Part 6: • Chingy on Older Artist...
Part 8: • Chingy on Money Disput...
Part 1: • Chingy on His Family B...
--------
In this clip, Chingy spoke about his first album, “Jackpot,” which featured big hits like “One Call Away,” “Holiday Inn,” and “Right Thurr.” Chingy also shared a story about having dreams of working with Jermaine Dupri when he was a kid, who he would later work with on “Pulling Me Back” ft. Tyrese. From there, Shawn Prez asked about Keisha Knight Pulliam being his love interest in the “One Call Away” music video. Chingy explained that the point was to show Keisha grown up, and he added that Keisha’s brother is still close with Ludacris’ DTP crew. Chingy then spoke about things changing with his second album, and he explained that he never had his own lawyer while he was on DTP. Chingy went on to explain that his mother thought he needed his own lawyer, which she got from his hometown in St. Louis. Chingy added that the new lawyer told him that DTP was “stealing” from him, which led to a meeting with DTP and the new lawyer. Chingy pointed out that he was young and clueless at the time, and he explained that he was confused that the lawyer said DTP was stealing from him. Chingy added that this led to him leaving DTP and going to Capitol, and he added that the new label didn’t know how to handle him like DTP.

You can tell Chingy still has respect for them despite how things played out. But it's funny how they stopped communicating with him instead of clearing it up and proving they didn't steal...I think the lawyer was telling the truth!
I like him even more. He seems so humble and the fact he gives credit to names no one knows but he makes sure to give them props speaks volumes to me. Salute chingy!

Chingy was just happy to make it whether they stole from him or not ... If the lawyer says they are stealing that means he found something in the contract that would suggest so. Now, why would you schedule a meeting and accuse them of stealing if that wasnt the case? at least have the lawyer explain why he thought they were stealing and where were they taking that money from or rather where should you have been paid that they didnt disclose.. Little wayne was in the same situation for years until someone gave him game that daddy was stealing from him and baby fought it to the end and then gave him his 40 million ... Poor chingy is still confused

I've always respected Chingy for what he did in the early 2000s. I was only 10 years old when Jackpot came out and I literally heard that album everywhere. I definitely would not consider him to be one of worst rappers at all. There is a laundry list of artists deserving of that title though.

I'm from Philly and the first time I seen an artist shut down the Gallery mall was Chingy. Puff didn't do it, Usher so many people, cause Philly just isn't that type of city, but that Friday he had to hide in the Modells sporting goods store till the mall close to get him outta there. I'm sure he'll remember that cause it was pure chaos.

Chingy wanted to be signed with JD, and I like that he mentioned Kris Kross (RIP Chris Kelly), liked how he mentioned the actress from Cosby show. This interview is so good. I could listen to this all day. This interviewer should have interviewed Fredro Starr. But I like Chingy's videos. I wanted him to work with Brandy back then. The industry is full of snakes and greed. I'm not surprised that they were stealing money from Chingy. He did the right thing. We missed him because he just disappeared. I am glad he is saying that having a lawyer is important. A lot of artists are being controlled and manipulated financially and they don't even know it until it's too late. It's great to him share his story. His mother would be so proud of him because he didn't sound bitter and in pain like other artists. Chingy just seems to move past it and moved on. But he still made sure his voice is heard regardless. His storytelling never changes and he keep it real.
And Til THIS Day Chingy has the whole community saying "Right Thurr" even though we've never been to his City 💯
Damn....Y'all not going to mention Jason Weaver singing the hook on One call away. He was a singer and was an Actor on Smart Guy....

Chingy was meant to be a star regardless of whether he signed with Luda or not. it was just the massive popularity Chingy had with the females that irritated Luda cause the ladies would come Luda concerts and all they would ask for is Chingy lol. But with Tity Boi (2Chainz) didn’t have the hustle and drive in him yet, I think Luda saw no use in trying to push him because of that. I hope all the new artist yet to come get an entertainment lawyer of their own, to look over the contract and make sure is not a scandalous deal.
Just finished the video. It's crazy how Chingy could have been a lead #2 in DTP & because an outsider got in the way of business the momentum of Chingy started to fall. Still making hits, but the value he had with DTP was a lot more than dolo.
