Asides from the fact that they had money issues, no one really knows what triggered the whole Lil Wayne and Baby beef. Wayne is currently on a "Fuck Cash Money" stint, and it is still shocking to me cos of how close he and Baby were. I mean, the man practically adopted Wayne when he signed him to Cash Money at 13 years old. Wayne is meant to be like the heir to the throne. So, what happened to make family members disagree to the point where they can't patch things up?
Just last month, I cut of the oldest friend I have on this earth, so I know no friendship lasts forever; but still, this whole war in the Cash Money empire baffles me. Wayne practically grew up in Cash Money studios, and when everyone left after the fall of the label (around the early 2000s), Baby kept investing his time and money in Wayne. And eventually, Wayne turned around and made millions for the company...virtually carrying the company on his back. And even going on to sign Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Tyga to his Young Money imprint, which raised Cash Money to new heights in the music industry. So, why would money come between this father and son?
Well, on second thought, what could come between father and son if not money, or a woman. We know the first element is there, but some people are making some allegations that Wayne got pissed with Baby when Young Thug came into the picture. People are painting a picture of Young Thug being Baby's new lover...assuming Wayne and Baby were gay lovers. Of course, all that's just rumor anyway.
Right now, I just wonder how they handle business side of things. Lil Wayne is meant to have dropped his Tha Carter 5 album since last year, but because of the whole internal beef thing, the label has put that on hold. And worse, they are planning to release Young Thug's new album, titled Carter 6. Hmm! This is definitely a swipe at Wayne. They are trying to hurt his legacy with this move. Not fair, if you ask me.
I wonder what will happen to the artists under Young Money...Tyga, Nicki, Drake, and the likes...will they go with Wayne when he eventually leaves Cash Money, or will they be held down at Cash Money, contractually? Hmm!
