Birdman and Lil Wayne have officially declared war … settlement talks have broken down and Wayne will now sue his mentor, claiming among other things Birdman owes him $8 million.
As TMZ reported … the 2 titans tried coming to terms this week but it wasn’t meant to be. Now Wayne will ask a judge to declare him free of Cash Money and Birdman’s control. Wayne says Birdman has violated their contract by withholding the release of his new album.
As for the $8 MIL claim … Wayne says Birdman owed the money for his latest album — it was supposed to be an advance.
Birdman has held firm … he will release the album “in due time,” but clearly that’s not good enough for Wayne. We’re told Wayne will keep recording but he will release his works outside of the Cash Money umbrella.
Earlier this week, Lil’ Wayne dropped his Sorry 4 The Wait 2 mixtape, which included a remix of O.T. Genasis CoCo. On the record, Wayne is taking aim at the label and now-estranged father.
“Who kept this shit together? N***a, me, that’s who
Who was there when n****s left us? N***a, me, that’s who
Cash Money is an army, I’m a one-man army
And if them n****s comin’ for me, I’m goin’ out like Tony
Now I don’t want problems, I just want my money
Ain’t gotta hold no conversation or my luggage
Tell whoever’s countin’ that I’m on a hundred
Birdman Jr., more like Ugly Duckling”

I’m wondering if there are enough injured parties to constitute a class action law suit against Cash Money. Juvenile, BG, Manny, Bow Wow, Gudda, Chucky, Twist, Tyga, Busta, Mystical, Wayne and others not known????
