Report: Birdman is Blocking Lil Wayne's Money

Source says Chanel West Coast caught up in contract drama.

More drama between Birdman and Lil Wayne. This time, the disagreement is over the signing of Chanel West Coast to YMCMB.

The femcee, most commonly known for her appearances in MTV’s Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory, and her recent claim of police brutality, was set to sign a deal with the label but according to a TMZ source familiar with the ongoing lawsuit, Birdman is blocking the move.

A HISTORY OF RAPPERS THROWING THEIR OWN MUSIC FESTIVALS

This isn't the first time Lil Wayne has tried to sign Chanel. The deal fell through once before, in 2013, for reasons that aren't clear.

Since the shocking rift between the Cash Money boss and his "son" Wayne, the status of Drake and Nicki Minaj's agreements also have been a topic of heated debate.
