Tyga's latest CD titled The Gold Album: The 18th Dynasty, didn't perform well when it as released on June 30. The oft-delayed project only sold 2,200 copies it's first week out. By comparison the rapper's previous disc Hotel California sold 54,000 first week and is approaching gold status.
Cash Money Records co-owner, Birdman, believes T-Raww purposely torpedoed the new album's sales by allowing it to be streamed for free on Spotify, Soundcloud and YouTube, according to TMZ.
Because of the record's poor performance and what Birdman's believes was a stunt by Tyga to leave Cash Money a dud for his last contractually obligated album, so he could sign outright with Lil Wayne, he's not counting the disc and is refusing to let the "Rack City" rapper out of his contract.
Baby is looking to take Tyga to court if need be to enforce the contract. What doesn't make any sense is that The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty was released independently by Tyga's own label, Last Kings Music. That would seem to make Birdman's claims pointless unless he and the rapper had some other kind of deal under the table.
Tyga explained his side of it all via Twitter on July 1.
We guess a judge will eventually sort this mess out.
