Lil Wayne on Cash Money: "I Want Off This Label"

If it seems like Lil Wayne's upcoming album, Tha Carter V, has gotten caught in a holding pattern, that's because the rapper says it is. In a series of tweets, Weezy criticized Cash Money – the label that has released all of his albums and is home to the Young Money imprint he founded – likening his contract to a prison sentence.

"To all my fans, I want you to know that my album won't and hasn't been released bekuz [label co-founder] Baby and Cash Money Records refuse to release it," he wrote. "This is not my fault. I am truly and deeply sorry to all my fans but most of all to myself and my family for putting us in this situation.

"I want off this label and nothing to do with these people but unfortunately it ain't that easy," he continued. "I am a prisoner and so is my creativity. Again, I am truly sorry and I don't blame ya if ya fed up with waiting for me and this album. But thank you."

A Cash Money representative did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

In March, MTV reported that Tha Carter V, which Wayne called his "final solo album," would come out that May. Around the time the record was supposed to come out, he put out "Grindin'," a track featuring Drake. With the album unreleased, Wayne and Drake then embarked on a co-headlining summer tour, debuting the single live. In August, Wayne released a video for another new song, "Krazy," with the album expected to come out in late October.

Just before Halloween, Wayne released another new song, "Gotti," featuring the Lox, and Billboard reported that Tha Carter V would then be released in two parts, the first of which would come out December 9th. "I recorded so many songs," Wayne said at the time. "I got too many songs. I worked way too much to give y'all half of it. If I would've dropped the album today, it would have to be 12 or 13 songs. I refuse to cheat my fans. I refuse to cheat myself."

At present, the leaderboard on Cash Money's website says the album is "coming soon."

Saw this on Twitter. Wild.

I think it's all a publicity stunt because Wayne just doesn't have the music to sell Tha Carter V. Nigga has been on the label forever, if anything he has WAY more freedom now than he ever did & now he's complaining about it?

Son's complaining about "creative space"; niggas let him make an entire Rock N' Roll album lmao.

Birman really seems to be focused solely on Rich Gang these days though.

LMAO at Pusha T, "rubbing their hands in your videos" hahaha

and kendrick took his spot

I thought it could be a publicity stunt too but he really has been announcing release dates for a long time now for Carter V and there's been 3 singles that didn't take off except "Believe Me" which was basically Drake's record

[Black Excellence]

kendrick took nothing lol



anyways Wayne is finally seeing that Birdman is just a fair weather friend to him.  Now you see Birdman spending 24/7 with Young Thug because Thug (somehow) is a big name.  That's why Birdman stabs everyone in the back like it's nothing....i.e. not paying Mannie Fresh, having Yella Boy from UNLV murdered etc.

Birdman owns 110% of all his artists' catalogs, Drake might be the only exception where he only owns part and that's why you see Drake making his own moves/signing his own guys

and Birdman doesn't pay anybody either.  Look at what he did to Wendy Day after she got him rich in the first place.
