Cash Money boss Birdman is dragging Hip-Hop stalwart Jay-Z to court over streaming Lil Wayne songs illegally on Tidal.
According to TMZ.com, Birdman is slapping 50 million dollars fine on the 'Empire State of Mind' hitmaker after claiming that they have exclusive rights to Wayne's music and Tidal is an illegal intermeddler.
According to the lawsuit, Tidal has claimed Cash Money does not have an exclusive lock on Wayne and has also claimed that Wayne specifically gave it the right to stream his music, in return for part ownership in the company.
However, Cash Money begs to differ, and the company quotes portions of its contract with Wayne in the lawsuit where it is specifically mentioned that Wayne does not have the power to license his music to anyone else.
