Birdman and Slim on How Blindfolded Universal Exec Incident Led to Mutual ‘Respect’

From there, the two discussed Dino’s claim of a gun being placed on the table prior to the beginning of a meeting. Asked about the idea of “respect,” and whether that came after these key moments linked to then-in-progress Universal negotiations, Birdman and Slim both seemed to agree that the outcome was ultimately positive.

“It made me respect him,” Birdman said. “I was like, ‘Bro, alright. Now, let’s see what we can do. Let’s try to put a play together.’ I promise you, that ride, when he came to the projects, that’s how we ended up at Universal.'”

Birdman and Slim were recently given the Keys to the City of New Orleans from Mayor LaToya Cantrell, who praised the brothers’ “contributions to music and commitment to the community” when presenting them with the honor. Talk of the larger Cash Money legacy has been particularly high as of late, thanks in part to a confirmed Hot Boys reunion and speculation surrounding the Super Bowl at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans next year.

Back in February, for example, Cash Money alum Lil Wayne spoke on the possibility of taking part in the 2025 halftime proceedings.
