In the early 2000s, Hot Boy Turk—formerly known as Young Turk—stood out as a fan favorite among the Hot Boys. Alongside Lil Wayne, he was one of the youngest members, helping define an era of Cash Money Records’ dominance.
Sudden Removal from the Tour
The unexpected removal of Hot Boy Turk from the Cash Money Millionaires 30th Anniversary Tour has caused a wave of backlash among fans and the hip-hop community. The rapper, who co-founded the Hot Boys, revealed that his dismissal came just days before the release of his highly anticipated album Joseph.
According to Turk, the decision stemmed from a financial dispute. He accused the organizers of offering him an unfair deal and retaliating when he refused to accept it.
Turk Speaks Out on Instagram
Taking to Instagram, Turk alleged that tour promoters branded him as a “security risk” immediately after he turned down reduced compensation.
“The same day I rejected less than what was owed, I got hit with a bogus termination notice,” he wrote. “Instead of admitting they couldn’t pay fairly, they labeled me a threat.”
His wife, who also doubles as his manager, appeared alongside him in a video response. Together, they condemned the “security risk” label as defamatory, vowing not to remain silent. Their united front fueled speculation that deeper conflicts were brewing behind the scenes of the highly promoted reunion tour.
Legal Action in Motion
By Sunday, Turk confirmed that his legal team had filed a cease-and-desist order against figures associated with the tour, including Andrew Ellington and Dope Shows.
“We won’t tolerate slander or false narratives that damage my name or business,” Turk declared. “This will be handled the right way—through the courts.”
This statement confirmed that Hot Boy Turk Plans to Sue Cash Money for Removing Him from 30th Anniversary Tour, ensuring the dispute will be settled legally rather than behind closed doors.
A Reunion Overshadowed
The Cash Money 30th Anniversary Tour was marketed as a celebration of the label’s storied legacy, featuring Birdman and Lil Wayne. Although Wayne missed several dates, fans still anticipated a full Hot Boys reunion. Turk had already performed at multiple shows before being cut, leaving many attendees shocked and disappointed.
Timing with Album Release
The controversy coincided with the release of Joseph, Turk’s latest studio album, which officially dropped on July 27. The project launched alongside the release of a new video for “You Too Movement,” highlighting Turk’s commitment to his music despite the ongoing drama.
Looking Ahead
Though the tour presses on without him, Turk’s absence casts a noticeable shadow over what was supposed to be a historic reunion. For fans, the excitement of the celebration is now mixed with frustration and speculation about unresolved issues within the Cash Money legacy.
