Jas Prince, son of Rap-A-Lot Records CEO James Prince, is credited with discovering Drake. Jas signed the rapper to his company Young Empire Music Group and to Aspire Music Group. In 2007 Cash Money Records wanted to sign Drizzy and Jas agreed to a deal that would give him 22% of of the rapper's future profits and advances.

According to court documents, Jas later approached Lil Wayne's manager Cortez Bryant with a new deal demanding more money.
Jas ended up filing a lawsuit seeking $4 million dollars from Birdman and Cash Money, claiming he was cheated out of royalties.

Bryant now says he only signed the new deal because he thought he might be killed if he didn't.
The docs claim that Prince chased them around the table with a gun and threatened to kill them if they didn’t sign the new agreement. He goes on to say Cortez didn’t call the police because he feared for his life and he just signed the document, according to The Jasmine Brand.

Drake is not involved in the lawsuit.
