A former Hot Boy member is reaching out to fans for financial support. Rapper Turk recently created a GoFundMe page to assist with paying off his $5 million debt.
Per his Instagram account, Turk posted a lengthy message on why he’s requesting help, revealing that it has been hard for him to assimilate back into the work force since his near decade-long sentence for felony possession of a firearm, to illegal drug possession. He was convicted in 2004 and released in 2012.
“I find it harder and harder everyday trying to maintain,” he wrote, later stating, “There is no secret stash. This isn’t a conspiracy theory. This is what happens when a man faces his actions, does his time, and, returns home to live free. The debt to society has been paid. The restitution has been paid.”

On terms of unpaid royalties, Turk previously sued Cash Money Records for $1.3 million. He later dropped his suit and reached a settlement with the label out of court, but it’s still unclear how much he received at the end of the case.

Wtf? Just because you can't get a job after prison doesn't mean you can rack up $5 milli debt.
This is some dumb ? .

To quote jay:
"How can I help the poor if I'm one of them?" -

You mean baby shoulda paid him
I have no idea how Turk is five mil in debt though
He was in jail for ten years and was the least popular of everyone on cash money in terms of sales from that hot boy era, so I'm not sure how he could spend so much bread....
In any event, this is a reflection on birdman and his business ways. If you a family and brand yourself as such, you should make sure your people are right. If i eat, my family eats. Period. Birdman called Turk, bg, and Wayne his sons. If he really means that, they should all be straight.
That is not the case though
He flossing and they hurting
Some family -
I wouldnt dare fund, a ? that help create the bling bling lifestyle, the ? better learn how to live frugal.
-
This is messed up. Now he finna see who his real friends are....
I remember that cop that got shot in that incident was actually trying to sue him (even though it was proven it came from friendly gun fire and Turk was doing time behind it), I don't know how that ever turned out in the courts or if that could be part of this 5mill he being sued for.... -

We can blame birdman but its really how these ? handle they money tbh. -
More than likely from medical bills and such, I think his wife had multiple bouts with cancer, don't quote me on that though
-
That's prolly his recording contract because he went to the bing. So he wasn't able to fulfil the albums he was supposed to give them (Cash Money).
Dayum Turk, maann the Birdman is evil sheesh...
It's going to be an interesting day when Drake and Nicki Minaj decide to leave Cash Money. Cuz you know Birdman is NOT going to give them up without a fight and if he do they'll be lucky to get their masters or monies owed to them for their prior recordings.
Drake will have less trouble. He might have a bit of trouble getting paid royalties, etc. after he leaves though.
Nicki I think will have more trouble because she doesn't have:
1. The rapalot backing/cosign
2. The Jewish connect
3. Being signed directly to republic like drake -
To actually paraphrase the actual ghetto financial philosopher Atari F50's actual fiscal insight: Turk ain't worth $5 mil with $5 mil in his pocket
? better hit the spoiled chitlin circuit & be grateful 4 every WIC wedding reception & section 8 baby shower he books
Maybe he'll get lucky & some Chinese buffet will hire him to be for them what Celine Dion is for Vegas -

Yeah just like I thought, I checked his Instagram after seeing @MrCrookedLetter 's latest post. Its them laws after him I think cause they suing him behind the shooting. Thing is, it was like 2 other ppl in that apartment and I don't think the laws is suing them other two.....
