There hasn’t been a moment of peace in the Young Money-Cash Money empire for some time now.
Lil Wayne and Birdman hitherto had one of the top mentor-mentee relationships in the music biz; until trouble struck over delays in releasing Weezy’s latest album.
The Carter V has been in the pipeline for a while now, but it’s release has been hit by several delays that Lil Wayne believes is deliberate.
The situation has gotten so bad, Lil Wayne had to bring legal action against his boss. In the suit, he’s seeking $8million, which is supposed to be an advance he should have received on the Carter V. He also wants to be released from his contractual obligations to Cash Money, claiming by failing to release his new work Birdman has violated their contract.
Since then, there’s been some hope this could be resolved amicably- apparently not. After Performing at a club in Jacksonville during the week, Weezy gave a pretty emphatic indication of where things stand. In a video uploaded by an Instagram user, Weezy all but confirmed his animosity towards his former mentor.
“ Free Weezy Album coming soon; Carter V coming soon.
F*ck Cash Money” He concluded, then he exited with one of his famous mic-drops.
Guess we all know there’s no end in sight for this thing. Since he’s still under contract with Cash Money, that pretty much shows he expects a legal resolution to this dispute and not any amicable settlement.
What’s unnerving though, is that Birdman has been basically mute during this whole thing. It’ll be interesting to see where this whole situation would leave the Weezy-Baby relationship.
One thing is sure though; we ain’t seeing The Carter V anytime soon.
