Tyga has reportedly filed a new lawsuit aimed at Cash Money and Young Money Records. According to TMZ, the 28-year-old rapper is seeking at least $1 million in unpaid royalties.
In the suit, Tyga claims he made a deal in 2009 that he’d produce two albums for Young Money — Careless World and Hotel California. But, he says Wayne shorted him a “significant sum,” even after both albums charted in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200.

Tyga frequently finds himself on the other end of the lawsuit. He’s been taken to court multiple times over the years. Last September, he was forced to hand over $1.5 million to his former management company. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
