Young Money Entertainment is an
American record label founded by New
Orleans rapper Lil Wayne. The label is an
imprint of Cash Money Records, of which Lil Wayne was president, and is
distributed by Universal Records. As of October 2, 2007, Lil Wayne has
stated in an interview with Vibe magazine that he gave his position in
Young Money Entertainment to Cortez Bryant.
There has been some controversy
surrounding the Young Money Entertainment label. In January of 2008, Lil'
Wayne went to court for drugs and weapons
charges he faced in Yuma,
Arizona. That same day, he
arrived to his scheduled concert in Richmond,
Virginia, and stressed to
the crowd that he had an attitude and was mad about a few things that
happened. He said that it bothers him to know that the same people who
said they would be there for him turned their backs on him, but he didn't
name any names. He then took off his jacket and threw it in his DJ's
face, who happens to be Cortez Bryant, his manager and recently appointed
president of Young Money.
The Young Money Entertainment camp
has not been through any more controversy, as they recently released a
new track titled "Throwback" which features Lil' Wayne.
Lil' Wayne has also been working with
a new female rapper, Nicki Minaj, who he recently signed. They are
featured together on a track titled "High as a Kite" which is a
freestyle over an instrumental used in T.I.'s album T.I. vs. T.I.P. for
the track "My Swag".
