Son of Rap-A-Lot founder J. Prince, Jas Prince, has reportedly sued Cash Money Records founders Bryan “Birdman” Williams and brother Ronald “Slim” Williams for a second time, according to new legal documents obtained by TMZ. The younger Prince, who initially hooked Drake up with the management company Aspire Music Group and Cash Money, has been embroiled in a financial fight with the Cash Money CEO since 2015, when he originally attempted collect on the money he says is owed to him.
According to the new lawsuit filed in New York, Birdman has consistently ignored any contractual duty to pay Aspire Music one-third of his Drake profits. The lawsuit also claims Birdman signed Drake to an exclusive deal in January 2013, but the new contract allegedly breached Drake’s original one.
The contract “further provides that Defendants are to pay Drake more than $10 million that should have been paid to Aspire, including at least $4 million in connection with albums that were previously produced pursuant to the Aspire/YME Agreement,” says the lawsuit.
Prince is no stranger to lawsuits. In 2014, he sued Young Money, which is under Cash Money, for $11 million over Drake’s unpaid royalties and reached a settlement in 2016. This time, he’s apparently intent on winning again. Aspire, which Prince partly owns, has reportedly hired attorney Marc Kasowitz, who also represents President Donald Trump. Last week, Prince’s father went on record assuring people he would get the money back even if it’s “in [Birdman’s] ass.” Watch the clip above and read the official court documents here.
With all the money Birdman owes I’m surprised nobody put hands on him or shot at him yet . I guess lawsuits are better than violence
If they shoot him, where will they get the money from?
Jas and J prince need to move on they ain’t getting nothing out of the birdman, the money he owe yall and wayne he using that money to pay lawyers to keep figuring out ways not to pay yall.
J Prince said get it out birdman ass he would love some man playing around his back door, J Prince will get that money
imagine Birdman bending over like “come and get it, playboy”
Birdman’s not going to win this one. J and Jas usually only go into lawsuits they know they’ll win or where the settlement’s in their favor.
Shouldn’t drake be a free agent by now? How many albums did he agree to make with birdman nd CM? Gz, Baby got drake in one of those early 90’s Puffy Daddy contracts. Puff had the Lox stuck for 15 years. So get ready for a long trip Drizzy. And I don’t think Birdman gonna be scared Prince and his goons. He got a flock of knuckleheads too. Oh well Drake just the new table everybody eating of him. He even opened a strip club in Houston for Prince. Just to get help with baby. Smh crazy gotta read them contracts ppl.
They aren’t getting a dime. Even if you win, he still won’t pay. Kinda like how J Prince didn’t pay his own artists. Birdman’s lawyers laughed at your “contract”
“this is standard operating procedure for requesting your paycheck from cash money records…brrrrrrrr” – birdman
