one of ’em outsold me, accomplished more than me, did more than me and I say that humbly with respect ’cause I respect all those dudes who did it before me. But they never accomplished more than me, but I don’t get the gratitude for my accomplishments.”
