Cash Jones (born April 7, 1978), known professionally as Wack 100, is an American rapper, music manager, hip hop commentator and record executive. He is the manager of The Game, Blueface and 6ix9ine
Early life and career
[edit]Jones was born on April 7, 1978, in Pacoima, Los Angeles. He attended the University of Houston.[1] He has a wife and two children.[2] As of 2024, he has an estimated net worth of US$5,000,000.[3]
In 2018, Jones and Birdman launched Cash Money West, a division of Cash Money Records for the West Coast of the United States. They were given a budget of $20,000,000 from Universal Music Group—Cash Money's parent company. Saviii 3rd was their first signee.[4] Ronald "Slim" Williams, Birdman's brother, was named vice president of the division.[5]
In 2021, Jones became 6ix9ine's manager,[6] and helped renegotiate his contracts and release new music.[7] After 6ix9ine was assaulted in an LA Fitness bathroom, Jones wished him a speedy recovery. Opposingly, Boosie Badazz started a fundraiser for his attacker.[8] After 6ix9ine went broke, Jones confirmed it, saying he sent him $20 for gas.[9][10][11]
Legal issues
[edit]In 2019, The Game was found guilty of sexually assaulting Priscilla Rainey, a contestant on She's Got Game. Rainey was awarded $7,000,000 in damages, plus the royalties to his album Born 2 Rap. Jones claimed that he owned all the royalties to the album, and that he doesn't owe her anything.[12][13]
In 2021, Ken Lawson sued Jones for assault, claiming he knocked out he and his wife, causing his jaws to be wired.[14]
In 2022, he claimed he had a second, "more graphic" sex tape of Kim Kardashian and Ray J. Kim threatened a lawsuit if the alleged footage was released.[15][16][17]
In June 2024, he offered to pay bail for former Los Angeles-area gangster Duane "Keffe D" Davis, who was convicted for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. This bail attempt was denied by Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny, who stated that she suspected Jones and Davis were attempting to profit from Davis' story.[18] Under Nevada law, it is illegal for convicted killers to profit from their crime.[18]
Personal feuds
[edit]In October 2019, after the death of Nipsey Hussle, Jones defended comments made by The Game towards the late Nipsey.[19] Later, in December, Nipsey's former bodyguard J Roc attacked Jones backstage during a Rolling Loud concert.[20] In 2023, he claimed he possessed a sex tape of Nipsey, another man, and the mother of his child.[21]
On June 15, 2023, Gucci Mane and Lil Baby released the song "Bluffin", where Gucci Mane dissed Jones in the line: "I ain't arguin' on no internet, I'm not Wack 100".[22][23] Jones responded on his Instagram, saying he would release a diss track in 2 days.[24][25]
On October 17, 2023, Lil Mabu and Chrisean Rock released "Mr. Take Ya Bitch", a diss tracked aimed at both Blueface and Jones.[26]
