Curren$y is always flooding the streets with new music but his new venture might eat up a bit more of his time. The rapper took to Instagram this weekend to reveal that he signed a deal to take over a staple burger spot in New Orleans' City Park area.

Spitta is getting into the burger game. The rapper revealed that he purchased Bud's Broiler in New Orleans and is rebranding it into Life Burger.

"The Ink dry is dry so now I can talk about it.... for years me and my loved ones have pulled up to this historic location near City Park to enjoy a tasty burger... recently the place went up for sale.... I was considering purchasing a dawn and a Bentley.... instead I bought a business..... now it’s time to remodel and rebrand," he wrote on Instagram. "#lifeburgerNola coming soon... @mousa504 we gotta bust another move cuz I still want the Bentley and the dawn tho haha."

The original Bud's Broiler was a staple in the area. According to the New Orleans Advocate, the location shut down late last year in the midst of a dispute between Bud's Broiler's parent company and the franchise holder for the location. Ultimately, the City Park location and a second-related franchise that opened in Baton Rouge 2018 were shut down.
