Young Jeezy, Polow Da Don & More Unpaid Debts Exposed, "It's Insane"

According to reports, a slew of hip-hop stars have been dodging hefty bills.

According to a Gwinnett County court judgment provided by recording engineer Tony Terrebonne, mega hit producer Polow Da Don owes more than $20,000 in unpaid studio services and attorneys fees. Terrebonne said he has stopped working for Polow because he was owed $50,000 at one point. "It's a lot of hard work, I'll be up for three days straight and I won't get paid for it. It's insane," said Terrebonne who moved in with his parents and sold his car. "You're listening to music that hasn't been paid for," said Josh Butler, recording engineer and owner of 11th Street Studio in Atlanta. Past due invoices provided by 11th Street Studio showed rapper Young Jeezy owed Butler more than $20,000. Invoices and judgments show singer and producer Phalon Alexander --better known as Jazze Pha-- owes more than $135,000 to four studios including Jim Zumpano's Zac Recording. (CBS Atlanta)

While a Polow Da Don rep claimed the matter is being handled privately, some artists have since made payments following CBS Atlanta's investigative report.

After CBS Atlanta began asking about the unpaid bills, some recording engineers received payment. Butler received $20,000 from YJ Entertainment, Young Jeezy's company. Zumpano received about $2,000 from TSG Financial Management on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. TSG represents Jazze Pha. The other producers, singers and managers would not explain why the payments were not made until CBS Atlanta inquired. (CBS Atlanta)
