Not only does Lil Wayne want to be emancipated from his contract with Birdman and Cash Money Records, the YMCMB rapper now want $51 million, TMZ reports.
Days after the celebrity gossip blog reported Wayne planned to sue his mentor, TMZ is now stating that they have acquired the actual lawsuit.
Within the documents, Wayne claims Birdman owes him tens of millions of dollars for his postponed album, Tha Carter V. Birdman has violated the deal and Wayne is ready to legally address the matter.
Sources close to the rapper have told TMZ that the only way Birdman can release the album under Cash Money is if he fully compensates Wayne.
The site reported over the weekend that Wayne’s concerns stem from an $8 million advance he was supposed to receive when he began recording the album in December, 2013.
Birdman was allegedly responsible for paying another 2 million to Wayne once he finished the album a year later.
Wayne claims he hasn’t received any of it.
The tarnished relationship – which Wayne exposed last month via Twitter – has also led the 32-year-old rapper to request for joint copyright ownership of his Young Money Recordings imprint .
Wayne plans to take Drake, Nicki Minaj, Euro, Stephanie Acevedo and the rest of the artists on his label with him when he goes.

Somewhere in Philly Gillie da Kid is laughin his ass off.
Somewhere in Philly, Gillie da Kid is still broke and wishing he had Lil Wayne money!
Somewhere in Philly Gillie da Kid isn’t really giving a fuck about wayne at this point.
i’m from Philly, and Gillie doin just fine, his new shit poppin & he still receivin royalties from tha carter.
Birdman ain’t going to pay him that much to put out a crappy album. Wayne got greedy at the end, wanted money from other projects he had no involvement in (like nicki’s newest album), and there were even credible rumors he was giving cash money secrets to Kayne West, putting the security of cash money at risk.
Please. It was Birdman who got greedy since Wayne is in no position to be greedy. All you are doing is wasting time repeating the same lies over and over like a broken record. Everything you stated, including the last sentence, is all shit you made up.
Damn, that’s a lot of money to lose, if he has that.
birdman dont have that he cant even pay his condo fees or the million dollars in renos he did at his mansion
Birdman has more than enough money. He ain’t paying condos because they keep screwing him around.
No, he doesn’t, Danny girl. The condos don’t screw him around, it’s the other way around.
The owners sabotaged electricity and water supplies.
Making up lies doesn’t change the fact that Birdman is a greedy fuck who doesn’t pay people.
Making up lies won’t change the fact that Birdman is a greedy fuck who doesn’t pay anyone.
Thats like half of Baby’s money… are these niccas getting a divorce and Wayne is taking half?
Sorry net worth, Baby doesn’t have money like that.
Wayne was nothing more than birdman’s son. Birdman sure ain’t gay and he has more than 200 million cash.
He’s not his son, though. Birdman kissed another man on the lips, so he is gay and there’s no way he would have $200 million.
Wayne is basically birdman’s stepson or at least father figure. As a father myself, this reminded me when my son said hurtful things about me. I would be depressed too if my son were to demand money from me.
Please. You’re not a father and Birdman is not Wayne’s father. Simply put, Birdman fucked over Wayne, end of discussion.
Please. You’re not a father and neither is Birdman to Wayne. Simply put, Wayne got screwed over, end of discussion.
No, not end of discussion pussy. Birdman is wayne’s Father figure at least which make him sort of a father (hell birdman has actual kids of his own). And I do have 2 male teens and I’m married happily.
Yes, end of discussion since you’re not saying anything new. just recycling the sae shit. Birdman is not Wayne’s father and you don’t have kids, making you not a father (no father wastes time trolling comments sections and you are way too young).
I ain’t trolling though. Quit being a wayne stan.
Yes, you are trolling, And you’re the Wayne stan, not me.
@Dan, nah dude, he does not have 200 mil cash. Google it, his Net worth is 170 Mil, and most of that is the record label, certainly not in liquid assets.
If weezy really walked with 51, it would destroy that has been record label. But he won’t I think someone already posted this line but it is pretty fitting “Contract all fucked up, I guess that means you all fucked up. You signed to one nigga that’s signed to another nigga that’s signed to three niggas, now that’s bad luck”
Making up lies doesn’t change the fact that Birdman is a greedy fuck who doesn’t pay people. I visited one of the condos birdman used to stay in and the building was terrible. Rats in the house and dust everywhere. The condos fucked me over along with birdman.
Also, Birdman is very generous to his artists. It’s wayne who isn’t paying the bills to his artists. Wayne withheld his reward to drake for completing his album while baby gave drake his.
You didn’t visit shit, so that’s a lie. Birdman fucked over the condos. Plus, Birdman is not generous to his artists and it was Wayne who rewarded Drake, not Birdman. Stop defending a man who doesn’t know you.
Were you around in my life? Didn’t think so. You don’t know me. Birdman is indeed generous to his people. I seen him give turkeys out to homeless children last thanksgiving at florida.
I don’t have to know you to know you’re lying. Birdman is not generous to anyone and he didn’t give out any turkeys on Thanksgiving.
IM OUT BITCH!!
Anytime you say that, that means you give up.
Dan; giving to homeless is as hypocratic as it goes, just cuz someone gives to the homeless or orphans doesn’t make him generous, that’s a strategy they use to make people think they are kind, ok , you go and ask him for help say just $100 if he will give
I ONLY HAVE TWO THINGS TO SAY.
1. Wayne has no money, no label, and is stuck in his contract. How the hell or why they hell would Nick and Drake want to go with him? If Birdman did that to Wayne, then how much does he owe the other two artist?
2. “Niggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily
Like these rappers rap about all the shit that I do really
I’m like “Really: half a billi nigga, really?” you got baby money Keep it real with niggas, niggas ain’t got my lady’s money” Jay-Z
“Contract all fucked up, I guess that means you’re all fucked up
You signed to one niggaa, that signed to another nigga, that signed to three niggas, now that’s bad luck
Damn that shit even the odds now, you better off selling this hard now You call that living out your dreams?” Pusha T
“With your baby mama fucking every rapper in the business
Niggas saying you was better when the drugs was in your system
Now your crack swag gone ever since u came from prison
Got you tweeting all stupid, is you skatin’, is you dissin’
Found out your ghost leased and your phantom just rented
Won’t leave it in your name like Pac when he went missing
Makaveli lives on so I’m riding on you bitches” Pusha T
Dan is really Young Thug defending his boyfriend Birdman. He stole him from Lil Wayne and is looking to steal everything from him, including his career and his image.
this is a friend os the u.s army if you now the likeing of the jealous animals of obama bill cliten the black commiany hip hop contact navy base asap their very dangous and their putting hits on people as seen on tv and songs
FREE B. GIZZLE
It was bound to happen….
Wayne is all grown up and baby has robbed him blind nothing left wayne
I love all these fucking internet bloggers. You guys are a bunch of morons if you think when is broke and has no money. Its about the principle not the Money. Its come down to money cause Birdman would not let him leave. You broke loser typing in this comments section saying he has no money is laughable and ridiculous. How much money to you guys realistically make? that you can call him broke?
how many years did he not pay taxes? how many millions did he owe the IRS?
^^Okay and?
real rich niggas dont owe the irs millions multiple times
This is a crazy situation, But Wayne is even crazier to think that he can skate off of Cash Money, and delusional thinking Drake and Niki will be leaving with him……
man all these comments chat so much shit, so many clueless cats
