sources say Birdman is angry on 2 fronts … that Wayne is trying to bail on a binding contract and even more personal, he’s putting their relationship on blast.
Wayne’s song, “I’m Sorry for the Wait,” is especially galling to Birdman because he feels the man he calls “son” is treating him like some random producer.
As we reported, lawyers and others for Wayne and Birdman are in talks, but Wayne has threatened a lawsuit if his album isn’t released.
I know, Lil Wayne is still signed under his original contract. The deal has proved to be far more lucrative than what he signed for. This will end ugly, I’d stay out of Vegas if I were him.
Shon Wilson plus wayne has young money signed through cash money so that’s real messy and expensive for a another label to buy him out. He has drake and Nikki so it can get real expensive. I see wayne getting out and going to universal as a solo artist but if they pay Baby to end his contract he will still get points off albums in the future just like Eazy E did with dr. Dre and then where will his young money label go? This is all a big mess
Wow
Well wayne has this album and a greatest hits album and his contract should be up. Maybe Baby is holding him plus how much can wayne be worth now? His last two albums went platinum first week and sold about 3 million each. I think wayne is good for a total of 3 million more sales for cash money which is about 15-20 million for baby
Yep
Maybe Wayne not selling like he used to. You know everybody has a moment on top, then it’s gone. No one escapes that reality. I don’t care how good you are.
Money is the motivation and demise. Killed the artform.
Lol! Wow. So there’s another hall of fame rap group that allowed money to ruin the regime, smh.
Absolutely Arthur L Cummings Jr. He’s a huge bargaining chip.
That seems pretty low of Birdman. So, if I understand correctly, Cash Money Records is making more money using Wayne as leverage than releasing his music?
Oh, ok. Wow
Arthur L Cummings Jr., B.I.G./Diddy, PAC/Suge. These guys represent dollars to them whether they have an album in stores or no. When you run a label and you’re negotiating distribution deals, having a top act gives you leverage. When Cash Money shipped their 1st deal they settled for $30 million and $100 million for the re-up. Lil Wayne signed his 1st and only deal when he was 15-16yrs old. So now the dollars make little sense. I understand but the mix tape was garbage. Lil Wayne also brings Drake, Nicki Minaj and all of Young Money. It’s more involved than personal relationships. Wayne just realized how much he’s been jerked.
Somebody help me out…(don’t follow hip hop anymore) from what I do know, these guys have been together since, like, forever right? So why won’t Birdman release Lil Wayne’s project? Is it garbage? Does Birdman think Lil Wayne is played out? Thought those guys would never have beef, lol! Shon Wilson help me out bro, what’s going on with those dudes?
Great point bro
Thanks and you are right about Hendrix
Wayne Dnt want to do music no more… Jail was good for Wayne bc he sat back n saw how Nicki Drake n Tyga did dey thing.. Birdman kno that Wayne is is natural born leader n the other artist listen to him… so if he goes dey going to.. And Birdman would have to rebuild …
He known for years if Wayne left cash money was thru.
You have a point here!!!
This is what happens when u give people that never had anything…..EVERYTHING!
You had it right when you said music BUSINESS. The second it became about money…. everything went to hell. You think Hendrix did it for the money?????
People forget that this is a business and relationships grow and fold when people allow themselves to forget that.
It’s not always glitz and glamour. Their is a price that has to be paid.
You may have money and fame but did you sell something that’s not yours.
Preserving Lives I think it’s a battle over Power
I think its beyond the music when it comes to these two. The relationship they built over the time in the industry and before plays a factor. I think Weezy just got to the point where he woke up behind the delay. Shortly after realized he was being screwed all around the board. A lot of that I think has to do with just not being solid with your Team. Why because this has been going on in that camp since the Hot Boyz fall out. It will all play out at the end of the day. Besides that if Baby owe up PAY Up the hell with feelings at the end of the day its a business & it don’t run of friendship. You can’t make the two coincide. Because they don’t! Friends f you and so do family!
Lol yes that’s what i took from it oh he ready
Going out like Tony! He must be ready for war Michelle Daniel lol
Uh oh
Yes he said something like if they coming for him he going out like Tony.. post what you find keep us updated
I’m checking it out now. This is like his diary and I will listen and see what he put out there
Smh indeed this is going to get real ugly.. i was reading some of the lyrics off his mix tape.
Michelle Daniel the struggle with Power is real
Well I think both guys have plenty of $$. O_O I think this is a power struggle and Wayne so want to wait 4 yrs to drop an album and lose that buzz he has
Spiritual Intervention
Linda Williams I can’t believe after all these years that they can’t sit and talk and work it out
It has to be some deep rooted issues with them
Money root to all evil
This is crazy that they can’t sit down and talk or call each other on the phone
