Baby Denies Attempt To Sign Soulja Boy

Saturday, April 30 2011 5:40 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Gossip

Could SB be taking his talents over to Cash Money? Well DeAndre tells Rap-Up about the possibility of the move and his recent meeting with Birdman.

“I met with Baby and Slim down in Miami. He’s trying to get me to come over to Cash Money. I still got paperwork with Interscope Records, so I’m just trying to figure out what I’ma do. I got a lot of great options on the table. I’ve been a fan of Cash Money since I was young. I’ve been listening to Birdman’s music since I was growing up. I would have never thought. I’m taking it into consideration. Birdman, we really had a good talk when we met. But I’m still young. I’m only 20 years old. So after I do these two albums, I either have the choice to go back to Interscope and re-up, do my contract over, or I can go down to Miami with Cash Money.”

UPDATE: Birdman denies the claim via Twitter:

YMCMB busine$$ real talk.I neva tried 2 sign n0b0dy thts already sign 2 s0meb0dy.we d0nt r0ck like tht.I neva tried 2 sign s0ulja.but I respect tha lil h0mey wrk keep getn it$$$$
