Weezy To Sue Birdman For $8 Million

It's all systems go for Wayne as he battles his way through the legal system to get his album released.

Lil Wayne shocked fans when he declared himself a 'prisoner' by Cash Money last month, as he claimed he wanted nothing to do with
Bryan 'Birdman' Williams, the man behind the delay of Wayne's album.

Wayne then took more shots at the label on his new mix tape, Sorry 4 The Wait 2, as he raps: “Cash Money is an army, I’m a one-man army/ And if them n***as comin’ for me, I’m goin’ out like Tony."

Now TMZ claims that the two tried to come to terms this week, but settlement talks broke down with Wayne now suing his mentor, claiming he owes him $8 million.

The rapper will now ask a judge to declare him free of both Cash Money and Birdman's hold, as Wayne claims he broke terms of their contract by delaying the release.

Birdman has previously said he'll be releasing the album in 'due time', but this is clearly not soon enough for Wayne.

Rick Ross roots for Drake

Rick Ross gets excited when he watches Drake perform.

The 39-year-old rapper's 2006 debut album Port of Miami went straight to the top of the US Billboard 100.

The success of the record cemented his status as one of the hottest new talents on the block and now, eight years later, he owns record label Maybach Music Group. He loves seeing new talent and is a big supporter of Drake.

'That's what's great about [not being new in the business]. When I watch Wale and Drake and I watch Kendrick [Lamar], it's exciting. As fans of the culture, you really feel it,' Rick reasoned to the American edition of GQ.

Both Rick and Kendrick featured on Drake's 2014 track What Are We Living For.

GQ has added Rick to its Legacy Project, honouring the top music makers who have made an impact on the entertainment industry. Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams and Nas also made the cut.

When asked to sum up his legacy, Rick had no problem finding the right words.

'The biggest boss that ever did it! Made it look so easy. So timeless. That's Rozay! Of course,' he enthused.

His last album, Hood Billionaire, was released in November and was met with mixed reviews.

Rick never lets negative comments set him back though and is a big believer in self promotion. He also doesn't think there's such a thing as overexposure.

'If you think someone's overpromoting themselves, you may not be a fan of what's going on. But if it's something you're a fan of, it's hard to say you get too much. [Or] can you overpromote Kanye [West]? It's hard for me to imagine that,' he mused.

Nicki Minaj’s Ex Wants To Clear Up One Rumor Once And For All

Breakups are miserable enough, but when one or both parties involved are celebrities, it can turn into an all-out nightmare. Nicki Minaj and Safaree “Scaff Beezy” Samuels ended their 11-year relationship last year, but a recent interview is still causing a bit of turmoil.

Samuels, who worked closely with Nicki on her music as well — he was the executive producer on Pink Friday — spoke about the breakup with “The Breakfast Club,” and one portion got the rumor mill going.

Samuels said that he sometimes helped Nicki in the studio, which of course started rumors that he wrote raps for her. “Every time it came to writing raps, it was me, her and the beat,” he said at the time.
