While fans and spectators may be happy with the release of Lil Wayne’s Sorry For The Wait 2, one individual not so happy is Birdman. The Cash Money Records CEO has reportedly expressed his disapproval for the mixtape’s opening track, a remix of O.T. Genasis’ “CoCo.”
According to TMZ, Birdman is annoyed because of the choice words Lil Wayne raps on the cut regarding his current label situation with Cash Money.
“Our sources say Birdman is angry on 2 fronts … that Wayne is trying to bail on a binding contract and even more personal, he’s putting their relationship on blast,” TMZ says.
“The mogul won’t budge and will only release the album on his terms,” the article adds. “And he will fight Wayne if he sues to get out of his contract.”
The report also states that Birdman “will not voluntarily release the rapper from Cash Money.”
The song houses various references to the public rift between Lil Wayne and Cash Money Records, a rift that stemmed from a series of tweets sent by the former in early December of last year.
“Who kept this shit together? Nigga, me, that’s who,” Lil Wayne raps on the record’s opening bars. “Who was there when niggas left? Nigga, me, that’s who / Cash Money is an army, I’m a one man army / And if them niggas comin’ for me, I’m goin’ out like Tony.”
For additional Birdman coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
these dudes need to kiss and make up
everyone keeps talking about the “coco” remix, but I think the “you guessed it” remix was more telling.
Of course Birdman is mad. As a father myself, if my son was talking crap about me, I would be very hurt and sad as well. Wayne wouldn’t be eating well if it wasn’t for birdman. Birdman only wanted the best for wayne yet wayne can’t see that.
You do know that Bridman is not this niggas real father right? #RIPRAbbit
You do realize he’s not Wayne’s real father, right? Dwayne Michael Carter Sr. is Wayne’s father.
Birdman is Wayne’s stepfather or at least his mentor. Of course birdman has every right to be mad. I would be too if my son acted like that after I gave him everything he needed.
It’s not like they’re actual farther and son come on and to tell the truth birdman wouldn’t be shit without wayne not the other way around yea sure he put wayne on bur wayne blew his ass up
Either way though, Birdman helped wayne get stardom and also gave him personal advice. This is like my son talking crap about me after I have done everything for him.
teethboy is using another new name, this time, Michael. You git it backwards since it was Birdman who betrayed Wayne. Birdman wouldn’t be shit without him and was the main reason he was rich.
Birdman is screwed without Wayne, Nicki and Drake. lol I’m really curious how this will play out.
Drake and Nicki arent going anywhere and you are forget to others on cash money.
Wayne still claims young money and doesn’t claim cash money, so I’m guessing that mean’s he trying to take young money and his artists.
That aint gonna happen.
Yes, it will. Drake and Nicki are YM artists and they go wherever Wayne goes. What others at Cash Money? None of them are as popular or successful as Wayne.
Rabbit wasn’t his real father.
I’m surprised DX didn’t write about Young Thug’s IG post the other day. First Wayne’s his idol now he’s taking sides dissing him.
If your friend treated your other friend like crap, of course you would be mad too.
That didn’t happen, though.
Yes it happened. One friend got all bitchy and decided to make shit up.
^ No, it didn’t happen. A label screwed an artist over and that artist wants out.
laughing stock rap now is straight GARBAGE!
People forget that Drake and Nicki are Wayne artist they are young money artist not cash money artist. I’m ready to see how this will play wtf kinda contract he got Wayne on a lifetime contract Lol he really refusing to let him go because once he leaves it’s over for cash money don’t nobody wanna hear young thug garbage ass
Drake and Nici are also signed to cash money first and if young money leaves, they stay at cash money. Cash money will do fine while wayne’s career will be over.
birdman owns them all, hes owns young money too stupid.
If Young Money leaves, Drake and Nicki goes with them since they’re signed to YM. You got it backwards since it’s Cash Money who’s about to be over.
Sounds like Wayne and Birdman need to kiss again and make up……
I’m frustrated any time I hear a Lil Wayne or Cash Money song
wayne is gonna leave. thing is i think if he does and tries to take ym with him, hes gonna have to give birdman a percentage of whatever they make on their projects or some shit. but yea cmb will be done once he leaves simply because birdman did not establish all those other acts on the label and banked it all on wayne. so thats his fuck up tbh.
i think what happened is Birdamn cheated on Wayne with young thugga Wayne found out and now wants to devorce birdman and take as much as he can he wants his half which is Young Money drizzy and Nicki
That actually makes sense.
Bitch who the fuck you are? You think are smart bitch tryna been funny Bitch ass? Wayne treated that Ugly ass nigga as a father I mean everything. Dont you knw that scarvengers wait until you die wen they wanna eat you? To remind bitch wayne was the one who bought a Car for tht motherfuckr on its birthday…So Eat a dick bitch ass nigga…Here me?
If Young Money leaves, Drake and Nicki goes with them since they’re signed to YM. You got it backwards since it’s Cash Money who’s about to be over.” (Wanting them to leave isn’t going to make it happen bitch.)
They will leave when Wayne does.
teethboy is using another new name, this time, Michael. You git it backwards since it was Birdman who betrayed Wayne. Birdman wouldn’t be shit without him and was the main reason he was rich.” Was Wayne the one that signed birdman? No, it was the other way around. Shut the fuck up and do research before making up shit.
Wayne made Birdman a lot of money. It’s ironic you tell me to shut up and do research when you don’t do that, instead, you make up shit.
Wasn’t teethboy a huge fan of wayne just a month ago? He’s the real betrayer here.
This shit is mad suspect.. if you consider how wayne and birdman used to rap about having threesomes together, 2 dicks 1 chick type shit, on their old cash money songs.. then there’s the whole kissing each other on the mouth thing, wayne taking birdmans name aka “birdman jr.” and now airing out a private issues.. these dudes act like they’re lovers for real..
It’s clearly a fact until now that CV will flop. Let’s be honest, the day “believe me” was released was, when the hype was at its peak. A great record, only partially because of drake’s delivery – Wayne definitely bested him on that one.
But lets stay real: that was 8 months ago now. That’s a FREAKING long time ago. And in addition, the single wasn’t as successful as most people expected a Wayne record to be – but it eventually went gold though.
But what has happened after believe me? Wayne has released a song called “D’usse” – paying homage to Jay-Z’s cognac – which was really really dope as well. Productionwise, it was a masterpiece – big ups to Lee Majors for the beat. But it wasn’t released as a single and is not planned for CV as we know by now. It also had no commercial success whatsoever, but still 4m views on youtube. That was 7 months ago.
A few weeks later he released “Krazy” as the album’s 2nd single. He also released a video for it. Long story short, the single flopped commercially. Charted on #24 on the bubbling under top 100 list. Last time a wayne single hasn’t charted on the top 100 was 2008’s “Comfortable”, which on the other side was released as the 5th single after 4 very successful ones. Krazy is a different story: Wayne’s delivery is not bad, at times even solid, but the production is a big letdown and basically just proves that lil wayne is still far away from going back to the roots. And the promising believe me is also starting to run out of radio airplays.
So what does wayne do? He releases another single featuring Drake called “grindin” 5 months ago. Let’s be honest, it’s an okay record but the fact that he brought drake on board AGAIN seems a little desperate. Plus it didn’t chart either giving lil wayne a hard time creating buzz for his upcoming album.
Since the first release-date came closer at the time, let’s recap all the successful singles he’s had so far: believe me… yeah, that’s it. And it only went gold. Let’s not compare this to the first three singles of his 2 previous carter installments. On the other side though, wayne was able to promote his album with the drake vs. lil wayne tour. Even though the tour was a success, people are still not talking about CV as they did about his previous installments.
Sooo baby postponed the album and wayne announced that it’s going to be a double album. Hurray. And he released a song called “Gotti” with The Lox. I think the Lox is dope, just to clarify that in advance. But the song doesn’t fit in sonically AT ALL. Like seriously, I had no idea what direction the album was going to take. Plus once again, the song received little attention.
Then he released “Offday”, which is kinda catchy, but won’t make the album cut. This record kinda reminds me of the 2008-2010 era, just production wise. But it was completely different from “Gotti” which made things.. confusing again?
And last but not least (I guess), a surprising performance of his not yet released 4th single “Start a fire”… didn’t change much I guess. The song itself is more commercially orientated but ironically didn’t chart at all. That was 2 months ago. A video wasn’t released so far.
So yeah, the 2nd release date got closer and Tha Carter V was nowhere to be found. Lil Wayne blames it on CM, which is totally understandable. He has done a lot for the label, shit probably more than anyone else, including Birdman. And now there’s this CM war going on and people start to loose hope for Tha Carter V. But he released Sorry for the Wait 2 a few days ago… Which proved even more that wayne is at the finish line artistically.
So yeah. Tha Carter V Season started 8 months ago. 6 songs (the first 2 were by far the best imo), 4 singles. 5 basically didn’t chart AT ALL and the first one, believe me, released 8(!) months ago, went Gold only. No one knows what to expect and the hype is at a low point right now. And who knows if the tracklist is still accurate.
Tha Carter V I predictions: 125’000-150’000 first week, total up to 400’000.
Tha Carter V II predictions: 75’000-100’000 first week, total up to 275’000.
Niggaa you just wrote a fucking story that no one is going to read. Get the fuck out of here pussy no one cares! Youre a waste of space…
What the fuck is this?!?!?
no one wants to read this bullshit. fuckin think u are, wikipedia?
Fuck what joe said cause i read it. IDK how accurate you are but you do make a valid point . I commmend you…
If Young Money leaves most likely Cash Money will still be getting a percentage from their albums.
Birdman owns all of them. lol.
To all artists, never sign more than a 2 or 3 album contract max. And get a good lawyer to read you the fine print and explain all the clauses in simple terms.
