Lil Wayne is officially no longer entertaining settlement talks with Cash Money Records and Birdman, TMZ reports.
Tunechi filed a 21-page lawsuit against his label January of last year for withholding millions of dollars from him in relation to Tha Carter V release ($8 million in advance and another $2 million upon completion). Lil Wayne claims he’s seen none of the money that he’s contractually owed.
Sources tell TMZ that talks fell out within the past month, with the topic of discussion being centered around the release of Tha Carter V which apparently went no where. The the 33-year-old Young Money boss has now terminated all talks with Cash Money.
Before filing the lawsuit in early 2015, Wayne blasted the record company on Twitter for the album’s delay a month prior.
“I want off this label and nothing to do with these people but unfortunately it ain’t that easy,” Lil Wayne said. “I am a prisoner and so is my creativity Again,I am truly sorry and I don’t blame ya if ya fed up with waiting 4 me & this album. But thk u.”
Since then, rumors have swirled of Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne leaving Cash Money for mismanagement. Birdman went on record saying the three of them aren’t going anywhere.
When it looked like a resolution was nigh, Weezy F. Baby was photographed with Baby’s arch-nemesis’ Trick Daddy and Rick Ross in April, at Beyonce’s Formation World Tour stop in Miami. TMZ’s source reveals that is when talks allegedly broke down.
The two Miami rappers publicly denounced Birdman’s actions towards Lil Wayne on separate occasions during their interviews on Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club. Those discussions didn’t sit too well with Birdman prompting him to confront Charlamagne Tha God on air for “playing” with his name and demanded that he put some “respek” on it. Rick Ross sent Charlamange a few Belair black bottles after the heated exchange went viral.
Furthermore, Lil Wayne made his feelings crystal clear this past weekend during his performance at The Denver Annual 420 Rally, shouting out, “fuck Cash Money” on stage.
In March, Mannie Fresh gave some insight into Lil Wayne and Birdman’s progression towards reconciliation, or lack thereof, revealing that the pair had yet to make up.
Tha Carter V has yet to receive a release date. Young Thug however, has his own plans of releasing a mixtape with the same title if it doesn’t drop soon.
Baby Asked For This. Wayne Shouldnt Have To Fight For Whats Rightfully His.
It’s obvious what Baby is doing. He’s trying to freeze Wayne out. No checks. No music. No releases. So by the time Wayne get’s a new album out, he’ll be a has been.
Hope wayne gets that shit sqashed in court burys turdman the f aggot and release tha carter v and starts whipping up some fresh shit and releases more music and grows his talent
I heard birdman was willing to forgive wayne and not punish him but Wayne has gotten more greedy then ever. He has fallen off big time in sales and quality but he still wants more. Fvcking backstabber.
What the duck r you talking about everybody knows Birdman don’t pay you what you deserve.if your a lil Wayne hater cool but don’t be crazy
I don’t understand the delay of Tha Carter V. If Birdman is on the interview saying that he’s not holding back Tha Carter V and he has no problem releasing, WHY HAS THE ALBUM STILL NOT BEEN RELEASED FROM 2014 AND IT’S ALMOST GOING ON 2017????
It doesn’t make sense to me. Lil’ Wayne sees what Birdman is saying as a big lie. From Birdman said that in the interview, we should at least see some commercial for the album.
Its not just birdman birdman owns his company and all and thats great but his distribution deals are handled by UNIVERSAL which is one of the large distributers in the world so its probably something to do in combination of the distribution deals contract and something in waynes contract that hes not letting go public for some reason that prevents him from releasing anything to do with “tha carter” some trademark bullshit probably even though its his own name which is sad FREE WEEZY
Have you ever heard of punctuation? Wait, you probably don’t know any better. Was 2nd grade the last time you were in school?

Didn’t Birdman try to have him hit up on the tour bus smh trying kill me the man for money you owe him
Tune Lives YA DIG!
Tha Carter V? Who gives a fuck about that bullshit album? I sure hell dont
Man Cash Money just a joke! New Mula here it’s at, up and coming stars! http://newmula.com #newmula #1 underground entertainment!
Wayne probably didn’t make a profit for Cash Money……..guess the Carter sersies costed more to make than it acctually made in revenue. Wayne didn’t compensate Cash Money with his tour money and the money he made of Drake and Nicky.
So he gets shelved……like any rapper who doesn’t make a profit for the company. And doesn’t read the fine print that Cash Money also gets paid for his other ventures like Young Money. Baby gave Wayne an Eazy- E contract……lol
No album worth $8 mill advance plus another $2…They not selling. I agree Birdman.
