Birdman Accuses Lil Wayne Of Swindling Him Regarding to Drake Royalties
The beef within Birdman and Lil Wayne is still ongoing. The latest issue just landed both in court. The beef between Cash Money Records CEO Bryan “Baby” Willams and Dwayne “Lil Wayne” Carter Jr. is presently in the court of law.
Aspire Music Group, the brand that was founded by Wayne’s manager Cortez Bryant, filed a lawsuit against Cash Money, Young Money, Republic Records, and Universal Music Group for royalties related to YMCMB poster boy Drake.
A New York judge ruled against Cash Money’s request to have the case dropped, so Baby countersued, alleging that Bryant and Carter conspired to monopolize the profits from Drake.
According to court documents, “There was no business purpose to forming Aspire, other than to siphon profits out of the joint venture and to divert those profits to Sweeney, Bryant, and Carter/ Young Money. Aspire never conducted any business other than getting Drake signed to a record label. Aspire has never signed, nor sought to sign, a single additional artist.”
Despite Cortez and Carter’s close relationship, neither Wayne nor Young Money are mentioned in the lawsuit.
