Birdman Sued Over Failed Show

Cash Money CEO Bryan “Birdman” Williams is facing a $75,000 lawsuit over a failed show in Las Vegas. Lana Fuchs and her company Billionaire Mafia LLC filed the suit in United States District Court for the District of Nevada–Las Vegas. Fuchs claims that Birdman failed to appear for an August 17th, 2010 show at Club Eve.

The lawsuit claims that Birdman was wired $50,000 through a Florida attorney named Philip Brutus, who claimed he represented the rapper and Nicki Minaj. Birdman says that Brutus does not represent him and that his signature was forged on documents.

“Birdman had stated that he never signed the agreement in question, but it appears that his signature on the agreement appeared to be not Birdman's, but a forged signatures,” the lawsuit alleges.

Lana Fuchs discovered that Birdman's performance fee is only $35,000, not the $50,000 that was wired. She is still seeking at least $75,000 in actual damages, lost profits or other consequential damages. Birdman and Brutus are both named in the suit.

Birdman On "Watch the Throne:"

Birdman shared his thoughts on Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne album. The Cash Money founder says that the album reflects an older perspective in hip hop, and he still believes that hip hop is a younger man's game.

He also alluded to Lil Wayne and Drake doing something similar.

"It's older versus younger," Baby said in an interview. "I listened to a few songs [off Watch The Throne] and it feels like an older feel to me. I think with Drake and Wayne, they young. They young cats. You got 23 and 28. Then you got Jay-Z and them, who are older and really on their way out the game. Then you got Wayne and Drake and them, who are still youthful [...] So, it's two different types of music all the way across the board. But what they're doing is great -- I think it's great for the game, great for the business, great for retail as a whole. I just think when Wayne and Drake get together is going to be something real special also because we more youthful."

Birdman Calls Out Soulja Boy

Despite claims from Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy that he has been courted by Birdman and Slim of Cash Money Records, Birdman has said that he has never tried to sign Soulja Boy to his label. In a very strangely-worded tweet, Birdman shot down rumors that Soulja Boy was headed to the label.

"YMCMB busine$$ real talk," Birdman tweeted. "I neva tried 2 sign n0b0dy thats already sign 2 s0meb0dy. We d0nt r0ck like [that.] I neva tried 2 sign s0ulja. But I respect tha lil h0mey wrk keep getn it$$$$"

Apparently, Birdman is way too rich to waste time spell-checking his tweets. Or even trying to make them read-able.

Dude....come on...
