Lil Wayne vs Birdman Update: Drake, Tyga and Nicki Pick Sides in Messy Legal Battle
The legal battle continues between Lil Wayne/Young Money and Birdman/Cash Money, with artists Drake, Nicki and Tyga joining in the feud too. As per latest claims, Lil Wayne states that Drake, Nicki and Tyaga from Young Money have claimed that they too have been underpaid by Cash Money.
Lil Wayne is battling Cash Money and its co-founder Bryan 'Birdman' Williams in a $51 million law suit, reports International Business Times. Cash Money is the parent company of Young Money, and Young Money is run by Lil Wayne. Young Money's troop of artists include Drake, Nicki Minjai and Tyga. According to TMZ, Young Money is fighting the case and suing the label, as they believe they are entitled to a large stake in a $100 million advance that was paid out to Cash Money by Universal.
But according to Cash Money's claims it has been reported by TMZ that Cash Money claims to have given Young Money $20 million in advances in the year 2012. Over and beyond that, apparently another $12 million was given to Lil Wayne for his solo album and a whopping $70 million towards royalties, advances, marketing costs, recording costs and such for Young Money artists.
What's interesting and possibly a new turn of events is that, now Birdman and Cash Money are lashing out at Lil Wayne. According to International Business Times, Birdman claims that while Lil Wayne was expected to deliver 21 albums from his troop of Young Money artists, only 13 albums have been done so far. Now what does Lil Wayne have to say to that?
