During his performance at KMEL Summer Jam yesterday (June 13), Lil Wayne mentioned a business venture.
“I just signed a deal with my muthafuckin’ idol Jay Z,” Lil Wayne said while on stage, per an Instagram post from hellabootsy.
In the clip, the New Orleans rapper did not specify what the deal was, though he had already announced that he had become a member of the ownership team of the Jay Z-fronted streaming service TIDAL.
Lil Wayne is also in the midst of try to get off of his longtime recording home, Cash Money Records.
He also has hired royalty collection company Kobalt in an attempt to gather royalties he believes are owed to him by Cash Money.

UPDATE: Cortez Bryant clarified Lil Wayne’s comments about signing with Jay Z.
“The Internet and blogs took his words out of context,” says Bryant, who is Lil Wayne’s manager, according to Billboard. “When Wayne was speaking about the partnership with Jay Z, he was speaking about his new deal as an artist owner with TIDAL.”
Several publications reported that Lil Wayne had signed to Roc Nation.

What an idiot. Wayne couldn’t stand Jay Z before (though he was the one that previously threatened birdman if he didn’t let go of wayne in 2006)
Do you ever get tired of spewing lies, teethboy?
I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless.

I’m really not a Lil Wayne fan, but I hope he puts that greedy rapist Baby in financial ruin and Hell now that he’s hired a royalties collections firm. That scumbag has been fucking his artists over from jump. Karma is a motherfucker!
Not sure this is the smartest biz move for my nigga wayne ..Only time will tell ..
Let’s not forget Cash Money supported him when he was going through all his drug problems
Jay Z aint no loyal nigga look how he treated beanie sigel and oschino and sparks for proof
jay-z is the richest on of the smartest well connected black men in the world and manages and is responsible for two thirds of rappers rnb and rock artists in america in cluding ludacris young jeezy rick ross and kanye west big sean which all are muilty platnum artist accept for luda he has some diamond albums. and big sean is also sellin if anybody can get weezy realeased from baby its jay z cheers to lil wayne its a smart business move.
Supported him? Did you not read the part about trying to collect royalties? Cash Money played him period
i think is a better idea to sign with JAY Z
Cash Money played EVERYBODY that made the millions of dollars. BG, Juvie, Turk, Manny Fresh and now Wayne. Baby been a greedy snake since the mid 2000s. Much better option to sign with Hov or just be independent since he’s already an established artist with a huge fan base
it’s so cool
