Lil Wayne to Drop Lawsuit Against Birdman & Cash Money Records

From the looks of things, it seems like Lil Tunechi has backed up the dates and stopped the lawsuit from moving forward–for now. Though there have been several allegations and rumors leading up to this $51 million suit, Rollingstone.com, has confirmed that Lil Wayne will NOT proceed to drop the lawsuit on Cash Money, but will file for a new one in New Orleans!

While dubbing the original lawsuit filed in the native land of New York for both Cash Money Records and Universal Music Group, these parties have decided to re-file the lawsuit in New Orleans, where Wayne had originally signed his Cash Money contract. "The claims previously asserted by Lil Wayne and Young Money LLC against Cash Money for substantial monies owed and breach of fiduciary duty have not been settled and will be prosecuted in Louisiana as expeditiously as possible,” Weezy’s camp told The Rolling Stone.

Unfortunately, this fiasco came upon us when the Stuntin’ Like My Daddy rapper took to social media that he wanted off of his label, Cash Money Records in December. He accused Cash Money and it’s CEO Bryan Birdman Williams of refusing to release his new album The Carter V, and pay him the $8 million advance that was reportedly promised to him. Alongside of social media rants, he expressed his concerns on his latest mixtape Sorry For The Wait 2, Coco Freestyle. Yes, shots were definitely fired, and at this point Lil Wayne has no words for Birdman, according to The Rolling Stone.

Although the artist was not able let his hair down on the Carter V album, Wayne has not slowed down a bit with his up-and-coming project titled Free Weezy. As Wayne has been out promoting his album at clubs, and many other events, Birdman has been doing a little self promo while rekindling the old flame with the Leather So Soft throwback at a few of the Young Thug concerts. The feud between these two seem to be getting quite steamy with club appearance shade and more!

We can only hope for the best in this situation, because who would have ever imagined the day of Birdman and Birdman Jr. coming to a close! Stay tuned for more updates on this story.

Lil' Kim Calls Out Nicki Minaj For Lack Of Originality In Her New Diss Track 'Identity Theft'

The Queen Bee strikes again! Lil' Kim is fresh off maternity leave and coming for the kill. Just a few days after remixing the remix of Beyoncé's "Flawless" featuring her fellow rap rival Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim held no mercy as she called Nicki out once again in her new single "Identity Theft."

Lil Kim tweeted out the diss track on August 6 along with single art and photos that seem to expose Nicki Minaj imitating the same fashion and hair styles that the rapper originally sported. In "Identity Theft," the Queen Bee accuses the first lady of YMCMB of swagger jacking her style in the Hip Hop game all while letting her know she's coming to reclaim her fame.

The rapper shows her hatred towards Miss Minaj throughout the entire track but the end of the first verse seemed to bite the most.

These swagger jackers give the game a bad look./Pop sh-t on Twitter and apologize on Facebook/And now they wanna send me requests/Telling me that I'm simply the best./I won't stop till I see my enemies rest./They probably get locked up for identity theft/ I ain't got time for bum b-tches/ The gun hidden, I come with it/ Anything you tryna do, I done did it/ I'll let you live for a while but I'm done with the crown/ The queen's back, b-tches, come get it.

Lil Kim's beef towards Nicki Minaj now seems to be at an all time high. Releasing two diss tracks towards the same person in literally the same week is not turning out to be such a good look for Kim but it's definitely getting her tons of publicity. We'll just have to wait to see if Nicki will give Kim's recent antics the time of day by releasing a diss track of her own in the coming days.

I'm guessing Drake decided all that bullsh-t is for the birds after he teamed up with former rival,Chris Brown, in addition to Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin to design a hilarious skit for the 2014 ESPY Awards. The YMCMB rapper held his own in front of the stars as the host of the biggest night in sports which took place on July 16 at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

After the two artists got into a heated bottle brawl in a New York City nightclub back in 2012, all hopes for any future Breezy and Drizzy collaborations quickly went out the window. Fast forward to 2014 now that Drake's wining and dinning of Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend Rihanna went downhill and Chris Brown took a trip to prison for a couple of months - it seems as though the two have put their differences aside and recoiled for the better in more ways than one.

The skit that Chris was featured in was called 'Drake and Blake' which revolved around Blake Griffin and Drake poking fun at each of other A-list personalities and tendencies. Chris Brown made his cameo in the skit as a doctor who was about to do surgery on Drake.The scene poked fun at the beef that the two music artists had in the past all while causing tons of laughter from the audience. After the skit, Chris reconfirmed that he's America's sweetheart as he brought hilarity to what once was a sour moment between him and Drake.

Before word even got out about Chris and Drake's skit for the ESPY's, a photo of the two artists surfaced on Instagram a week before the award show. The duo was pictured in a recording studio and seem to have been working on something. The true origin of the photo is unknown but whoever took it must have known it would put a smile on a lot of people's faces.

Nicki Minaj Drops A Fierce Freestyle On The Mike-Will-Made-It Produced Track 'No Flex Zone'

No shade, no shade but Nicki Minaj is completely running this rap game. The raptress and keeper of many different personalities has did it on 'em once again with the release of her unofficial remix to the Mike-Will-Made-It produced track "No Flex Zone." Miss Minaj dominates her verse on the track as she remixes the hit single but sort-of outshines the track's original artist Rae Sremmurd's even though his vocals still remain on the beat.

With hard-hitting references to being as relevant as Maybach Music Group head hocho Rick Ross and having a home next to Hollywood A-list actor Brad Pitt, Nicki ensures critics that she is of icon status and has been 'running this game for five years' and if you didn't know then do your 'f--king research.'
With lyrics like "They could never reach young Nick magnitude even if they had the longitude, latitude. Listen up hoe this my territory. You are my son like a episode of Maury," the first lady of Young Money knows she's untouchable in the rap game but she seems to never take that for granted. As she prepares for the release of her next studio album The Pink Print, she's developed a clever technique to release project after project in order to keep her fan base and critics constantly engaged but better yet entertained.

Young Money native Drake has literally gone from 0 to 100 real quick! The powerhouse rapper recently confirmed his latest project to Billboard on July 15 which is the title of his fourth studio album - Views From The 6. 
Although it is unclear what the '6' really means in the album title, it is rumored to be a hometown shoutout to his city of Toronto, Canada. Hint hint . . the city's two most common area codes are 416 and 647.
According to Billboard, Drake hasn't even begun to start putting down hard-hitting tracks in the studio for his upcoming album. It must be great to know that even with just a reveal of an album title, Young Champagne Papi can still easily stir up his fan base and better yet his competition too.
Even though his upcoming album announcement comes as huge news, Drake is still dedicating his time to help promote his OVO Sound artists Majid Jordan and PARTYNEXTDOOR as they are set to release projects of their own.
Since one can only dream of what fire Drake is about to cook up in the studio, we'll just have to settle for his glorious presence on the stage and the TV screen in the meanwhile. Be sure to check him out tonight as he hosts the 2014 ESPY's Awards at 9pm on ESPN.
