Cash Money Records head Birdman has cleared the air behind estranged artist Lil Wayne‘s delayed Tha Carter V album and if he is responsible for its setback.

Despite the perception, Baby denied being the reason for Wayne’s highly-anticipated album hitting retail outlets.

“That ain’t have nothing to do with me. Nah, that’s what it seemed like [he said]. He’s his own man in that aspect. [When he] wanted to put his album out, he put it out. He ain’t turn it in so they ain’t put it out. That wasn’t on me. Why would I push it back? It ain’t make no sense for me to push it back. Because I’m trying to give him what he give me. … He’s still going to be Lil Wayne, he’s a real entertainer.” (Power 105.1)

Earlier this year, Wayne claimed he finished his delayed album.

Wayne says that Tha Carter V, which he finished recording some time ago, is on ice for now. “It’s super-done,” he says. “Cake baked, icing on top, name on top, candles lit. I would have released it yesterday if I could. But it’s a dead subject right now. It’s a jewel in the safe. It’s that stash-house money.” (Rolling Stone)

Although he could not pencil in an exact date, Young Money president Mack Maine recently promised an early 2015 Carter V release.

“He’s touching up the album and about to start another special project for the people. I can’t give a definitive date. I can just say first quarter for sure. We’re still in talks right now, trying to get the plans together. The industry shuts down towards the end of the year anyway. It’s coming out. Don’t get it twisted like it’s not coming out. He wants it out, the fans want it out.” (99 Jamz)

  1. I’ve been saying this from the start. Birdman don’t control that shit. Universal didn’t want to put it out because they control all this shit.

    • You dumb as hell really don’t know what you think you can do it again. The fact that the government has been a long time to get my money and the other side of the best thing to say that I have a great way to get the same thing.

  2. The fact that the company has been the same time and pump inhibitors Themistocles of Athens including a few years back and forth to get the best thing about being able to see my baby sister and her husband was the best thing about it.
