Birdman never followed through with his reported $50 million lawsuit against Jay Z’s TIDAL over Lil Wayne’s Free Weezy Album, TIDAL says to Rolling Stone.
“No Cash Money lawsuit was ever served and therefore it was dismissed before it was ever started,” the TIDAL rep says.
(The original post in this thread was published July 16, 2015. It is as follows.)
Birdman and Cash Money Records are suing Jay Z and TIDAL, according to TMZ.
The record label is seeking $50 million from TIDAL for streaming Lil Wayne’s Free Weezy Album.
The lawsuit says TIDAL’s release of the music was “a desperate and illegal attempt to save their struggling streaming service.”
The streaming service responds to the claims by saying that Lil Wayne gave it the rights to the music in exchange for an ownership stake in the company.
Cash Money counters by quoting its contract with Lil Wayne, saying he can not license his music to other parties.
Lil Wayne signed with TIDAL last month.

Love him or hate him Birdman is a straight modern-day gangster.
no he is just a fuckboy
Nah… Nothin gangster about fucking over people that made him millions.. More like modern day Con Artist
And That’s why he’s being indicted right now?…Probably cause messed with a real OG J. Prince! Suge, Diddy & now Baby!
actually that sounds gangster to me now that you put it like that
Birdman is lame. His whole movement is lame.
I was wondering about the situation with Tidal because Wayne is still technically under contract with Cash Money correct??
Go fuck yourself Birdman
I respect the whole G movement. I think King Birdman is protecting his stock and worth. I feel that anyone who doesn’t follow the rules of game has to pay price. He is making a excellent legal move. I love Kings of 5 and rep my fam to 7of40 with all due respect.
cant fade the blow.

Yall talking so much about Birdman..he is a business man doing the right thing is different from being a nice man…Bird is doing the right thing people….Lil Wayne became hot 6th album how many record label in the whole entire world of labels gives you a Rope that long..check 50, Nas and others so he should be grateful Birdman made him a Star dissing like a shit boy….people love to see things fall.
Man!! U are 1000% percent right and u hav a sharp azz memory.
Wayne albums didnt really pop til a few albums later
all these groupie azz people tryin to shit on Birdman now that shits rocky.
I cant stand them type a folks ma self
That is totally false bro… lil Wayne 1st cd went platinum 2nd 3rd & 4th went gold 5th platinum and the rest is history. You know how many rappers you think are hot that have never went gold??… Asap rocky big Sean wale and many many more… you must be a kid or something… Wayne been on fire and has never had a album flop… ever!!
@stuckfresh you funny am not kid and know what am saying those other albums you talking about went platinum after Carter 3 success….Grammy awards came through aswell if you really know Rap music then you will know what am saying KID you all wanna see greatness go down…Cash Money is the only black own record label founded since in the 90s and still functioning real good, I know you all can’t wait to see it go down…(haters of a kind).
Looks like TurdMan has a room full of key board gangsta’s. This clown has a shady history dated way back. Its easy to claim a $100 million dollars when you dont pay nobody. And the list of unpaid parties is extensive. But I will say that it’s funny seeing TurdMan suing someone. I mean he’s always been the one to get sued. If there is anything that I’d personally wish to come out of all this is that we never have to hear another TurdMan verse again. And one last note, anybody who gives any credit to Turdman being an official Blood is off they fucking rocker. Dude was walked in in his early 30’s and has never put in any work aside from a little bankrolling here and there. FUCK TURDMAN, YOU DONE!!!!!!!! Oh and do yall not think Hov’s legal team is 100????
Birdman’s got a case. Wayne is under contract. Of course his career will be over.
Yeah, Birdman’s career is over. He has no case since he’s already suing other people. He’s losing money and wasting time.
For your information hater, if cash money shuts down and birdman goes broke because of idiots like wayne, hiphop is over for good.
Hip-hop was doing well before Cash Money and it will continue to thrive after Birdman and Cash Money’s inevitable demise.
Birdman broke the contract by not releasing Waynes album!
Birdman wasn’t going to put out a crap album to hurt cash money and wayne. And hiphop started with cash money. Pop rap began before cash money and if cash money goes away, that will be the end of true hiphop in the mainstream to be replaced with pop rap.
Hip hop did not start with cash money…. Smh
Birdman doesn’t have a case because artist are able to make music for promotional use and that is what Wayne did just like countless other artist who make mistakes and release then on Spotify. Birdman needs to worry about the pending investigation that he is linked with because taking Jay to court will get him no where
Birdman is scared lil wayne will own his ass. He is the one making cash their money. Birdman is just a wannabe suge.
Dan, you really are dumb. Birdman is always putting out crap albums. Hip-hop started before Cash Money, what you call pop rap is not pop rap, but hip-hop. Cash Money IS pop rap and if they go away, hip-hop will continue. Hop off the dick.
like how Hov got dat no worries face… classic
Fuck TIDAL, Fuck Jay-Z, Kanye, J. Cole & Lil’ Wayne! Stunna and Thugga all da way! RICH GANG ALL DAY!
Any IDIOT belivin’ the LIES & THIEVERY of TURDMAN & YOUNG HOMO is sayin’ DESERVES the Garbage Bullsh*t rap we got today! DUMB MONEY has systematically STOLEN FROM & disrespected the artists & producers that gave them their revenues! Go tongue kiss these IDIOTS & get F*CKED! You deserve it, believin’ in the CRIMINALS that are about to be OVER & in Prison for years!
birdman taking on two of the biggest overrated snakes in the industry. praise him.
This nigga really got the birdflu,,not to mention nigga bout to get his wings clipped for thinking he so fly plottin on ma nigga wanyes life…
Funny thing is people really beleive birdman owes lil wayne, if really owed wayne, by the way wayne been acting lately he woulda moved forward with his law suit. Birdman is very wise, patient and intelligent, he was just waiting for wayne to make that silly move and kick his ass hard!
oh birdman why are you doing this
Screw Lil Wayne and Birdman. They’re both subpar anyway.
Lil’ Wayne has been garbage for a long time. During his peak he wrote little of his material. He has no creative vision. Birdman was fedup with the garbage he was releasing, the rock garbage, the I am a Human Being garbage. He was also fedup with his ego, given the amount of garbage he was releasing. Birdman supports people who are creative, who have a clear marketable vision or who are just plain marketable regardless of their talent. Nicki and Drake have visions. Take Care was a cohesive work, as was If You Are reading this. Paris Hilton taps into the much needed pop EDM market, which Lil’ Jon has broken into. Young Thug is taping into marketable areas in mainstream hip-hop, the Rich Gang album and Barter 6 were well received critically. When’s the last time Lil’Wayne was well recieved critically? Birdman is a visionary, Wayne is utter garbage. His current vision is piggybacking on the success of Coco.
You must be like 10 years old
You must be a delusional idiot.
I guess your one of birdman cronies. Birdman needs to grow up and accept Lil Wayne has moved on instead of seeking revenge.
Ops! this shid is realy
Jay Z needs to put this m.f. in his place.
Rihana count ya d**$$ it really cool DIVA
Both made a mistake it a long prob dugs
