  • In this exclusive sit-down with Yo Gotti, we dive deep into the multifaceted world of one of hip-hop's top CEOs. Gotti opens up about the challenges of running a label, his approach to artist management, time management, and some unexpected business failures. He reflects on the intricacies of 360 deals, the consequences of not paying taxes for half a decade, and the hurdles faced with his restaurant venture.
    As a pioneering independent artist, Gotti shares insights on streaming, his collaboration with Jay Z on prison reform, his ambitious attempt to buy the Memphis Grizzlies, and becoming an owner of DC United. He also touches upon his investment in Faze Clan, partnership with Universal, and gives invaluable business advice. Plus, discover what Gotti really looks for in up-and-coming artists and his thoughts on the future impact of A.I. in the music industry.

    Didn’t really think about CMG being one of the hottest labels out until he named everybody under the label. Too many heavy hitters 🔥🔥🔥

    Before I listen to this. I respect Yo Gotti for just grinding so long. I remember when he signed with Cash Money and wasn't shouted out enough like I felt he should have, this brother kept going. Musically still makes great bangers. Glad to see his Team strong after years of grinding. His success was not instant.

This interview along with the Jordyn Woods interview on revolt are BULLSHIT! People like Yo Gotti and Woods are BAD examples for up and coming/aspiring legit entrepreneurs. Woods is a rich young lady who trying to become a succesful entrepreneur and most people who follow Yo Gotti's blueprint don't make it to become legit before becoming dead or in jail over that bullsh!t shit street life. Also, Never let anyone (NO matter how much money she/he has) interrupt you meeting just to give you a fucK!n hug which could be done either before or after your meeting is done- Micheal Ruben was RUDE to do that but he did it on person to stunt his American white/fake jew privilege.
