Image via Complex Original Trinidad Jame$ is, by his own admission, broke. A year and a half after signing to Def Jam in December 2012 and working since then on his debut album and a couple mixtape projects, Jame$s tweeted to his 350K+ followers: "I got dropped by the Label. My Album is now free. If u hear ur beat or verse on it. I hope u want dap cuz i got no money." Jame$ attributes the split to creative differences, but from New York's perspective, Jame$' penniless fate reads rather like karma.
