Another artist who helped to lay the foundation for Cash Money Records has filed a lawsuit against the label.
Turk, a former member of the Hot Boys, is taking Birdman and Slim to court in an attempt to collect money he was allegedly cheated out of.
TMZ reports that the lawsuit states that Cash Money never provided Turk with an accounting of the money he earned while on the label. He is asking a judge to award him at least $1.3 million in damages plus the rights to all of his masters.
This is the second lawsuit filed by an artist against Cash Money in just over a week. Lil Wayne is seeking $51 million and a release from his contract.
**UPDATE** February 7
Turk had a conversation with TMZ's Harvey Levin to talk about why he sued Cash Money Records.
"I haven't been paid any royalties," Turk told Harvey. "Artist royalties or publishing royalties, songwriting royalties. I haven't been accounted for any of it. I feel it's only right I get what I deserve. I helped build Cash Money. I'm an original Hot Boy. I started my career with Cash Money. I just feel like it's only right for them to give me what's due."
