Some people may have forgotten about rapper Mystikal and found his signing with Cash Money this week to be a bit of a surprise, but the New Orleans native says that the deal has been in place for quite some time. In fact, he says it was in place even before his release from prison earlier this year.
“It was actually materializing for a while now,” Mystikal said in a recent interview with VIBE. “The conversation started when I was going through my incarceration. And those conversations continued once I came home. The right things happened and the right kind of deal was made. What I got from Wayne was don’t be to astounded by what you are seeing because this is nothing. Let’s go make history. That’s a young dude telling me that. Coming from him and given the big things he’s doing right now, that was right on for me.”
“Even Ray Charles could see what was happening over at Cash Money. The minute I went over there and stepped my foot in the studio I knew it was real. I never thought I would go from No Limit to Cash Money. It was like God was leading me. Imagine what I can do over here,” said Mystikal.
After having a colorful life story so far he gives some tips on fake freindships.
“The number one thing that I learned is you have to watch your friends. Watch your surroundings and watch the people that you cry out to for help. Because by the time they come your situation will become far worse. I have to be really careful who I have around me.”
