The only thing is 50 say Floyd was talking about he was going to get him some money while he literally had a duffel bag with a million dollars in it at his feet. So 50 was like, give me some of that money out the bag, why I gotta wait to get paid? 50 said, "He was sitting there with a million dollars cash in a bag, and he kept telling me he was going to get me money for appearing, but I was like 'No, give me some of that money right there'. He had one million dollars in the bag, it was physically right in front of me, so why should I have to wait to get paid? Just give me that money right there. He wasn't with it, and that's how it all started."
