It looks like the contentious and protracted contract negotiations withBirdman and Cash Money Recordshave taken a heavy toll onLil Wayne.
The 33-year old rap superstar announced that he was walking away from the game via his Twitter account on Saturday morning, September 3.
"I AM NOW DEFENSELESS AND mentally DEFEATED & I leave gracefully and thankful I luh my fanz but I'm dun," he wrote. "Ain't lookin for sympathy, just serenity."
Aswe previously reported, Wayne filed a$51 million breach of contract lawsuitagainst Cash Money in January 2015.
The reasons cited included:
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.
Since that time the "A Milli"hit maker has publicly dissed both Birdman and Cash Money several times.
On December 31, 2015, the stalemate appeared to be coming to an end when Birdman, Wayne,DrakeandMack Mainewere photographed ringing in 2016 togetherin Miami at E11even nightclub.
Mack captioned the photo on his Instagram page: "United we stand divided we fall."
However, that moment of solidarity was short lived. Since then, Weezy has dissed Cash Money during his concerts, took a photo in May with Birdman foes Rick Ross and Trick Daddy and was spotted wearing a cap with "Fuck Cash Money" written on it in July.
If Wayne has really hung up the mic where would you rank him all time?

(Billboard) Jerry Heller, N.W.A’s controversial original manager and music industry veteran, has died, his cousin Gary Ballen confirms to Billboard. He was 75; the cause of death is not yet known.
Already in his mid-40s when he paired up with aspiring rap mogul Eazy-E, Heller became an unlikely booster of gangsta rap, and his efforts helped N.W.A and its label Ruthless Records make hardcore hip-hop popular around the world. Outspoken and litigious, he sued the makers of the 2015 hit biopic Straight Outta Compton and was the subject of numerous diss songs.
N.W.A.
After rapper Ice Cube left N.W.A he famously suggested in his 1991 song “No Vaseline” that the remaining group members “Get rid of that devil real simple / Put a bullet in his temple.”
Raised in Shaker Heights, Cleveland, Heller said he faced anti-Semitism growing up, and that his father, the owner of a scrap metal business, spent time with the Jewish mob. He enlisted in the Army, and after getting out earned a business degree from the University of Southern California. During the ‘60s and ‘70s his career in the music industry began to take off, and he served as agent for artists including Creedence Clearwater Revival and Marvin Gaye, and promoted Pink Floyd, Elton John, and Kraftwerk on their first U.S. tours. His fortunes later declined, however, and by the mid-‘80s he was living with his parents in Encino, Calif., he wrote in his 2006 memoir Ruthless.
His second act would come by way of the emerging L.A. hip-hop scene, which was largely based around a Hollywood record plant and label called Macola. Tipped off by his friend Morey Alexander, a music manager, Heller began hanging out at Macola and introducing himself to the artists, and became the manager of acts including World Class Wreckin’ Cru and C.I.A., the first groups of Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, respectively.
Eazy E
But his greatest pairing was with Eazy-E, aka Eric Wright, a diminutive Compton drug dealer who was looking to go straight. Wright famously paid World Class Wreckin’ Cru leader Alonzo Williams for the introduction to Heller, whom he believed could take his label Ruthless Records to the next level. Heller invested money in Ruthless and became the manager of many of the label’s acts, who experienced unprecedented success in the George H.W. Bush and early Bill Clinton years, with acts including N.W.A, Eazy-E, J.J. Fad, Michel’le, D.O.C., and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony going gold or platinum. By 1995 Ruthless “was bringing in millions per month,” Heller claimed in his memoir.

But Heller clashed with many of his artists along the way. N.W.A’s iconoclastic lyricist Ice Cube left the group following seismic 1988 debut Straight Outta Compton, claiming that he hadn’t been paid properly. The group’s main producer Dr. Dre left after their 1991 follow-up Efil4zaggin, amidst a similar financial dispute. Heller denied allegations of financial impropriety, and was strongly backed by Eazy-E. “People callin’ me, askin’ me, ‘Why you got a white man as your manager?’ ” Eazy told Rap Pages at the time. “It’s like, when I was lookin’ for a manager, I closed my f---in’ eyes and I said, ‘I want the best.’ Jerry happened to be the best.”
Jerry Heller
Heller’s legal battles with the group continued over the years. In October of 2015, shortly after Straight Outta Compton was released, Heller filed a $110 million lawsuit with a litany of claims boiling down to the fact that he was presented as the villain in the film, not compensated for the use of his likeness, that the defendants stole his work and breached an agreement that settled an old dispute with the Eazy E estate. In June 2016, a U.S. District judge dismissed all of Heller’s lawsuit, but allowed one claim to continue.

Famed activist, author, and television personality Marc Lamont Hill sat down with an exclusive interview with VladTV where he spoke about his new book, "Nobody: Casualties of America's War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond." He revealed that he got the idea for the book after visiting Ferguson following Mike Brown's death, which he compared to a modern day lynching. Hill added that while waiting on a proposal for the book, similar police brutality deaths took place, prompting him to take a closer look at the situation as a whole.
During the conversation, Hill shared his thoughts on the police and how he has a heightened expectation of them to protect us, but he added that he thinks the world would be a better place if we watched our communities and didn't have police. He also clarified that there's a difference in people snitching and witnessing a crime unfold in front of them. He adds that if there is a rapist running around the neighborhood, it isn't snitching if you alert the authorities to the situation.
Check out more of what Marc Lamont Hill had to say during the interview below, including why he thinks privately owned jails are continuing the convict lease system from the days of slavery.

Nicole Murphy (left) was conned out of $10 million by former friend Troy Stratos (right)
Video After The Jump
When Eddie Murphy and Nicole Murphy were divorced in 2006, she was awarded a $15 million settlement.
Nicole and Eddie Murphy were married for 12 years. They have 5 children
$10 million of it is now gone after Nicole was conned by a former friend she had known for 34 years.
According to theNew York Post,Troy Stratostold Nicole that he would invest the money overseas where it would earn a high rate of return.
A federal lawsuit filed in Sacramento alleged that Stratos kept all of the funds and covered Nicole's expenses with her own money.
A majority of the funds were used to finance Stratos' lavish lifestyle.
A trial was set to begin on September 12, but Stratos suddenly decided to plead guilty this week.
It was initially thought that Stratos had stolen $7-8 million from Nicole. Unfortunately for her, it turned out to be much more.
on Wednesday, August 31, he pleaded guilty to 11 counts of wire and mail fraud, two counts of money laundering and one count of obstruction of justice.
The 50-year old is already serving prison time for wire fraud and money laundering after being found guilty in May 2015, of defrauding a Philadelphia investment group out of $11.25 million.
Nicole, 48, told TMZ that she hoped to get all of the money back, if not more. She added that if that wasn't possible she would still be OK financially.
Stratos could end up spending the rest of his life in prison. If convicted of wire and mail fraud he could be sentenced up to 20 years in prison for each crime.
Money laundering and obstruction of justice carry a maximum penalty of 10 years each.
