Lil Wayne is suing Birdman for $51 million dollars. He refuses to leave Cash Money without his cash money AND his Young Money artists.
It was initially reported that Weezy was suing Baby for the $8 million advance he was owed for The Carter V…but it looks like he’s decided to up the amount.
TMZ reports:
Wayne wants the judge to declare he’s the joint copyright owner of all Young Money recordings … which includes Drake, Nicki Minaj and several others.
Sources connected to Wayne tell TMZ … if Birdman antes up then he can release “Tha Carter V,” but only if Wayne gets paid. Wayne says he was supposed to get an $8 million advance when he began recording in December, 2013 and another 2M when he completed the album a year later, but so far he’s gotten nothing.
The 21-page lawsuit has surfaced, and if you’re up for the read — it breaks down Weezy & Baby’s long history of money issues.
