Lil Wayne heats up the Legal Suit with Young Money5 min read

Rapper Lil Wayne has heated things up when it comes to his ongoing legal battle with Young Money. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the rapper added Universal Music Group as well as Cash Money co-owners Birdman and Slim to his pending lawsuit, which asserts conspiracy and asks for more than $40 million in damages.

Sources say Wayne filed an amended petition in New Orleans today and the suit reads “Lil Wayne claims that Cash Money has been debt-ridden and persistently undercapitalized, unable to pay him the $8 million advance on ‘Tha Carter V’ and the huge profits that should be flowing in from the success of Young Money.”

It further states that “Young Money’s addition of superstars Drake and Nicki Minaj added both luster and substantial money at stake. Through his agreements, Lil Wayne claimed partial ownership and profits from those artists.” In other words, he wants his Drake and Nicki profits!

“There’s also been unhappiness stemming from the years-long delay of the release of “Tha Carter V,” a logjam that could partly be attributable to some of the financial disputes,” the lawsuit states.
