(OT) Betting on the Heat...rapper style

Last night was brutal for Miamians, but considering rapper Birdman had boasted he made a $2 million bet on the Heat in the NBA Finals, we figured he'd be a bit more despondent than the rest of us. Apparently watching his team and bank account lose didn't stop Baby from having a good time last night. He still donned his finest bling, got into the back of a Maybach, and headed to LIV to party with the Mavericks.

I don't know which is weirder to me...that you'd put a $2M bet on your team (ballin'!) or that, after losing said bet, you go party with the team that caused you to lose it.

dont try and figure this guy out, hes an enigma

 

[ironcrotch]

Probably cuz 2 mil is a drop in the bucket for him, he probably has 2 mil worth of diamonds in his teeth.

 

[Mamba]

According to Forbes, he's worth $400 million. So yeah...I don't think $2 million hurts him at all.

he's a terrible rapper tho

I'm glad I'm not alone in that regard.

I've never heard of him either. How the fuck can some rapper make $400,000,000 and have so many people not know who the fuck he is?

Looks like he did most of his rapping over a decade ago, but he's built a business... and acquired very dubious spending habits:

He claims that every 6 months he buys 100 new cars and gives away all the “old” ones. At any given time he is wearing millions of dollars worth jewelry including a 15 carat black diamond ring and matching earrings and a $500,000 grill on his teeth.

If anyone deserves to lose $2m gambling, it sounds like he does.

yeah, I'm with Ed and Nate. No idea who he is, and initially I thought it was about Chris Andersen.

It is amazing how so many no talent hacks make millions in the music industry, esp the rap portion

Southern rap was garbage, with the exception of a couple artists. It all sounded the same.

You ask me, the founding fathers of the Dirty Dirty were amazing....... Outkast and Goodie Mob (Cee-Lo) were amazing.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

outkast are legends, they are in a whole different universe

Exactly, Outkast and that's it imo. They made the shit famous and then a bunch of pretenders came along. Stankonia was the shit.

atliens and aquemini are the classics imo

Yes they are both good.
