Lil Wayne receives big payout from Universal
  • 6 years ago
Lil Wayne has reportedly received a payout "well over $10 million" as a settlement of his legal battle against Birdman, Cash Money Records and Universal Music Group.
The 35-year-old rapper filed a lawsuit demanding Cash Money pay him a reported $51 million in 2015, claiming the CEO, fellow rapper Birdman, owed him millions of dollars for his album 'Tha Carter V'.
And according to documents obtained by The Blast, the 'Sucker for Pain' hitmaker - whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. - came away triumphant after his lawyer, Howard King, filed papers on May 23, bringing an end to the three-year case.
