Lil Wayne has reportedly scored a big win in his ongoing legal battle with Cash Money Records on Wednesday (June 6), which means his long-delayed album Tha Carter V could arrive sooner than we think.
Court documents filed by Wayne’s attorney Howard King (obtained by The Blast) claim that all sides in the lawsuit were willing to move forward and dismiss the suit. Sources also claim that Wayne walked away with a settlement of “well over $10 million.”
Media maven Karen Civil has since taken to Twitter to clear the air.
“A portion of the information released today is true, a settlement has been reached, but the dollar amount being disclosed is false,” she wrote. “Lil Wayne’s PR team will send out a statement shortly with accurate updates.”
Wayne and Birdman’s strained relationship has played out in the public for years. In 2015, Wayne sued Cash Money for $51 million, claiming the record label violated his contract terms and withheld tons of money after delaying his album Tha Carter V several times.
In the years since, Wayne has called out the Cash Money CEO during multiple onstage performances and Birdman repeatedly promised the release of Carter V. Recently, things started to look up for Wayne and Birdman, as they were spotted together at a club back in March. Birdman posted a photo of him and Wayne at a club with the caption,
“Me and my SON.”
Even though Lil Wayne and Birdman were seen hanging out together a few times back in March, the two were still “very hostile” towards each other and there is “no relationship” between them.
Lil Wayne Settlement Update: A portion of the information released today is true, a settlement has been reached, but the dollar amount being disclosed is false! Lil Wayne’s PR team will send out a statement shortly with accurate updates.
