"I love my son. He mean the world to me," Cash Money honcho says in new interview
Birdman expressed sadness over his
ongoing feud with Lil Wayne in
a preview for an upcoming tell-all interview with Power 105.1's Angie
Martinez. The Cash Money honcho said Wayne's screed against him and the
label "was shocking to everybody. I never thought Mula [Wayne] would be
saying nothing negative about me, ever.
"So that man open his mouth and say something negative about me, that
was a lot — that shit fucked my day up," Birdman continued. "I love my
son. He mean the world to me. For that man to say something negative
about me, that affected my life."
Birdman and Lil Wayne have been going at each other since the latter took to
Twitter last December to blast his mentor and label, Cash Money, for withholding his long-awaited LP,
Tha Carter V. Wayne then
sued Cash Money for $51 million,
demanding he be dropped from the label and be named joint copyright
holder of all the music released on his Young Money imprint,
including recordings by Drake and Nicki Minaj.
In his interview with Martinez, Birdman addressed the rumors that
should Wayne leave, Cash Money would also lose the Young Money roster:
"No," Birdman said. "You're just listening to what they say." He added:
"Nicki and Drake ain't going nowhere, regardless."
Martinez's full interview with Birdman is scheduled to air Tuesday at 4 p.m. on
Power 105.1.
The Cash Money honcho will also reportedly discuss whether he'll let
Lil Wayne walk away from Cash Money, if it was him who threw a drink at
the rapper during a performance in Miami and if he and Young Thug
orchestrated an alleged shooting against Weezy.
Neither Birdman nor Young Thug are facing any charges for the incident, which
took place in April, but
both were named in a recent indictment of
Jimmy Carlton Winfrey, an associate who worked as a tour manager for
Young Thug. The State of Georgia slapped Winfrey with 30 counts,
including aggravated assault, claiming he raced up alongside Lil Wayne's
two tour buses, opened fire and subsequently attempted to hide the
Camaro he was driving.
Amidst all the courtroom drama, Wayne and Birdman's spat took another public turn when
Weezy joined the Jay Z-helmed streaming service Tidal where he
dropped a new mixtape,
Free Weezy Album.
Cash Money then sued Tidal for
$50 million, claiming they own the exclusive rights to Wayne's music
and the rapper's contract stipulates he cannot license his music to
anyone else.
