Juvenile Addresses B.G.'s Sentence

Rapper Juvenile shared his thoughts on B.G.'s 14-year prison sentence. He said that he is very disappointed in the news and offered his sympathy to his old bandmate's family.

“I don’t feel good about it. It’s one of those situations where you get sick in your stomach,” Juvenile told AllHipHop. “I wish nothing but good things for him and his family, his kids, because you don’t want to see nobody go get locked up that long and be away from their family."

“I try to tell all the youngsters out there man, if you want to be gangster and go out there and thug-out and go out there and do certain things, just know there’s consequences,” Juvenile added. “It was a situation where it shouldn’t have happened; I wish it would have never happened. I wish he never would have got pulled over or whatever, but it happened. I just wish and am hoping that all you other cats out there take heed to that and don’t make the same mistake.”

Juvenile Explains Leaving Cash Money

Rapper Juvenile opened up about his departure from the label he helped put on the map, Cash Money Records, ten years ago and explained a little of the backstory behind his ongoing custody battle in a recent interview with Power 105. Juvie says he and Cash Money had to part ways due to 'cash money.'

I wanted to stay," Juve said in an interview "You never wanna leave a winning team. That's like [Michael] Jordan leaving the Bulls. I just felt like I wanted to be compensated for my work, I just wanted to get paid for it. ... Once the success came, things started switching up and I was paying attention."

"[Child custody battle?] if you want to know what the situation is, I want custody of my son," he said of his current domestic issues. "That's all that is."

Juvenile Explains Paternity Test Demand

Juvenile is demanding a paternity test to determine he's the biological father of the 13-year old son of a women with whom he's currently embroiled in a child support battle; but the rapper says he isn't doing this to deny the boy. He says he only wants the test to obtain custody of his son.

"My son acts and looks just like me," Juvenile told TMZ. "I am doing this for procedural reasons to get custody."

Juvenile Demanding Paternity Test

Rapper Juvenile is still in the middle of a heated child support dispute with the woman who says he's the father of her 13-year old son. Juvie was facing an arrest warrant for failing to pay child support back in February, and he recently discovered that the boy may not be his own. Now, he is demanding a paternity test.

He filed court docs in Louisiana claiming that he never signed the boy's birth certificate.

Juvenile says that the woman was involve sexually with "at least one other man" at the time and that he was "fraudulently induced" into child support agreements. He is demanding that he be repaid all money he's spent for the boy if it is discovered that he is not the father.

Juvenile Discusses Latest Mixtape

Juvenile dropped his "Mardi Gras" mixtape yesterday (February 21) in celebration of "Fat Tuesday," and the New Orleans native is prepping his tenth studio album, ReJuvenationfor release later in the year. In an interview with AllHipHop, Juvie said he's not preoccupied with how long he's been in the game or the timing of his release or 'comebacks.'

“I don’t really think of that. I never once thought of, like, what time, when is a good time, what other rappers is doing,” said Juvenile. “I don’t think of that. I just make music, and one day I might decide I want to drop a new album, and I do so."

“I never think about what’s going on in the state of Hip-Hop,” Juvenile added.

“It’s street-orientated, Southern gumbo, funk, bangin’, booty-shakin’ and rompin’, thompin’, bumpin…” Juvenile said about his new mixtape.

Juvenile Dismisses Hot Boy Reunion

Juvenile is killing any speculation that a Hot Boys reunion will happen anytime soon. While the New Orleans rap veteran has no ill will towards his former Cash Money family, he says that when he talks to Bryan "Birdman" Williams, they never discuss reuniting the famed group from the late 90s/early 2000s.

So fans shouldn't hold their breath.

"I would love to do a Hot Boys reunion record. I talk to Baby here and there but it never comes up in the conversation," Juvie says. "It's more like, 'How you doing? Is everything okay with you?' We never talk about that. It bothers me like it bothers everybody else. I would love to get a record out there for all the people that never knew anything about the Hot Boys; so they could hear how we sound. [But] It's out of my control."

Juvenile Praises Drake

Rapper Juvenile had nothing but praise for Drake's recent re-imagining of his 1998 hit "Back That Azz Up." Drake turned the former Dirty South club anthem into an R&B-ified slow burner on his album Take Care, which is due to be officially released November 15.

Juvie said he appreciated the tribute.

"I'm kind of flattered that it was Drake and that it's an R&B song," he said. "I never pictured it to be used that way but he did a great job with it, man. ... We started going through the clearance process and stuff like that -- and when I heard it I was impressed because I really thought that 'Back That Azz Up' was a hard song to remake. The fact that he took it somewhere else, I think it was big. I like that."
