[Lil Wayne’s Young Money Label Sued By Two More Producers For Unpaid Royalties
Like we told you, Lil Wayne likes paying producers about as much he likes NYC.*Two beatsmiths—DJ Infamous and Drew Correa—are suing the New Orleans rapper’s Young Money Entertainment label for unpaid royalties, reports TMZ.

Two different producers –*Andrews “Drew” Correa*and*Marcos “Infamous” Rodriguez*– filed federal lawsuits this week against Wayne’s label,*Young Money Entertainment.*

In lawsuit #1 … Correa says he inked a deal with YME in 2008 to produce music for a YME artist. He claims that music ended up on mega albums like “Carter III,” “Re-Birth,” “I’m Not a Human Being” and “Priceless.”*

Correa says he was paid some*royalties*by YME, but the payments stopped coming out of the blue.

In lawsuit #2 … Rodriguez claims he signed on in 2007 to produce music for YME and claims his compositions were used on the albums “Carter III,” “Re-Birth,” “We Are Young Money,” “Carter IV” and “Priceless.”

He claims YME stopped making royalty payments and refuses to cough up any more cash.

One track in particular that Drew Correa and DJ Infamous produced was “Mr. Carter,” which features Jay-Z, from Tunechi’s Tha Carter III album. A couple more songs produced jointly by the pair include “Prom Queen” and “I Am Not a Human Being.” Both producers hired*Singh, Singh & Trauben, LLP as counsel to try and get their money.

Unfortunately this lawsuit is nothing new to the YMCMB camp who have a chronic history of not paying its producers. In 2011, producers Deezle and Bangladesh, signed separate royalties seeking payments for contributions to The Carter III.

It’s not like money is too tight in the Cash Money empire. Founder Ronald “Slim” Williams just purchased the biggest mansion in South Florida for $17.5 million, via an all cash transaction./QUOTE]

Either this is the beginning of the end for YMCMB OR Producers that sign with YMCMB are just too stupid to read that part of the contract where it says "We retain the right to stop paying you at any moment" :heh: :birdman:

I can just imagine how Birdman's meetings with his YME accountants and lawyers go.

Accountant: Mr. Birdman, the producers' checks for the month are ready to be sent out.

**Birdman randomly grabs a handful of envelopes from the accountants' hands, walks over to the window and throws them in the bushes.**

Birdman: Now they're ready to be sent out :birdman:

Lawyers::myman::heh::russ::bryan::

**3 weeks later**

Producers: :to::sadbron::sadcam:
