Rapper, Lil Wayne has finally come out victorious in his longstanding legal dispute against Birdman, Cash Money Records and Universal Records.
Recall that the two have been in a legal battle for a long period of time with Wayne accusing Birdman of owing him tens of millions of dollars, including an $8 million advance for “Tha Carter V,” plus $2 million once the album was finished.
As some point, Wayne threatened to terminate his Young Money label, which is under the Cash Money/Universal umbrella.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Wayne’s attorney, Howard King, filed a notice with the court on May 23 that all sides are ready to dismiss the lawsuit.
Sources say Universal wrote a big check to settle the suit and none of the money came from Birdman. The amount, is “well over $10 million.”
