Bobby Shmurda’s momager, Leslie Pollard, explains the reason behind Shmurda’s recent rant about not getting paid for his shows.
Shmurda’s mother and manager sat down with Billboard to explain why her son went off on Instagram. In the interview, Pollard, who has been acting as his manager for two months, says her son simply doesn’t understand that many others have to be paid before he gets his percentage.
“It’s not that he’s not getting paid, it’s that he’s new to the business,” she said.”There’s a chain of command that he has to go through before he gets his payment. I guess he’s thinking all the money should go from the front man to his hands — it doesn’t work like that. Of course they hold onto it so he actually does the show. Then it goes to his business manager, then to the touring accountant, and then to him.”
It’s a learning lesson for the young Brooklyn rapper.
