Birdman ends Verzuz battle against No Limit by dissing Turk and calling him out during Cash Money’s closing remarks [VIDEO]
The Cash Money vs. No Limit Verzuz ended in chaos after Birdman turned what was meant to be a historic celebration of New Orleans hip-hop into a heated moment, reigniting old Cash Money tensions
The long-awaited Cash Money vs. No Limit Verzuz was meant to be a celebration of Southern rap royalty. It was a reunion of two dynasties that defined late ’90s and early 2000s hip-hop. Also, both labels are from the same city. But instead of closing on unity, the night ended with tension and a diss that stole the spotlight.
In the closing moments of the battle, Cash Money co-founder Birdman took the mic to reflect on his label’s legacy. Only to turn what began as a victory speech into a jab at his former Hot Boys member Turk. Thus, calling him a “little man” on stage in front of a roaring crowd. The clip is now circulating across YouTube and X. It has racked up over 146,000 views within hours of posting. It’s reignited a decades-long rift between Turk and Birdman while dividing fans who were there to celebrate history, not reopen wounds.
The Clip That Ended the Night
The short clip, uploaded by PayDaeDatRaqRadio on October 26, captures the closing two minutes of the event — filmed live at ComplexCon in Las Vegas. The stage is crowded with both camps, purple lights flooding the room as cameras pan across the performers. Birdman, in his trademark shades and layered jewelry, holds the mic close as he declares, “Cash Money forever.”
At first, it feels like a farewell speech — gratitude to the fans, a nod to legacy. But when Birdman begins listing Cash Money’s founding artists, the tone shifts sharply.
“I met B.G., I met Wayne, I met Juvie, I met Turk,” he says, pausing before adding, “Shout out to Turk… little boy. You ain’t here, but forget you.”
Laughter breaks out on stage, but it’s uneasy. One of the hypemen can be heard muttering, “Don’t go off script, bro,” as Birdman continues, “We gonna meet with that guy when we meet with him. But that’s another movie.” The crowd reacts with a mix of boos, gasps, and cheers.
It was an unprovoked shot that cut deep, especially given Turk’s exclusion from the lineup and his public criticism of Cash Money in recent years. For fans, it was déjà vu — another chapter in Birdman’s long list of feuds with former artists once considered family.
A Verzuz Years in the Making
This Verzuz wasn’t just a performance — it was the long-overdue face-off between two of hip-hop’s most powerful labels, No Limit Records and Cash Money Records. Both built from the streets of New Orleans, both family-run empires that changed rap forever, and both haunted by internal conflict and legal battles.
No Limit, founded by Master P, became the blueprint for independent hustle. It’s a label that turned street culture into a national phenomenon. Therefore, selling over 80 million records in the process. Meanwhile, Birdman and his brother Slim built Cash Money into the ultimate crossover machine. Therefore, inking a $30 million deal with Universal and giving the world Lil Wayne, Juvenile, and the Hot Boys.
The Verzuz battle was streamed live on Apple Music and Instagram. It was meant to bridge that legacy gap. Each camp brought twenty rounds of hits, from “Make ‘Em Say Uhh!” to “Back That Azz Up.” But while No Limit rolled deep with performers like Mia X, Silkk the Shocker, and C-Murder (via tribute), Cash Money’s side felt incomplete.
Lil Wayne didn’t show — he’s currently on tour, but fans speculated his long-standing legal feud with Birdman over unpaid royalties kept him away. Turk, too, was missing, despite his public pleas for inclusion. That void loomed over the performance, and by the time Birdman grabbed the mic, it was impossible to ignore.
Birdman’s Speech: Unity or Uproar?
When Birdman began his speech, it sounded like he wanted to end on a note of respect. “Cash Money and No Limit — this is the city, this is the culture,” he said. “Where you at, P?”
Master P stepped forward, briefly embracing Birdman. But the peace offering didn’t last. Moments later came the infamous Turk jab, souring what could have been a historic handshake moment for New Orleans hip-hop.
The exchange highlighted a contrast that’s defined both men’s careers. While Birdman projected bravado and defiance, Master P responded with composure, taking the mic after Birdman’s rant to restore balance:
“We got No Limit and Cash Money on the stage together — the city won tonight. Rest in peace to Soulja Slim, C-Murder, Magic, Scott Doug. Uptown forever.”
The crowd roared in approval, signaling that P’s message of peace resonated louder than Birdman’s insult.
Turk Fires Back Online
Hours later, Turk addressed the moment on Instagram Live, visibly irritated but calm. “I’ma keep it real — No Limit tore they thing up without Wayne. Cash Money lost ‘cause they needed Turk,” he said. “They mad ‘cause I speak the truth. You can’t silence what’s real.”
Turk also referenced his long-standing tension with Birdman, citing unpaid royalties and being excluded from Cash Money’s 30th anniversary tour earlier this year. He’s since filed a lawsuit against tour promoters, claiming breach of contract after he was allegedly dropped without notice.
Fans flooded Turk’s comments with support, many calling Birdman “bitter” for refusing to move on. As one user wrote on X:
“Birdman’s 56 still acting like it’s 2001. He got more beef than hits left.”
No Limit Declared the Real Winner
Despite Cash Money’s dominance in record sales, most online polls and social media debates named No Limit the clear winner of the Verzuz. Fans praised their tight setlist, coordinated outfits, and sense of unity — especially Mia X, who’s being hailed as the event’s MVP.
“She carried the whole stage,” one fan posted. “The crowd was alive every time she touched the mic. That’s real OG energy.”
In contrast, Cash Money’s set drew criticism for disorganization. Without Wayne or Turk, and with Birdman focusing more on speeches than performances, many said the label’s magic felt fractured. B.G. and Juvenile held their own, but their chemistry couldn’t mask what was missing.
Even celebrity viewers weighed in: LeBron James tweeted, “Mia X got it. P still the boss,” while Rick Ross joked, “Birdman talking more than he performing. Classic.”
Decades of Tension Resurface
Birdman and Turk’s fallout traces back over 20 years. Turk, who joined Cash Money as a teenager and formed one-fourth of the Hot Boys alongside Lil Wayne, Juvenile, and B.G., left the label after serving nearly a decade in prison. He’s long accused Birdman of withholding royalties and ignoring him after his release, while Birdman has publicly dismissed Turk’s claims as “lies for clicks.”
The diss at Verzuz wasn’t just a slip — it was an eruption of unresolved resentment that’s been simmering since Turk’s 2001 departure. And for fans, it’s confirmation that despite Cash Money’s legacy, unity within the camp remains fractured.
A Night That Should’ve Been History
For hip-hop fans, the Cash Money vs. No Limit Verzuz was supposed to be about legacy, not grudges — a night to honor two labels that defined an era and built the foundation for today’s Southern dominance. But in classic Birdman fashion, ego won the mic.
While Master P used the platform to unify and uplift, Birdman used it to remind the world of his grudges. And for a generation raised on both “Make ’Em Say Uhh” and “Bling Bling,” that difference said everything about how these two moguls built their empires — one with vision, the other with volatility.
