John-Michael Hakeem Gibson (born August 15, 1990), better known by his stage name Cash Out (stylized Ca$h Out), is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He signed with Epic Records to release his semi-eponymous 2011 debut single, "Cashin' Out". The song peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). After parting ways with the label, his 2014 single "She Twerkin" narrowly entered the chart and led his debut studio album Let's Get It (2014), which in turn moderately entered the Billboard 200.

Career

In 2009, he was acquitted from a gun charge in Clayton County, Georgia: he felt he had been given a second chance in life, so he turned his attentions towards advancing his career as a rapper. [1] He initially signed to the independent record label Bases Loaded [1] and released the single "Cashin' Out", which later appeared on his debut mixtape, titled It's My Time. [1] After Epic Records label head L.A. Reid heard "Cashin' Out", he requested a meeting with Gibson to ask him to sign to the label: Gibson performed a song titled "Smilin' In My Face" during the interview, which convinced Reid to sign him to Epic. [1]

Following its re-release through Epic Records in March 2012, [2] [3] "Cashin' Out" achieved significant commercial success in the United States, peaking at number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100, also reaching the runner-up spot on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and topping the Hot Rap Songs chart. [4] [5] [6] The song's success has inspired many freestyles and remixes by other rappers, including Ludacris, Krayzie Bone [7] Da Brat, [8] Bow Wow, [9] Roscoe Dash, [10] Young Jeezy, Akon, Chief Keef, Fabolous and Yo Gotti, the latter four of whom appear on the song's official remix. [11] A follow-up single, "Big Booty", was released to digital retailers on July 31, 2012. [12] In May 2013, his new single "Another Country" was released with Future on the track. [13]

2014-present: Signing with eOne Music & Let's Get It

In 2014, Cash Out signed a deal with E1 Music and released the single "She Twerkin" in February 2014. [14] It debuted on the Hot 100 at the last spot, making it his second chart entry. Cash Out's debut album Let's Get It (formerly titled Patience) was released on August 26, 2014.

In 2019, he made an appearance as himself in the film Uncut Gems starring Adam Sandler and Lakeith Stanfield.

In June 2023, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has filed charges against Cash Out, along with five other individuals, in a 41-count indictment. The charges include serious allegations such as rape, aggravated sodomy, human trafficking, and holding victims at gunpoint. With being Indicted on 13 counts of rape and sex trafficking he could face a sentence of 25 years to life in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors claim that Cash Out used his celebrity status and social media presence to entice women. The crimes allegedly took place in a hotel room near Fulton Industrial Boulevard and a residence in Carroll Heights, a neighborhood in the city. [15]
