As Cobb County prosectors decide whether to press charges on Birdman and Young Thug for their involvement in the 2015 Lil Wayne tour bus shooting, some potentially damning evidence has surfaced.
Atlanta’s WSB-TV obtained a new civil court filing showing Thug made eight calls to alleged shooter PeeWee Roscoe (real name Jimmy Winfrey) in the 12 minutes before the incident. Audio of a phone call between the Cash Money CEO and Roscoe has also leaked.
“It’s time for you to come out here and get your money, man,” Birdman says in the audio clip. “You done did everything you could do, boss. It’s an eye-opener, bruh. Strictly business, man.”

Birdman originally denied any involvement in the shooting but if prosecutors have their way, he and Thugger could be charged as co-conspirators.
Roscoe pleaded guilty to the crime in November 2015 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but his conviction was eventually overturned.
Prosecutors are expected to make a decision on the charges against Birdman and Thug in the next two weeks.

Birdman and Young Thug are reportedly under investigation for the 2015 Lil Wayne tour bus shooting. According to TMZ, the Cobb County D.A. is trying to determine if the Cash Money Records CEO was the mastermind behind the incident.
The shooting took place in Atlanta after Wayne finished a show at the Compound nightclub. No one was injured but the shooter — PeeWee Roscoe — was arrested and tried in court. After pleading guilty, he was given a 10-year sentence but appealed the conviction. Subsequently, Roscoe’s conviction was overturned in July.
Back in 2015, Roscoe maintained Birdman should be held liable.
“[Birdman’s] financial dispute with [Lil Wayne] is what ultimately led to the shooting,” Winfrey said court documents. “[Birdman] should be held liable as a party to the crime.”
Birdman and Wayne have had a contentious relationship over the years, which is what allegedly led to the shooting. Since then, the two have seemingly reconciled and Wanye was finally relinquished from his Cash Money contract.
Their rift caused Wayne’s highly anticipated album, Tha Carter V, to be shelved for years. It finally saw the light of day on Thursday night (September 27).
For now, Thug’s role in the shooting is undetermined. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Who didn’t see this comin
Cock County at it again. Always got their noses in something. Racist, crooked bastards. Those two probably did it. Who else would do i The shooter already snitched. Its a wrap for the homo thug love triangle
Birdman is a wankster young fruity thug put some respeck on that getting exposed
All that recent fake love by Birdman towards Lil Wayne smh. All Birdman had to do was give Wayne what was rightfully his a decade ago and probably the both of them would of been making money together till this day. Money is the root of all evil . Evil enough to try kill your so called “son” that he claimed he loved so much.
I’m getting tired of the bullshit that birdman fucks over everyone and is a gangster. He is a hardworking family man and Wayne’s backstabbing devastated him. Birdman and young thug have nothing to do with the shooting.
its that you birdman???
Crazy how much Baby destroyed what could’ve been a billion dollar business potentially. With how hot Wayne was back in 06-08, Drake, Nicki. Great deal with Universal. Just pissed it all away. So many lost opportunities. RIP Cash Money.
He was blessed with manny fresh beats, Wayne going from the most garbage rapper to the hottest, plus drake and nicki… and he still fucked it up and had his home foreclosed.
Birdman and Trump share a lot of similarities. Both are narcissistic ego maniacs, but with Birdman being gay makes him even more unpredictable.
no… no they dont. good try tho. keep blaming THE MAN!
they finna suge knight birdman
Young Thug finna drop the soap multiple times on purpose too. You can just see him prancing about all dolled up in prison and enjoying every moment of it.
I like how you recyled this one
Hahahaha man this picture is too vivid.
Shocker.
Fake news publicity stunt fot Tha Carter shit trash
I doubt it. There actually an audio recording of the conversation of birdman speaking to someone after the incident.
Birdman you snake. That man built your company then saved it when it was about to go down. Your greed took you down and you and that no talent meth head are done and will end up with nothing but 5×8 cell where you belong. Fk both of you for trying to kill a legend.
I agree with you except Lil’ Wayne didn’t build Cash Money…Juvenile did.
I remember this. now birdman is really angry?
This is why you don’t trust NOBODY!! Your own family and friends will try to kill you. Thats what MONEY DO…..
Haha damnnnn them phones will getcha and to think young thug almost become lil wayne #2 like he always dreamnt of!
If you study 2pac its plain to see who killed him
fuck scandalous much?
upon more thought, isn’t birdman a name ripped off of a marvel superhero? he could get sued for the use of the name.
sure…just as soon after the Gotti estate finally wins any court cases over the 500 rappers with Gotti in their name.
you know it ain’t that bad.
He’ll nah they try to TUPAC Wayne…. That call dont sound like Baby was puttin the hit out. It sounded like he was tellin dude to chill.
Is it really a huge surprise? Thugger was obviously meant to be a Wayne clone from the beginning, I’m guessing once Birdman figured out he could make money off both of them he decided to squash the beef with Wayne
The question we all should be asking is where did they get that audio from? There’s really only two options: either one of them recorded it or ALL OUR FUCKIN CALLS ARE RECORDED
The calls were made to dude while he was in prison. All prison calls are recorded. They only have a call log from before the shooting, no audio.
Don’t understand how Wayne can align himself with a guy that tried to have him killed. This is pretty crazy
Is The Cash Money Hot Boyz storypart 2 of The movie Five HeartBeats ?! No it’s their own ! Song of the day Hot Boyz (Tues. & Thurs.)
Birdman was in love with Wayne and mad that Wayne briefly stopped fucking with him over money, and Young Thug was a stan/groupie who was upset Wayne never embraced him. This is why they wanted him dead….It’s crazy what love and obsession can trigger people to do.
funny how this all ‘surfaces’ after weezy album has just dropped
