Nicki Minaj Gets Together With Drake & Lil Wayne
The Young Money Big 3 reunites.
Nicki Minaj shared a pair of pictures to her Instagram Wednesday morning. The first, a selfie with Drake (Drake took the selfie). The second, a posed photo with her, Drake, and Lil Wayne. The Young Money Big Three! They seem very happy.
Lil Wayne hinted at new music with Minaj and Drake during an interview with ESPN earlier this month. "I got my key players, I got my Nickis, I got my Drizzys, so we’re gonna be alright."
The purpose of the trio's most recent get together, though Minaj tagged Young Money president Mack Maine, suggesting that it was for official business/scheming.

NEWS: Lil Wayne Partners With Royalty Collections Company
Lil Wayne Partners With Royalty Collections Company
Lil Wayne is bringing in Kobalt Neighbouring Rights to ensure he gets his royalty checks.
A complaint many rappers have had about Cash Money is that they don't see many of their royalty checks. We know Lil Wayne isn't exactly thrilled with the label these days, and while he's yet to work out his issues with Birdman, he's taking things into his own hands when it comes to getting what's owed him.
It's being reported that Weezy is partnering with Kobalt Neighbouring Rights, a company that collects the royalties of tha artists it represents, which include the likes of Kid Cudi, Sam Smith, Busta Rhymes, Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars, Noah “40” Shebib and DJ Premier.
As far as how Kobalt collects royalties for its clients, the company describes its services on its website.
Kobalt’s powerful tracking system compares collection against detailed in-house expectations to ensure all income is correctly accounted. Kobalt develops these detailed expectations from 3rd party performance data, Territory expectations from Kobalt’s pre-distribution health check, as well as from the client’s income data. Combining these three data sources allows us to monitor collection and ensures all income is received.
Wayne is still suing his label for tens of millions of dollars, but this new deal should ensure he doesn't lose any money in the meantime. He's said to be releasing the FWA (Free Weezy Album) later this year.

NEWS: Lil Wayne To Release "Free Weezy Album" In April?
Lil Wayne To Release "Free Weezy Album" In April?
At his pool party over the weekend, Lil Wayne apparently hinted that the "Free Weezy Album" would drop next month.
On Saturday, Lil Wayne performed at a low-key pool party in Miami, and though not initially reported, it seems as if he dropped some hints about the Free Weezy Album's release date. According to Red Bull, the company that sponsored the "Guest House" performance, Weezy said his album would be dropping next month.
In their words, "During his short set, [Wayne] mentioned that next month he will release his mysterious Free Weezy Album." As this release seems to be unconnected to Cash Money, we'd expect Weezy to have more control over release dates, but still, this isn't confirmed. Do you expect this to drop when Wayne says it will?

NEWS: Nicki Minaj Felt Disrespected By Tyga Over "Truffle Butter" Leak, Is Banking On Lil Wayne & Birdman Working Things Out
Nicki Minaj Felt Disrespected By Tyga Over "Truffle Butter" Leak, Is Banking On Lil Wayne & Birdman Working Things Out
Nicki Minaj opens up about the recent Cash Money drama in an interview with BBC Radio 1 Xtra's Charlie Sloth.
There's a whole lot of drama going on at Cash Money these days, but for the most part, there's only a couple of major figures we've heard from directly. Lil Wayne and Tyga have made their feelings clear, but artists like Nicki Minaj and Drake have been less clear about taking sides (though conspiracy theories suggest Drizzy's whole new tape could be read as a middle finger to Birdman). In an interview with BBC Radio 1 Xtra's Charlie Sloth today, Nicki spoke a bit about the situation, and it seems like she'll be letting things play out for the meantime.
"I don't think it'll ever get to that point," Minaj said of whether she would leave the label with Wayne. “People know I love Wayne and I have loyalty towards him, but I love Baby too. I’m very close with Baby and I don’t think people know that. So I’m banking on the fact that they’re going to work this out like family. I mean, they’ve gone through things before, just like family does. I’m not even going to think that way".
The subject later turned to Tyga, who publicly bashed Minaj on Twitter, which Nicki revealed was over her song, "Truffle Butter"."The song was on my album, and *we don't know how* but it magically ended up in Tyga's hands, and I told him 'that's my song'," she said. "I told him me and Drake were going to be on it, and low and behold, it leaked with him on it after I told him not to put it out. I thought that was a little bit disrespectful because I had always shown him love."
The two have since worked things out according to the Pinkprint rapper. "He texted me later, and he apologized, and he said 'you always were there for me' and I respected him for saying that," she shared.
The leak certainly didn't hurt the song's radio play, which is strong enough that Nicki isn't even planning a video. "Truffle Butter" is the #1 Urban/Rhythmic song in America without a video, so it's like when a song is that successful without a video, I don't know if we need one," she explained. "It was just for the streets, for the love, we weren't really gonna shoot a video to be honest."

NEWS: Juvenile Shares His Thoughts On Birdman/Lil Wayne Situation
Juvenile Shares His Thoughts On Birdman/Lil Wayne Situation
Juvenile gives his perspective on the rift between Young Money and Cash Money.
This past October, Juvenile returned to the label he was raised on by inking a deal with Cash Money. A few months later, the turmoil began between Lil Wayne and Birdman, and by extension, Young Money and Cash Money. Weezy has since sued Birdman for a hefty sum, and it doesn't seem like a resolution between the former partners will happen any time soon. Unfortunately, that means that quite a few artists on their roster are stuck in the middle.
We sat down with Juvenile recently while he was promoting his upcoming Mardi Gras II tape, and he shared his vantage point on the situation.
"From my standpoint, business is great with Cash Money, cause you know we did some good business in order for me to be signed back [on the label]. I got a good deal," he told us. "Is the relationship hurting me with what's going on between Wayne and Baby? A little bit in the sense of I wish it wasn't happening, I wish this wasn't going on, that's what really hurts me."
He continued, "But yeah, me being back with Cash Money one of the things was to work with Drake, Nicki Minaj and people like that, who wouldn't wanna be able to do that? And there's really no bad blood me with no side. I really feel like when it's family you stay outta it. I think it's something they gotta resolve. As far as the business, as far as me, with Cash Money, I feel it's great though."
We also asked about the situation between Juvie and Mannie Fresh, once a hit-making duo. The two are working together again, and expect one such collaboration to appear on the Mardi Gras II tape. "I just recorded a song with Mannie, I don't wanna say everything that I got going on, but I'ma leak this out the bag, Mannie Fresh is on Mardi Gras 2. Me and Mannie and I never had issues. He stayed at Cash Money when I left-- that's probably the only issue we ever had, cause I was tryna get answers to my questions and Mannie was one of the people that couldn't answer them. But it was never a friction where I had a problem with him."
Mardi Gras II drops March 26th. Watch the full Juvie interview below, where he also reflects on 400 Degreez.

NEWS: Rap-A-Lot Records' CEO Threatens Puff Daddy, Suge Knight, Lil Wayne & Birdman
Rap-A-Lot Records' CEO Threatens Puff Daddy, Suge Knight, Lil Wayne & Birdman
James Prince unleashes his own diss track, aimed at Drake's detractors.
Drake and Puff Daddy's Miami feud may still be unresolved.
Two months ago, Puff reportedly punched Drake outside of Club LIV in Miami, after the two attended a birthday party for DJ Khaled. The altercation allegedly began over Drake's usage of the Boi-1da produced track, "0 to 100."
Now, TMZ has obtained a diss record from Rap-A-Lot Records CEO James Prince. The audio is only a minute-and-a-half long but Drake's supposed mentor makes some serious threats towards Puffy and Suge Knight, who are on his "radar."
"So let me put these bully niggas on notice by letting them know Drizzy is family," he says during the beginning of the track. "Puffy feeling like he can put his hands on my family, open the doors for his family to be touched. You reap what you sow."
As for Suge, Prince tells the former Death Row Records founder to be aware that he's "riding with Drake."
"I'm your worst nightmare," he says.
Then, Prince continues to air-out Lil Wayne, his manager Cortez Bryant, and his lawyer.
The verbal assault ends with a warning to Baby and Slim to make sure they pay Drake.
"I'm not gon' lip wrestle with you niggas," Prince says at the end of the audio, "but if any of you clowns cross me or my family, bad news gonna beat you home."'
TMZ is calling the rant "courtesy call." It's unclear, at the moment, how they captured the "call" or when it was initially recorded.

Young Money Cypher & Interview Coming Soon?
A YMCMB cypher and interview maybe coming soon.
Yesterday photos surfaced online of Lil Wayne and his fellow YMCMB crew on the set of some sort of video shoot alongside frequent business partner Karen Civil. While it was unknown at the time what they we’re shooting, HHNM is reporting today that an exclusive cypher and interview is on the way.
According to reports, CivilTV will be directing this upcoming cypher and interview, which will presumably touch on the current status of YMCMB and their recent label woes. By the looks of the pictures, fans can expect to hear Weezy, Mack Maine, Gudda Gudda, Lil Twist, Cory Gunz and Flow all allegedly take turns on the mic. Unfortunately, there were no Drake or Nicki sightings in the pics, but you never know what could be up their sleeves.
Until we get further news or actual confirmation on this possible cypher & interview, be sure to check out Drizzy’s new surprise mixtape, If Youre Reading This Its Too Late. (Don’t forget Weezy’s Free Album is on the way too y’all.)

10 Canadian Labels That Should Sign Lil Wayne
10 Canadian Labels That Should Sign Lil Wayne
It’s no secret that Lil Wayne and Birdman’s relationship has seen better days. After spending nearly two decades as Cash Money’s cash cow, Lil Wayne took to Twitter to let his fans know that he wants off the label. Since the falling out in December, the hip-hop rumor mill has been churning non-stop, with a hoax suggesting that that Birdman sold ’s Wayne’s contract to Jay Z for $50 million, and speculation that Master P may be interested in signing him to No Limit Records.
If all else fails, Lil Wayne could head north and find open arms at any number of our iconic labels. Here are ten Canadian record companies we think should buy out Wayne’s contract, and sign the best rapper alive.
1. Arts & Crafts
Established: 2003, Toronto, ON
Roster: Broken Social Scene, Feist, Timber Timbre
Website: arts-crafts.ca
Lil Wayne would feel right at home in Toronto’s go-to art rock collective. Just trade bass-heavy, sample-driven hip-hop production for a thousand layered guitars all strumming the same note. Put a guitar in Weezy’s hands, and he’d be happy as a clam marathon jamming with Kevin Drew, until the inevitable falling out when Wayne tells Emily Haines that she “acts like she needs dick in her life.”
2. 604 Records
Established: 2002, Vancouver, BC
Roster: Mariana’s Trench, Theory Of A Deadman, Faber Drive
Website: 604records.com
As a part of 604 Records, Wayne can swap out the Birdman hand-rub for the Chad Kroeger power-thrust. With the frontman of Nickelback as his label boss, Weezy stands a real chance at breaking through to the sought after mainstream rock audience he failed to ensnare with the nu-nu-metal abomination Rebirth. Wayne would probably also be required to grow a goatee and wear Ed Hardy exclusively, in keeping with the strict style guidelines at 604.
3. Last Gang
Established: 2003, Toronto, ON
Roster: Purity Ring, Ryan Hemsworth, Death From Above 1979
Website: lastgangentertainment.com
As far as non genre-specific labels go in Canada, Last Gang is the illest of the ill. Their artist roster reads like the production credits for our dream Wayne record. Ryan Hemsworth, Corin Rodick, and Egyptrixx are all Canadian producers who could singlehandedly save Wayne’s career. If they tossed Weezy a couple of beats each, it would change rap, nay, the world, forever.
4. Telephone Explosion
Established: 2007, Toronto, ON
Roster: Teenanger, Actual Water, Soupcans
Website: telephoneexplosion.com
If Lil Wayne ever wants to release a split 7” with Ty Segall, Telephone Explosion might be his best bet. Teenanger bandmates Jon Schouten and Steve Sidoli have released a metric ton of wax for viscerally exciting bands in the weirdo-punk sphere under the Telephone Explosion banner. It’s safe to assume that they would be extremely psyched to make a grunge-hop record with Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.
5. Profound Lore Records
Established: 2004, New Hamburg, ON
Roster: Krallice, Asunder, Pallbearer
Website: profoundlorerecords.com
This Canadian metal mainstay started as a hobby among friends in the small town of New Hamburg, Ontario, but has evolved into a full-time gig for founder Chris Bruni, who routinely brings the most brutal metal releases to Canadians as both a label and a distro. I doubt Lil Wayne knows what doom metal is, but when he finally hears it, just imagine how good Tha Carter 666 is going to be. Hail Wayne.
6. Mint Records
Established: 1991, Vancouver, BC
Roster: cub, Pick A Piper, The Evaporators
Website: mintrecords.com
If only for the fact that we want to see Wayne interact with Nardwuar more often.
7. Six Shooter Records
Established: 2000, Toronto, ON
Roster: Whitehorse, Justin Rutledge, Luke Doucet
Website: sixshooterrecords.com
Weezy F baby, and the F is for folk. This Toronto label definitely favours ramblin’ acoustic ditties, but there are some outliers, including Polaris-winning Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq. If she gave Wayne some pointers, he might finally be able to ditch the autotune. And if you add a little pedal-steel to “I Feel Like Dying”? Divine.
8. G7 Welcoming Committee
Established: 1997, Winnipeg, MB
Roster: Propagandi, The Weakerthans, Noam Chomsky
Website: g7welcomingcommittee.com
With the inception of G7 Welcoming Committee, label founders Chris Hannah and Jord Samolesky hoped to “create a label that politically radical bands and speakers could unflinchingly support and call home.” The label is on indefinite hiatus, but an album of protest songs by Lil Wayne just might be the only thing that could get them back in the game. There’s just one catch: like G7’s founders, Wayne might have to go vegan. That should be no problem—as we all know, Tunechi is already a militant vegetarian, because he “only eats beats.” H'yuck.
9. Battle Axe Records
Established: 1999, Vancouver, BC
Roster: Swollen Members, Slaine, Rob The Viking
Website: battleaxewarriors.com
‘Cause Swollen always brings it home. Swollen Members (along with frequent collaborator Moka Only) were the defining sound of Canadian rap between the years 2000-2002 B.D. (Before Drake), and they’ve maintained a loyal following ever since, through their own Battleaxe Warriors movement. Battle Axe would be a perfect Canadian home for Lil Wayne, but based on Mad Child’s one-time Hell’s Angels affiliation, this label could be blood in, blood out. Your call, Wayne.
10. OVO Sound
Established: 2012, Toronto, ON
Roster: ILoveMakonnen, PartyNextDoor, OB O’Brien
Website: ovosound.com
The teacher becomes the student, a tale as old as time. Drake signs to Wayne, Wayne signs to Drake, thus completing the record label Ouroboros and causing a wormhole that swallows us all.
