(AllHipHop News) Lil Wayne and Young Money/Cash Money Records have a long history of not paying artists, but this is a first. Today (April 30th), Young Money teen rap group W3 The Future filed a lawsuit against Young Money Entertainment for non payment.
According to TMZ, the group’s production claims the group was promised a $600,000 advance from Lil Wayne and Young Money Entertainment. After completing their contractual obligation and releasing their debut self-titled EP on October 17th, 2013.
According to the suit, Young Money forked over the recording budget but have not compensated the bulk of the alleged $600,000 advance. Grassroots claims Young Money’s only response to their requests for compensation has been “Cash Money is not moving forward with this project.”
