  • Birdman Misses Lil Wayne on Instagram, Wants to Save Young Money

    It's been shocking to watch father-son relationship between Birdman and Lil Wayne collapse right before our eyes, especially with such vitriol. It started with a few tweets from Wayne pleading for his freedom from the Cash Money "prison." Those tweets soon turned into a $51 million lawsuit against the label and its CEO Birdman, which, as of now, still hasn't been resolved. Somehow, things got even worse after the lawsuit as a recent indictment naming Birdman as a co-conspirator, along with Young Thug, in a plot to shoot up Wayne's tour bus. Today, finally, it seems Birdman has given his first apology to Wayne -- or, at least, his first attempt at reconciliation.

    A new indictment has revealed more (alleged) details of the April shooting at Lil Wayne's tour bus in Atlanta. Former Rich Gang affiliate Jimmy Winfrey, aka PeeWee Roscoe, is currently incarcerated for the bus shooting and he's now been charged with "terroristic threats" for allegedly telling Wayne he'd "spray his bus." An indictment last month named Birdman and Young Thug as co-conspirators in the plot to kill Wayne, though neither man has yet been charged.

  • Birdman Has Replaced Lil Wayne's Young Money with "Cash Money Rich Gang"

    Though Birdman insisted it was all love with Lil Wayne, his "son," in his recent interview with Angie Martinez, it now seems a breakup is imminent. The above Instagram picture from the Cash Money boss signals a distancing from Wayne's Young Money brand, which, as of now -- until their lawsuit is over with, still belongs to Birdman.

  • Biggest Contracts in Music History: Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Michael Jackson and More

    Stevie Wonder struck it rich 40 years ago on this day when he signed what was, at that point in history, the most lucrative music contract ever: $13 million for seven years and seven albums for Motown/Tamla Records. Granted, things have gotten bigger in the four decades since—both in terms of payouts and inflation rates. Here are the five biggest contracts signed in music history, not adjusted for inflation. Understand that many of these deals won't ever be surpassed due to the increasingly smaller likelihood that a performer or band will sign for such lengthy periods. Jay Z, Lil Wayne and more cash in.
