Birdman Cashin’ in on Oil

February 15th, 2010 | By

Birdman, Bryan Williams and his brother Slim, Ronald Williams, are best known as being the fathers of Cash Money Records. Back in the early 1990s, the Williams brothers started the record label out of their New Orleans projects and since then they have been taking the music industry by storm. Altogether, the Hot Boys have gone multiplatinum and gold, selling over 45 million albums. Some of the hip hop artists associated with the record label has included Lil Wayne, BG, Juvenile and Baby, aka Birdman. With such great success in the music industry, it only makes since for Birdman to move on to bigger things. Well, word has it that he and his brother founded a new exploration and development oil company called Bronald Oil & Gas LLC.

The oil venture company has properties in Louisiana, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma and South America. Bronald Oil & Gas has yet to gain any investors or staff, since it is still in its beginning stages. Although, they do hope to partner up with other developers to “jointly exploit significant additional assets by leveraging Bronald’s infrastructure.” It seems that Birdman is so into his oil company that he got a tattoo of an oil well on his head.

“I want to make this a full-fledged entertainment and music company for all genres of music, from pop and rock to country and gospel,” says Slim. “I also want to make the film company just as big, if not bigger, than the record label. I want it all — music, publishing, film, videogames, DVD.” Hopefully the oil investment won’t be a big regret like with his prior investment in R. Kelly.
