Lil Wayne has reportedly won in court against Birdman and Cash Money Records, The Blast reports. Last night, court documents were obtained showing that Wayne’s attorney filed a notice on May 23 claiming “all sides” were down for dismissing the suit. Universal then cut a settlement check to Wayne for “well over $10 million.” The documents also allege that Wayne is now officially off of Cash Money and that Tha Carter V will be released through Universal. HYPEBEAST has reached out to Cash Money reps for comment.
Tha Carter V was supposed to release years ago as Wayne’s final album and has been in headlines since 2012. “I know y’all want me around for a little bit, and Carter V is my last album,” Weezy told Sway during I Am Not a Human Being II promo. “Man, I’ve been rappin’ since I was 8 years old. I’m 30 now, man. That’s a long time, man.”
The legal battle between Wayne and Birdman dates back to December 2014 when Wayne took to Twitter to share his displeasures with Cash Money and Baby. They were last seen together in March, hugging it out at Club LIV in Miami.
