Hot New 'Tha Carter V' Album Release 2015: Lil Wayne Now Working on 'Dedication 6' Mixtape With DJ Drama, YMCMB President Mack Maine? [Pics]
It looks like Lil Wayne might drop his second mixtape of the year, "Dedication 6," following the release of his much-delayed "Tha Carter V" album. It has not even been two weeks since the New Orleans emcee unveiled his "Sorry 4 the Wait 2" LP, but he is apparently on to the next one already.
DJ Drama, who previously collaborated on the second installment of Weezy's "Dedication" mixtape series, took to his Instagram account on Feb. 2 to tease their latest project with a caption suggesting the title.
"Sorry For The Wait 2. Carter V. Dedication 6," the Philly artist wrote accompanying the image that sees himself, Wayne and Young Money president Mack Maine.
Meanwhile, the "Grindin'" rapper has filed a lawsuit against Cash Money and its CEO Birdman, accusing of withholding millions of dollars in advances for "Tha Carter V."
"Cash Money has not provided Carter with any contractual or statutory basis for failing to pay the balance of the advance of 'Tha Carter V' and has given no assurances that it willnot similarly refuse to pay Carter ... advances due to him for two other albums he's contracted to record," the Manhattan federal court lawsuit states according to Page Six.
As a result, Wayne is now suing for $51 million and asking a judge to end his contract with Baby's label, according to TMZ. He is also seeking a court order declaring himself the joint copyright holder of all recordings from Young Money artists, including Drake, Nicki Minaj and several others.
Sources close to Lil Tunechi told the publication that his highly anticipated record would be released, only if he gets paid. The "Believe Me" hitmaker claims that he was promised an $8 million advance when he began recording back in December 2013, and another $2 million after the album was completed a year later. He reportedly said he would just walk out if Cash Money refuses to pay him. Not only that, he plans to take all his Young Money protégées with him when he parts ways with the label.
Lil Wayne's "Dedication" mixtape series dates back to 2005. His most recent "Dedication 5," which featured The Weekend, T.I., Future, Baby, 2 Chainz and more, was released back in Sept. 2013.
