Word on the street is that Lil Wayne will stay with Cash Money and Birdman if they pay up the money he’s owned. In fact TMZ confirms that if Cash Money pays up, Lil Wayne has no choice but to stay!
There are 2 payments that have messed up Wayne – he says he was owed $8 million when he went into the studio to record “Tha Carter V” in December 2013, and another $2 million, when he completed the album last month.
Apparently the hope is that Universal, which distributes Cash Money records, will step in and earmark the $10 mil for Wayne. In fact Universal is already putting pressure on Cash Money to settle (eeeeeek).
If Cash Money pays Wayne the $10 mil, it could possibly eliminate any breach of contract. That means Wayne would have no legal basis to ask out of the contract.
Let’s not forget that Lil Wayne is also suing for $51 million!
