It Gets Worse, #LilWayne is Now Suing #Birdman & Cash Money for $51 Million #IntheNews

2009 BET Awards - Show
This YMCMB collapse has gone from bad to worse at a crazy fast pace. Just little over a week after releasing his Sorry 4 The Wait 2 mixtape, which in summary was just a diss tape to Birdman, Weezy is now gearing up for legal action.
Previously, Wayne claimed he was owed an $8 million advance for recording Tha Carter V, but now details have surfaced that he was to receive $2 million upon completion.  He has yet to receive any of that money.
Details from the lawsuit reveal that Wayne wants out of his Cash Money contract and he wants to take his Young Money imprint that he built with him which would include artists like Drake and Nicki Minaj.
How the mighty have fallen, I would’ve never thought this would be how Young Money / Cash Money would end up especially since it’s home to two of Hip Hop’s biggest acts. It’s not surprising though, Birdman has a long history of this happening for over a decade with the likes of BG, Many Fresh and of course Juvenile.
Never thought it would happen to the franchise player though.

#LeBronJames Responds To Speculators Saying He Said He Was Coming Back To Miami……..oh and he’s injured for 2 weeks


lebron
LeBron James is out for two weeks and on the injury list in order to heal some back and knee issues. Specifically, his left knee and issues with a lower back strains. Some former Miami-based LeBron fans might be in love with any misery James may suffer, but most of us will never want to see one of the game’s best of all time fall to injury or hardship especially during the peak of their career.
With that said, LeBron was on some hot water for some words he said to Dwyane Wade ♫ #aboutaweekago ♫ during the Heat vs. Cavs Christmas game. Internet hypebeasts and LeBron critics jumped on the possibility that LeBron might have told something to Dwyane in the extent of reuniting back in Miami. Anyone with healthy brain with common sense could already know this story was bullshit.

Delano South Beach rang in 2015 with lavish style Wednesday evening at their poolside oasis Delano Beach Club where Roc Nation artist J. Cole took to the stage and graced the crowd with an epic midnight performance featuring hits “Work Out” and “Power Trip.” Taraji Henson was spotted with her posse of girls, snapping selfies in their cabana. Cleveland Brown’s quarterback Johnny Manziel was also in attendance sipping champagne with New York Giants star wide receiver Victor Cruz and teammate Kevin Ogletree.
Following the Poolside soiree, the event headed downstairs to Delano’s subterranean lounge FDR where J. Cole hosted an eventful, sold-out after party. R&B star Ne-Yo made quite an entrance, walking in with a massive entourage and later spotted in the crowd taking photos with revelers. Miami HEAT b-ballers Mario Chalmers and Luol Deng we’re also in attendance to help kick the New Year off with a bang at Delano South Beach. YesJulz was also in attendance.
