good for him but he was owed A LOT more and after lawyer fees and being out of the public eye he probably lost more than what he got. his star power is gone and hip-hop has moved on from wayne imo.

C5 is gonna come and go really fast. baby not paying anything still is

Universal probably gonna have to be reimburse lawyer fees as well

Umg was already taking those profits that was the problem. They fronted Birdman 100mill and was taking all profits to pay that back, even Wayne share of young money artist even though Wayne didn’t get that 100 mill

Now they just gave Wayne a adavance for him to be signed straight to universal. Wayne still didn’t get paid.

What happens to YM imprint ....is that still split between Wayne and CM? Or does CM forfeit that?

 

[Dwight Howard]

Hope he drops this version of c5, shyt was sounding hard

I highly doubt Ym was a real label. Which is why Birdman was able to finesse and not pay them.

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

getting 15-20 million now, after fighting for almost 5 yrs, is better than going another 5 yrs just trying to get the whole 50 million back.

Its an imprint of CM... but the way it's sounding like UMG might just be tryna rid themselves of Birdman as well and walk away with everything worth anything.

Edit - Here's the document from the old thread if anyone's interested.

This. It was never incorporated until after the initial lawsuit was filed.

If Wayne didn't record this album in New Orleans or have Mannie Fresh produce the majority of the album, I can care less about hearing The Carter V. I'm glad he's contractually free again, though.

Good for him. Now hopefully he can get clean completely and enjoy life.
