Lil Wayne’s tour bus was shot at in April after the rapper performed at Atlanta’s Compound night club. Nobody was hurt in the shooting, but there was $20,000 worth of damage.
Birdman and Young Thug, who used to employ Winfrey, were named in an indictment for the case for reportedly conspiring to have Lil Wayne killed. The Cash Money CEO denied his involvement in the crime. He said he still has a father-son relationship with the New Orleans rapper, but that, “Hip Hop gets gangsta sometimes.”
According to TMZ, shortly after the shooting, Winfrey used a cell phone that was owned by Birdman.
