Seems like this rift between Lil Wayne and Birdman is getting even uglier. After the rumored lawsuit filed by Weezy for $8 million for advance money from Tha Carter V, the price just went up.
According to TMZ, the Cash Money artist wants $51 million and wants the judge to declare that he has joint copyright ownership of Drake, Nicki Minaj, and the rest of the YMCMB artists.
Sources connected to Wayne tell TMZ … if Birdman antes up then he can release “Tha Carter V,” but only if Wayne gets paid. Wayne says he was supposed to get an $8 million advance when he began recording in December, 2013 and another 2M when he completed the album a year later, but so far he’s gotten nothing.
