The rift between Lil Wayne and and his record label looks like it might finally be over.
Cash Money Records co-owner, Bryan "Baby" Williams, posted an Instagram photo Friday morning, January 1, that shows him ringing in the new year with Weezy, Young Money Records President, Mack Maine, Drake and 2 Chainz.
The caption on the photo, which has now been changed, hinted at the long awaited release of Wayne's album, "Tha Carter V."
"C5 poppin," Baby wrote, before changing the caption to "2016 #makemusic #lifestyle #YMCMB4Ife."
Mack Maine posted the same photo on his IG page and sent out several tweets indicating things were being worked out.

— Mack Maine (@mackmaine) January 1, 2016Wayne and Birdman had been at odds for a year. The rapper filed a breach of contract lawsuit against Baby and Cash Money Records for $51 million in January 2015.
The suit claimed that Cash Money violated the deal in three ways.
1. Not paying Wayne an $8 million advance when he began recording Tha Carter V in December 2013.
2. Failing to pay Wayne an additional $2 million upon completion of the album a year later.
3. Refusing to release the album.
