BIRDMAN SUING JAY Z’S TIDAL FOR $50 MILLION OVER LIL WAYNE’S “FREE WEEZY ALBUM”

Lil Wayne’s adoptive father and former label boss Birdman is suing Jay Z’s music streaming service Tidal for $50 million, according to TMZ. 

Birdman’s Cash Money Records filed the lawsuit which claims that Tidal is illegally using Wayne’s songs, which it says it has exclusive rights to. 

According to TMZ, the lawsuit says TIDAL’s release of the music was “a desperate and illegal attempt to save their struggling streaming service.” 
The streaming service, however, responded to the claims by saying that Lil Wayne gave it the rights to the music in exchange for an ownership stake in the company. 

Cash Money countered by quoting its contract with Lil Wayne, saying he can not license his music to other parties. Lil Wayne signed with TIDAL last month.
