Pimp C has been one of Hip-Hop's most celebrated fallen stars since his untimely death in 2007 at the age of 33. But Pimp (born Chad Butler) has also become heavily merchandized since his passing, and his former UGK bandmate Bun B is taking exception to how rampant that has become.
“And I know a lot of people feel like they honor him with T-shirts and hats and candles and air freshers and all of that, but you’re really just trying to bleed and leech off his legacy,” Bun said in an interview with Smooth Vega. “If you’re not giving anything to his family, you’re trying to leech off his legacy and if the man was alive, he’d pull up on you and you know that shit."
