Lil Wayne Signs To Jay Z's Roc Nation

After performing at Legacy Bay Area hip hop radio station 106 KMEL's annual summer jam, Cash Money(now former Cash Money)rapper,Lil Wayne announced he is now signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation label.

A video recording reveals Wayne telling the crowd "I just signed a deal with my motherfuckin idol Jay Z" without getting into further details.

What Wayne didn't say is whether that means he'll be releasing music through Roc Nation or that he simply joined their management roster. He almost signed to the label several years ago though, and his $51m worth of problems with Cash Money have been well publicised.

Jay Z claimed that he could have signed Wayne but didn't want to ruin his relationship with Cash Money's Baby.
Last year during an interview with Hot 97 Breakfast Club, Jay Z revealed how he almost signed Lil Wayne to Roc-A-Fella Records in 2008.

"The truth is after I had a meeting with Wayne, I had a relationship with Baby, when I used to go to New Orleans I would meet up with him," Hov said.


Weezy has been having issues with his Cash Money label boss,Baby for a while because his new album Tha Carter V which was scheduled for release on December 9 was delayed.The rapper went on a very public rant on Twitter about his grouse with the label.


"To all my fans, I want u to know that my album won't and hasn't been released bekuz Baby & Cash Money Rec. refuse to release it," Lil Wayne Tweeted.

To all my fans, I want u to know that my album won't and hasn't been released bekuz Baby & Cash Money Rec. refuse to release it.


Lil Wayne might join the likes of Vic Mensa, J. Cole and Rihanna on Roc Nation's artist roster or Big Sean, Meek Mill and Kanye West in tapping the Roc for management.
