BIRDMAN SUED FOR SAMPLING MUSIC
We all know Cash Money CEO Birdman is no stranger to lawsuits or paying them in that matter. Well today he got hit hard by some writers in the tune of a few million dollars.
Lil Wayne & Cash Money sampled some tracks for their song “You” and “Certified” and well apparently Birdman doesn’t want to pay up. What is ironic is Lil Wayne claims Birdman did the same thing to him as well which has a current separate lawsuit.
Birdman and Cash Money now have to pay the veteran writers a sum of $3.3 Million although Lil Wayne is still suing Birdman for $51 Million. We’re told Birdman will be paying the writers since he just scored a huge label deal with Apple Music.
The question is will Lil Wayne get awarded his judgement in his $51 Million lawsuit? Or we will continue to see wearing “F*ck Cash Money” hats and dissing the label. Lil Wayne might want to talk to his lawyers once Birdman’s label deal is finalized.
