LIL WAYNE TO SUE JAY Z FOR RELEASING 'FREE WEEZY ALBUM'

Lil Wayne's label sues Jay Z and Tidal for £30 million for releasing 'Free Weezy Album'

 

Lil Wayne's record label Cash Money has filed a $50 million (£30 million) lawsuit against Jay-Z's Tidal music streaming service after the company releasing a new mixtape from the artist for free.

Tidal exclusively released Wayne's 'Free Weezy Album' earlier this month, with the move being criticised by Cash Money for what they see as "a desperate and illegal attempt to save their struggling streaming service."

Cash Money, which has been Wayne's home since 1996, have claimed exclusive rights to the rapper's music. They claim their contract with the rapper prevents him from licensing his music without their permission.

According to TMZ, Tidal have defended themselves by claiming they secured permission for the album from the artist himself in exchange for partial ownership of the company.

Lil Wayne has been embroiled in a public dispute with the imprint recently, repeatedly attempting to split from the label.

The rapper also included a sketch of Tupac with his letter:

Eminem's label Shady Record has confirmed that both the touching letter and sketch are genuine, having been previously used in a commemorative biography ‘Tupac Remembered’.
