50 Cent Addresses Lil Wayne & Birdman Beef

Opening up about his thoughts on the current feud between Lil Wayne and Cash Money, 50 Cent sat down with MTV recently and explained why he's happy to have total control over his own albums' release dates as a newly independent artist.
"I enjoy the freedom of being able to set the date," he said. "To say, 'It's gonna come out on that date 'cause it says it's gonna come out on that date.' Everybody else can catch up."
Addressing Wayne's release date woes at Cash Money, 50 offered his perspective on the rift.
"I'm surprised to see Wayne going through that because of the relationship between him and Baby," he said. "I think it'll work itself out. I hate when personal things become public 'cause everyone [speculates] on things they don't really know. I just know that they had a father-son relationship and that could easily be something that they communicate between the two of them and resolve instead of having everybody else involved. Be careful the things that you say about the Wayne and Baby situation. Baby will forgive Wayne for the things that he's saying and Wayne will forgive Baby for the things he's saying, but they may not forgive you. The relationship has so much depth to it that you really shouldn't even speak on it. Because they're public people we don't think about it but that's like me being in the middle of you and your mom having an argument. Then you and your mom make up for whatever reasons but I can't come over your mother's house no more 'cause of the stuff I said."

Lil Wayne Talks Birdman Rift, "The Free Weezy" Album & Retirement

Lil Wayne has broken his silence regarding his Cash Money Records status.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Weezy jokes about the Tweets he shared last December that exposed his troubles with his father figure, Birdman, and his "prisoner" status on the label he has belonged to since age 12.

Wayne told the publication that he and Birdman are currently not speaking to one another. He says that he has "no words" for Baby and truthfully, he's "super-numb" to the situation.

Rolling Stone was able to reach the rapper by phone last week. Although he wasn't open to talk about the pending lawsuit, he did discuss the status of Tha Carter V, his forthcoming Free Weezy album and the possibility of retiring in the near future.

According to Wayne, Tha Carter V, is "super-done."

"Cake baked, icing on top, name on top, candles lit," he says. "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."

As for The Free Weezy Album, which is slated to be released in March, Wayne says he is "working on it every day."

"I guarantee it's going to be something dope," he says. "If you don't want a musician being creative, don't get The Free Weezy Album."

Elsewhere in the interview, Wayne mentions that he listens to newer artists like Rae Sremmurd and Migos. He also admit to considering retirement.

"I've thought about it," he says. "But for a person like me that bleeds, eats, sleeps and shits music, it's hard to do."
