Why is Lil Wayne being sued?

He wasn't featured on the song or didn't produce it. Baby should be sued too.

That entire clique seems to not like to pay. Didn't producer Bangladesh who produced Lil Wayne's '6ft' song say he hasn't been paid for that track or others. You wouldn' thave thought he would have learned the first time.

Lil Wayne gets it in the papers and headlines.

Remember Juvenile, BG, Turk, mannie Fresh ect. They all never got paid by Baby and Slim, which is why they all keft Cash Money. Especially Fresh, he was the in house producer since the early 90s for Cash Money. BG and Juvenile (not Wayne) bought CMR fame in the mid to late 90s.

lil wayne was the first one to rap on bed rock

I just had this convo with a friend the other day, who regularly gets requests from EM, Fifty, Estelle, Legend, Brandy etc for beats. I said hey, maybe you'll get lucky and they'll rip something that you can reap huge rewards from. I know...it's a helluva way to look at it - but it happens just all too frequently.
