With his lyrical grievances out of the way, Lil Wayne is landscaping his post-Cash Money future.

Which happens to be a future without Birdman making a dime off of either Drake or Nicki Minaj.

Via TMZ:

Nicki Minaj and Drake are Lil Wayne’s goldfish … ’cause when he finally storms out of Cash Money Records — a la “Jerry Maguire” — he’s taking them along for the ride … even if Birdman has other plans.

Our Weezy sources tell us — in addition to demanding millions from Birdman — Wayne plans to sue to ensure all his Young Money Entertainment artists remain under HIS umbrella.

Drake, Nicki, Christina Milian, and Lil Twist are all signed to Wayne’s label. Mack Maine is also a YME artist, and the label’s president.

Even though Birdman was integral in molding Drake and Nicki’s careers … we’re told Weezy believes the superstars should go with him because their contracts are with YME.

Clouding the issue is the fact … Cash Money has a distribution deal with all of the Young Money artists. Most likely the matter will have to be settled in court, but we’re told Wayne’s intent is clear — he’s not leaving without his crew.

He said as much on the mixtape track, “CoCo” — “I ain’t trippin’, I got Barbie … I got Drake too.”

On her newest project The Pinkprint, Nicki boldy raps, “Cash money getting six albums/no b*tch niggas on a b*tch album.” If Wayne thinks he’s in for a fight getting himself off the label, then it will likely be World War III rescuing the other cash cows from the pasture.
