Lil Wayne Sues Universal Music Group For Unpaid Royalties | Drake, Nicki Minaj & Tyga

“With Universal’s knowledge of Lil Wayne’s rights to partial ownership and profits from those artists, Universal and Cash Money entered into a series of agreements which, among other things, diverted Lil Wayne’s substantial profits to repay debts of Cash Money,” states the complaint. “As a result, 100% of the profits that should have been paid to Lil Wayne as a result of his ownership of Drake, Nicki Minaj and Tyga records have been seized by Universal to repay debts that were neither incurred by nor were the obligations of Lil Wayne.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lil Wayne is suing for $40 million in damages in the lawsuit. And for what it’s worth, this lawsuit is entirely different from the $51 million Wayne is suing Birdman & Cash Money.
