Lil' Wayne took everyone surprise when he tweeted that Cash Money Records refused to release his highly anticipated Tha Carter V album. Some fans found it hard to believe the rapper would split from his longtime label but he confirmed his message during a live performance at VICE's 20th anniversary party.
Apparently, Lil' Wayne's days with the label are numbered. He addressed his shocking tweets in Brooklyn on Friday saying, "It's a f--ked up situation, but I will be out of it soon, and I do it for y'all."
Just a day before, Wayne took to social media to express his dismay with the label.
"I want off this label and nothing to do with these people but unfortunately it ain't that easy," he tweeted."
The folks at TMZ caught up with the "Lollipop" rapper's manager, Cortez Bryant, who acted like everything was all good.
"We good," he told the entertainment news outlet. "I'm smiling. I wouldn't be out at the club right now."
He later jumped on Twitter writing, "Sarcasm at an all time high."

No word on what Wayne has planned but Pusha T encouraged him to join Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music.

Back in October, Birdman spoke on the delay on Lil' Wayne's album, insinuating that pushing its release back was Wayne's idea.
"[Wayne]'s so much an artist like that," he said. "He change his mind a lot. He feel like he want to do more. Really, they be on they call. It ain't on me. So whatever Wayne want to do, Nicki want to do. I leave that up to them. I don't decide on dates and everything. I don't do none of that."
