Lil Wayne Sues Birdman's Cash Money for $51m

Lil Wayne and  Birdman are going to court. The Young
Money rapper has filed a lawsuit asking
a judge for  release  from Cash Money Records.
According to TMZ, Wayne claims Birdman violated
the terms of their deal by withholding tens of
millions of dollars Cash Money owes him for his long delayed album Tha Carter V .
Since Cash Money is refusing to pay, Wayne says
he’s entitled to cancel the contract. So  Lil Wayne has sued for his freedom and a whopping $51 million.
Wayne wants the judge to give him joint copyright
ownership of all Young Money recordings
including those of Drake, Nicki Minaj, Tyga, and
more. He plans to take his artists with him off
Cash Money.
However, if Birdman pays, Wayne’s camp will
allow Cash Money to release Tha Carter V .
Wayne was supposed to get an $8 million
advance when he started recording in December
2013 and another $2 million when he completed
the album a year later, but so far he’s received
nothing.
This is getting really messy
