Getting deeper into the battle Tunechi is making it abundantly clear what his feeling are about his exit strategy: Lil Wayne Wants Out! Sues Birdman and Cash Money for $51 MILLION!!! And it doesn’t stop there…
Lil Wayne Wants Out! Sues Birdman and Cash Money and in swift legal action is not looking to settle just for ending his contract:
“Lil Wayne has made good on his promise to go after Cash Money … because he’s filed a lawsuit asking a judge to end his contract with Birdman’s label. According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Wayne says Birdman and company violated the deal by withholding tens of millions of dollars Cash Money owes him for his long-delayed album, “Tha Carter V.” Wayne claims because Cash Money is refusing to pay, he’s entitled to walk. But Lil Wayne wants more than just a declaration of freedom. He’s suing for $51 MILLION.”
Sources also say in Lil Wayne Wants Out! Sues Birdman and Cash Money he’s vying to be declared by the judge as the copyright owner for all of his, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Young Money recordings (boss moves). Word is if Birdman pays up he’ll release “Tha Carter V,” but it’s definitely a tall order. Does Birdman really have an incentive to pay up, aka are we ever really going to see Tha Carter V???
“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.”
Yikes! Doesn’t sound too promising but Wayne’s obviously no where near backing down!!!
