In this latest bout of frustration with his label, Weezy took Cash Money to court. He is suing for $51 million for royalties and back pay.
Drake who is affiliated with Cash Money and Young Money has partnered with Apple to launch his next album. "Focus on your body of work," Drake said. "Instead of having to post your stuff on these different and sometimes confusing places, it's all in one place: Connect."
Weezy has also address concerns about Drake and Nicki Minaj leaving both labels because of incompetent management by Birdman and their feud with ex-labelmate Tyga.
Drake and Nicki both have frustrations with Birdman and Tyga.
They have subliminally diss them on albums.
Drake has signaled his intentions to jump ship. He released his fourth album through Apple without acknowledgement from Young Money or Cash Money. His fifth album which may be dropped on a surprise date could signal the end of Drake's run with the labels.
Tyga also released his long delayed album. The Gold Album 18th Dynasty was released quietly on June 23 with very few features. Notable features include Weezy and Boozie Badazz. This release is considered Tyga's official departure from Cash Money and Young Money.
Is Cash Money Records too big to fail?
