“I built a billion-dollar empire with Drake and Nicki Minaj.” 💰🔥
Birdman says signing Drake and Nicki Minaj completely changed the future of Young Money forever.
According to Birdman, once Drake and Nicki blew up, the label started generating insane revenue through chart-topping albums, sold-out tours, streaming success, endorsements, and nonstop hits dominating the industry year after year.
For more than a decade, Drake and Nicki were everywhere at the same time — radio, clubs, playlists, social media, award shows — literally running the rap game during the Young Money era. 🦅🔥
Love them or hate them, their impact on hip-hop culture is impossible to ignore. The Young Money run really became one of the most legendary eras in modern rap history.
