Tyga’s demands just increased ten-fold. According to TMZ, a source close to Tyga revealed the Compton-bred rapper wants $10 million from Cash Money and Young Money Records.
He alleges Lil Wayne and Birdman never paid him all of the royalties he earned from Careless World and Hotel California. However, the source insists it’s “nothing personal” against Wayne.
In 2016, Tyga said Cash Money and Young Money agreed to a settlement but he claims he never saw any money. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]

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.
He says in 2016, Cash Money and Young Money agreed to a settlement that would take care of all the unpaid royalties but didn’t receive a cent.
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”]
GTFOH..LOL That’s like trying to sue Social Services for Child Support… you ain’t getting that money.
Didn’t wayne eventually get even more money than tyga is asking for?
That’s cuz Lil Wayne had more incriminating evidence of him and Birdman doing more than kissing lol.
not to mention Wayne pulled in a thousand times more money for the label over what, 15 years or so than tyga did in his short tenure
Who believes this fool generated a million in revenue. Hell, who believes he generated $100,000? Seems like that wack shit he was dropping was the tax write-off part of the label.
I don’t know shit about record label finances, but can’t deny that “Rack City” put some bread in those Cash Money accounts.
10 MILL? rack city was a decently big hit but thats about it.. his albums never sold shit. he’ll be lucky to get 10k from them.
thanks to piracy.
lmao this broke ass shouldve signed to OVO
Birdman don’t pay nobody I heard Tyga on the Breakfast club couple years ago saying he hasn’t seen a cent of his money from Cash Money records
These hoes always out here tryin to get in your pocket.
TyGay ain’t gettin’ 10 cents from TURDMAN! You already KNOW he wasn’t sh*t when he signed so he gotta SUCKA Deal, and he never recouped the Costs Dumb Money runs up! He LOST the Billionaire chick and NOW this embarrassment …….. might think of goin’ into gay porn chump!
Tyga is the embodiment of desparation.
From Carson not Compton.. Suburb lifestyle.
LMFAOOOOO!!! That boy didn’t have a million in royalties. He must be charging super interest. lol
Don’t forget Cash Money “paid” for your music videos. They’re subtracting that from whatever you got in royalties.
