Lil Wayne Scores 8 Figure Settlement w/ UMG & Birdman
- Thread starter LevelUp
- Start date
Birdman sat back and let residual scraps pile up to give Wayne, and he's happy to simply accept anything.......i mean it's cool and everything, but i'd be pissed that i didn't get everything i'm owed.

So is Birdman officially on that Suge Knight decline when Dre, Pac and Snoop was no more on deathrow?

Now Weezy can sign with OVO/Warner. Live out the dream like Puff being managed by Biggie.
Unless Drake puts him in the tent

nah
more like Suge when just Dre left
Pac & Snoop were still Cash cows
matter fact, all jokes aside, Birdman actually got the talent of discovering and molding artists. Suge was moreso a body guard turned CEO. With Jacquees and Nicki, Birdman might be A OK.
He took an L on Drake not keeping his artists on Cash Money tho.

Lil Wayne has emerged victorious in his ongoing legal battle with Birdman, Cash Money Records, and Universal Music Group and we’re told he walked away with a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE settlement.
Oh, and get ready for “Tha Carter V.”
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Wayne’s attorney, Howard King, filed a notice with the court on May 23 that all sides are ready to dismiss the lawsuit.
Our sources say Universal wrote a big check to settle the suit and none of the money came from Birdman. As for the amount, we’re told it is “well over $10 million.”
We are told that Universal was comfortable with the massive payment because they believe they will recoup the profits from Drake and Nicki Minaj going forward — a major part of what Wayne was suing over.
As part of the arrangement, Lil Wayne is now officially done with Cash Money and the infamous “Tha Carter V” album will now be put out by Universal.
Weezy originally sued Birdman’s label, Cash Money Records, to have his record deal voided. He accused the label of owing him tens of millions of dollars, including an $8 million advance for “Tha Carter V,” plus $2 million once the album was finished.
As The Blast first reported, even though Lil Wayne and Birdman were seen hanging out together a few times back in March, the two were still “very hostile” towards each other and there is “no relationship” between them.

Apparently "well over 10 million" i snot an accurate portrayal of the amount they settled for.
