Lil’ Wayne’s ongoing struggle with Cash Money Records is well documented. The label who signed him, and namely Birdman, has refused to release Weezy’s Carter 5 album for reasons unknown. In response, an ongoing legal dispute between Wayne and Birdman has left both sides at a standstill.
Wayne has responded by proclaiming “Fuck Cash Money!” at many of his live performances.
This was exactly what happened last night when Drake brought out his mentor during a tour stop in Houston and Wayne addressed the crowd on his way out. "Houston, Texas, before I leave y'all, I want to say I know I'll always have a home at Rap-A-Lot Records, and y'all know they're fucking me over right now. So before I go, I leave you with these kinds words: Fuck Cash Money," he said.
The unfortunate situation has even led many to believe that Weezy might be looking to retire from the rap game. Following his appearance on Sunday night, a number of notable artists have taken to social media to show their support. Namely, Drake, Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, and Juicy J all expressed some thoughts on one of the greatest rappers to ever touch a mic. Check out the responses below.
