Bryan "Birdman" Williams and his brother Ronald "Slim" Williams have emerged from a low income environment in New Orleans to become multi-millionaires as co-owners of Cash Money Records.
We've watched as they have made stars out of Juvenile, Turk, B.G., Lil Wayne, Mannie Fresh, Drake, Nicki Minaj and others, but what we haven't been privy to is the behind the scenes work the brothers have put in to build their empire. That will soon change.
While speaking at the Brooklyn Law School recently, Birdman, revealed that an all encompassing Cash Money biopic is on the way.
“Can I tell you something my brother told me? He said everything we’ve ever did – and I got 20 plus years selling records – nothing we ever did is worth more than that script. I’m excited about the script. That’s something I really want to do," Baby said, via XXL.
The business mogul added that he's been inspired by the movie "Straight Out of Compton" and gave props to Dr. Dre and Ice Cube.
“I think that Dr. Dre and Ice Cube…I think they are geniuses for what they have done and accomplished,” he continued. “For them to do that and to make it trend-setting, they opened doors for us. And I just think that what we have is way more special, because we’re in modern times.”
A book could be the lead in to the film Birdman said. It's something he's still trying to figure out, but he's already working on the movie script and promised that there will be a lot of background information in it that the public is not aware of.
"Ive been working on a script ... this is gold," Baby said. "There’s a lot of things that people don’t know that we went through, things that happened behind the scenes of the company, things that happened before we was with Universal. So we got a lot of stories, but the way I’m putting it together is gonna be great and it's gonna be special.”
