Lil Wayne Reveals He Is Now the Owner of Young Money in ‘Billboard’ Cover Story, ‘Tha Carter V’ to Drop Soon

Lil Wayne is the face of Billboard‘s September 15 issue, and with that comes breaking news from the Drai’s resident: he is now the sole owner of Young Money Entertainment. After a lengthy legal battle with Cash Money, Wayne reveals that he settled the complex lawsuit for an undisclosed sum, giving him full ownership of Young Money — the imprint he founded back in 2005. Does this mean we can finally see Tha Carter V dropping soon? All signs lead to a resounding ‘yes’ with this tweet from the official Young Money Twitter account:

According to Billboard, this will be his first album in his career to not have the Cash Money logo on it. The years-long legal drama didn’t phase Lil Wayne, and he has nothing but a positive outlook for the future: “I didn’t let it get to me too much … Just the confidence in knowing that there’s always a tomorrow and I’m going to make sure that tomorrow is bright. Some people can’t go on [like] that, like, ‘OK, tomorrow will be better.’ They need it to be better right now. And thank God I didn’t, and I never did.” The exclusive feature touches on a variety of topic, including his upbringing, fellow label mates, his relationship with Birdman, and much more.
