Rich claims he woke up with phone full of contacts
Rich The Kid shares a baffling story about how he somehow found himself in ownership of a phone that had everybody’s contacts. In an interview with Complex, the Rich Forever rapper said after the end of his deal with Quality Control, he used the contacts on the phone to prey for a new record deal. He reached out to Interscope’s Manny Smith who invited him over.
“When I was leaving QC, I had to do a buyout situation and I was really fucked up. I didn’t have any money, but I had the magic contacts, and I went to every single record label. I had every label, every exec’s [number], everybody,” Rich recalled. “So I called every label. The only person that really answered was Manny Smith from Interscope, and he told me to pull up like, ‘Yo, come play the music, let me hear.’ And that’s how I got my deal, through the magic contact list.”
