Rapper Lil Wayne says he wants off Cash Money Records and likens his record contract to a prison sentence.
Assuming youve been following hip-hop music since the late 1990s, youll remember a scrawny, nasally rapper based out of New Orleans who couldnt help but scream Cash Money every time he saw a television camera.
Much hasnt changed over the past decade plus as Lil Wayne is still scrawny and nasally, though the pockets of the Fireman rapper are much heavier and his influence in the rap game can not be denied. Hes also apparently no longer feeling the love towards Cash Money Records either as the only musical home to Lil Wayne has apparently frustrated the hip hop icon enough to liken his record contract to a prison sentence.
I want off this label and nothing to do with these people but unfortunately it aint that easy, Wayne stated. I am a prisoner and so is my creativity. Again, I am truly sorry and I dont blame ya if ya fed up with waiting for me and this album. But thank you.
Its bit of an odd situation considering as a teenager, Lil Wayne was essentially raised by Cash Money Records co-owner Brian Baby Williams and has routinely suggested Williams to be a father figure. Now all of a sudden, Wayne, who owns a parent company on the label, Young Money, wants to rid himself of those who made him who he is today.
Many have wondered if its nothing more than a publicity stunt in effort to drive up sales for Waynes potential album.
Despite his popularity, Waynes recent releases havent exactly been impressive in terms of sales relative to his popularity. Perhaps that could also be behind Waynes frustration as hes looking for more promotion and financial backing from a larger record company.
Either way, its certainly an odd situation and one to keep an eye closely on if youre fan of Weezy or Cash Money Records.
