Lil Wayne Scores 8 Figure Settlement w/ UMG & Birdman

[HARLEM AL]

all the slow brehs in here saying Birdman ain't have to pay anybody that's not true he paying back UMG for clearing his debt to Wayne thru his Nicki and Drake profits

BIRDMAN AIN'T HAVE MONEY TO PAY ANYBODY IS THE REALITY

Nah I get you fam.... the joke is still good...

He deserves it

Drake album already 2x platinum without hitting the streets. This financial dispute will be over soon.
No where in this report does it say Birdman aint eating off his artists (you alluding to him being broke), not even a mention of royalties
+ Birdman always maintained UMG had a play in this too. I also dunno why you would think Bird would outright give a nikka ova 10 million

Basically......

Why do you think UMG settled this out of court? the details are right there. Birdman was always in the wrong the reason he can't give Wayne his money is because he mismanaged it. He already had to show documents in court of his accounting practises. UMG isn't paying his bills to be nice, they are partners and the parent company/distributor.

Drake and Nicki contracts are not the same as Lil Waynes... they always had better paperwork than their alleged boss. Also the reason Wayne couldn't take them with him is his 49% stake in his supposed company. He was never in charge of YM just a figure head boss. UMG settles Birdmans bills and collects their debt from him via Nicki and Drake.

Birdman is broke y'all can keep denying it. His debts have long outweighed his profits. How you think he gonna eat off the same royalties he's paying to UMG? He might eat of the artists he has now that nobody knows but not his big dogs. Also effectively YM is dead but it was always a make belief label

Now Weezy can sign with OVO/Warner. Live out the dream like Puff being managed by Biggie.


Unless Drake puts him in the tent

[Doctor Wily]

Good for him , we know he ain't ever gonna see that other 40 million


But at the very least now he can go into retirement mode doing features here and there.


Damn shame with what happend to that label.

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

them m's count different when Baby & UMG divides the pie

 

[ThaEruditious]

Inb4 endless wack punchless about shyt and eatin p*ssy

 

[stave]

Wayne got out of his deal, but who owns his masters?


Aubrey ain't going nowhere since Birdman will need a new ghostwriter

Birdman gonna have Aubrey getting tatted up and claiming blood soon

YMCMB ain't going nowhere ya heard?

 

[Monoblock]

Album is gonna be dated and just bc a judge rules doesn't mean Birdman can't hold shyt up with appeals.

 

[L&HH]

"Well over 10 million"...the nikka was owed 50 million

He wasn’t owed $50 million. A lot of the money he was suing for was for future profits and grievances. You sue for $50 million knowing that you’ll settle for a fraction of that.

"Well over 10 million"...the nikka was owed 50 million
