All good things must come to an end.
This year, that “thing” is Cash Money as the world knows it, rocked by moves made by its former leading man Lil Wayne in response to moves allegedly made by label boss Birdman.
Why the label’s pockets are set to take a hit if Wayne has his way?
Legal drama below…
Birdman and Lil Wayne have officially declared war … settlement talks have broken down and Wayne will now sue his mentor, claiming among other things Birdman owes him $8 million.
As TMZ reported … the 2 titans tried coming to terms this week but it wasn’t meant to be. Now Wayne will ask a judge to declare him free of Cash Money and Birdman’s control. Wayne says Birdman has violated their contract by withholding the release of his new album.
As for the $8 MIL claim … Wayne says Birdman owed the money for his latest album — it was supposed to be an advance.
Birdman has held firm … he will release the album “in due time,” but clearly that’s not good enough for Wayne.
In the meantime, Wayne will record new material away from the Cash Money camp, and is yet to announce what his inevitable departure will mean for his artists Drake and Nicki Minaj, both signed to his hit-making rap crew Young Money.
