Birdman is suing Jay Z
First the fat boys break up. As the separation between Lil Wayne and BIRDMAN continues to play out in public things are getting nasty.
Just yesterday it was reported that Birdman was named in the indictment as a conspirator in the shooting of Lil Wayne tour bus a few months ago.
Now TMZ is reporting that Baby and Cash Money are suing TIDAL for illegally streaming Lil Wayne’s music. Birdman maintains that his estranged artist has no ability to license his music.
TIDAL counters and claims Cash Money doesn’t have exclusivity. BIRDMAN even says that Tidal is making a desperate attempt to save their failing streaming service and pretty much calls the FWA album trash.
Read below:
The lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, gets nasty, with Cash Money claiming Jay Z’s fledgling company is now resorting to “a desperate and illegal attempt to save their struggling streaming service.”
According to the lawsuit, Tidal has claimed Cash Money does not have a exclusive lock on Wayne … Tidal claims Wayne specifically gave it the right to stream his music, in return for part ownership in the company.
Cash Money begs to differ, and the company quotes portions of its contract with Lil Wayne in the lawsuit. The contract specifically says Wayne does not have the power to license his music to anyone else.
And get this … Cash Money trashes Wayne’s ‘FWA’ album, saying it got “tepid reviews” and could hurt Cash Money’s attempts to exploit Wayne’s music.
