    Local police are seeking to question two unidentified men traveling with rapper Flo Rida, over charges of animal abuse.

     

    Flo Rida was in Lexington, Kentucky on Tuesday and Wednesday (March 25), to promote his upcoming CD R.O.O.T.S.

     

    The trip went bad when a witnesses allegedly saw two men step off of Flo Rida’s and kill a rabbit.

     

    A witness saw the men brutally kill the animal before they re-entered the bus and leave the location.

     

    Now, Lexington Police, Kentucky Police and Animal Control are investigation the incident and simply want to question the occupants of the bus.

     

    Flo Rida is currently one of the most popular rappers in the world.

     

    His single “Right Round” recently surpassed 2 million in sales and is currently #1 on iTunes’ Top 10.

     

    His second single, “Sugar” featuring Wynter, is also #5 on iTunes’ chart this week. R.O.O.T.S. is due in stores on March 31.

    Damn lol when keepin it real goes wrong haha. For real though I know mad country people who kill rabbits to eat them and shit but I guess its cuz they just killed it for malicious fun is why they are mad.

    Hey can anyone tell me how much rappers get off of Itunes and downloaded songs? Like what percentage do they get from it and what do the record companies and Itunes and such get? I mean 2 million off of one song is a lot but what do they pay .99 per download so thats $2mill but then doesnt Itunes get a piece then The record company then Flo Ridas Record company then him so rappers cant make that much right?

    @stevenyayo
    itunes don't normaly take a percentage, but they make they money from labels buying up add space. So when you go to itunes and see those artist on the front page those slots are paid for buy the labels. The money from them ring tones go to the label which in turn goes to the artist. Flo rida dont need to sell a lot of records he killing 'em with single downloads.
    So for the ringtone haters; Flo- made about 15 mil last year off of Get Low, according to Forbes.

    @Travisty4real

    OK I figured they just pay for add space. But it goes to the record companies I know but it doesnt all go to Flo Rida right? I mean Atlantic has to get a cut and then Poe Boy gets a cut too then Flo Rida gets a cut. So how much you think he gets off that 2mil downloads? If he had his own record company he would be making a lot more. I mean if he makes his own record company and just has him as an artist and doesnt have to worry about anyone else and buys his own recording studio to where he doesnt need to pay for studio time and then Atlantic will still help push him and distribute the records and give him promotional team or get your own street team and a good manager he would make a lot more. If I would him I wouldnt even worry about CD sales I would just put money to promote the songs and make good videos and keep selling a shit load of ringtones and downloads.

    --------------------------------

    they get 9 pennies. it was going up 15 cents, not sure if it congress passed it or not. itunes was about to shut down over the increase. remember out of this 9 cents, songwriter and producer(s) must be paid also.

    @tbirdandkoolaid

    That is correct, so they may get a half of cent on a song, and that is if those greedy fucking criminals don't make an "Accounting Error"  

    You know the ones Universal is so famous for.  Hell, who the fuck knows how many downloads.  These criminal bastards can tell you anything.

    You best believe whatever they say you sold, it was triple that number. You mark my words, somebody is going to expose Itunes real soon and prove they stole billions from artist and record companies.  

    Everybody and I mean everybody is a piece of shit in the music industry.  You can not ever trust your own fucking family or friends.  Look what that piece of shit did to Salina, fucking shot her.  

    Man, you have to watch your back.  I feel real bad because it is just a matter of time before any artist goes down.  Yep, Rick Ross and the Hip-Hop task force couldn't get this guy to buy guns like TI, or get killed in a fake beef like Biggie and Pac or get busted for coke like the BMF, or locked up for a rape or domestic, so what the fuck do they do, the feds send in a fucking rabbit.

    Yes, yes, ask Dame Dash, Biggie, Pac, No Limit, BMF, Plies, Lupe, ask them all, they will tell you.  Including TI, ask them, they will tell you that it is just a matter of time before they get all the rich rappers and make them broke and on crack and locked up like DMX.  If you get cake rappin, stop poppin' shit on Youtube about who you going to kill, Like Jim Jones..  Take your fucking money and move out the country.  Run, mother fucker, run.  Because if you don't you WILL BE BROKE and if you pop shit like Pac did in that Hit Em Up video, you WILL BE GONE, they got Pac and his half brother from Outlawz.

    Run, run, run with your money or join the soup line with Suge.  Flo Rider need to get the fuck out while he still got money.  They are going to get him, mark my words. They get all of them. These mother fuckers can't stand to see a rich black man talking shit in records and parting with white girls.  It is just too much for them so they take them down.  Ain't that right Jimmy Iovene.  Took down any brands today bitch boy!  Fuck Jimmy, Fuck Interscope, Fuck Atlantic and Fuck Def Jam and Lyore Cheon!
