Lil Wayne's Young Money imprint is facing two seperate lawsuits by producers who claim they worked on several albums for the label and haven't been properly compensated.
Andrews "Drew" Correa and Marcos "Infamous" Rodriguez filed federal lawsuits this week against Young Money Entertainment according to TMZ.
Both claim they were getting royalty payments until they suddenly stopped and the label has refused to cough up the rest of what they are owed.
Correa says he signed a deal with YME in 2008 to produce music for YME. He claims the music he produced ended up on "Tha Carter III," "Re-Birth," "I'm Not a Human Being" and "Priceless."
Rodriguez has a similar story. He claims he signed a deal in 2007 to produce music for YME and says his music ended up on “Tha Carter III," "Re-Birth," "We Are Young Money," "Carter IV" and "Priceless."
Both producers have hired Singh, Singh and Trauben to represent them.

A male porn star has taken the blame for the current syphilis outbreak that has closed down the adult film industry in Los Angeles.
After Mr. Marcus contracted the bacterial infection on set, he altered his syphilis-positive test so he could continue performing.
The 18-year veteran actor’s admission came after the industry’s self-imposed 10 day moratorium which has sen more than 1,000 performers in the Los Angeles area get tested and administered preventative antibiotics.
At least nine porn stars have revealed they have contracted syphilis.
According to XBiz Mr Marcus said: "I tried to cover it up…because I said it was like the scarlet letter. It’s the word. Syphilis, whoa," he said. "Mr Marcus, syphilis? Mr Marcus, the one I worked with? The one that everybody works with? The one that’s been in this industry forever?"
A doctor told Mr Marcus that he would not be contagious 10 days after taking a shot of penicillin on July 13.
With that diagnosis he returned to work 11 days later, on July 24, still with syphilis.
Instead of presenting a paper or digital copy of the test results he showed the producer a copy on his phone so the details about the infection were not visible.
While filming another porn film, Mr Marcus said he folded the test to hide the syphilis diagnosis and photocopied it but a producer noticed the results were missing and questioned him about it.
He said: "I have to live with this, no one else does."
The porn star posted on Twitter yesterday: "You can be disappointed, but don't throw stones. Some of you are living in glass houses."
The actor said that three women he performed with after his diagnosis have all tested negative for syphilis.
The bacterial infection has a 90-day incubation period meaning a porn actor could potentially be carrying the disease without it showing up on tests.
Cover up: The porn star tried to hide his diagnosis because it was 'like a scarlet letter', leaving out the positive test results when showing producers a photocopy of his blood test. Yesterday he tweeted after his admission
Porn star Aletta Ocean, 24, said on Tuesday that she contracted syphilis while shooting movies in Budapest, Hungary.
Aletta Ocean
Her revelation led to speculation that the outbreak of the disease came from Hungary.
According to porn industry blog LukeIsBack.com she tweeted: "F*cking siphilis problem… In Budapest many people got it..Me too…"
Sex workers are supposed to undergo regular blood tests to ensure they are free of sexually transmitted disease.
It was reported that one of the labs frequented by porn stars does not test for syphilis.
Syphilis is a treatable bacterial infection that can be spread by both bodily fluids and contact with infected skin.
Its causes skin lesions and rashes. If left untreated, it can permanently alter and damage internal organs and brain function.
The number of syphilis cases in California has jumped 18 per cent according to a recent report from the California Department of Public Health.
The results showed a much higher rate of men had contracted the infection and that African Americans were affected more than any other racial demographic.
The outbreak is likely to bolster a ballot issue in November that aims to force all porn performers to wear condoms during pornography shoots.
Condom use has become of political issue in Los Angeles since a 2010 AIDs outbreak, which infected one performer.

Quentin Tarantino presents "The Man With the Iron Fists," an action-adventure inspired by kung-fu classics as interpreted by his longtime collaborators RZA and Eli Roth. Making his debut as a big-screen director and leading man, RZA-alongside a stellar international cast led by Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu-tells the epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone outsider hero in nineteenth-century China who must unite to destroy the clan traitor who would destroy them all.
Since his arrival in China's Jungle Village, the town's blacksmith (RZA) has been forced by radical tribal factions to create elaborate tools of destruction. When the clans' brewing war boils over, the stranger channels an ancient energy to transform himself into a human weapon. As he fights alongside iconic heroes and against soulless villains, one man must harness this power to become savior of his adopted people.
Blending astonishing martial-arts sequences from some of the masters of this world with the signature vision he brings as the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan and as one of hip-hop's most dominant figures of the past two decades, RZA embarks upon his most ambitious, stylized and thrilling project to date.

Singer/actress Aaliyah was just 22-years old when she died in a plane crash on August 25, 2001, but she had already accomplished so much. She touched the lives of everyone she came in contact with as well as her many fans worldwide. One person who got the chance to work closely with Aaliyah was rapper DMX. In a candid interview with The Boombox he remembers her.
"Aaliyah is sincerely missed," DMX tells The BoomBox, his voice lower than the usual boisterous tone he delivers. Eleven years have passed since the iconic chanteuse's untimely death on Aug. 25, 2001, a date that marks an irreplaceable loss in the R&B spectrum.
X shared a bond with the One in a Million creator, having worked closely with her on the 2000 film "Romeo Must Die" and on the accompanying soundtrack, for which they recorded the memorable song "Come Back in One Piece." During the supporting video shoot, the rapper recalls a particular moment between the two that didn't sit so well with one onlooker.
"I had fun shooting that video," the 41-year-old Yonkers, N.Y., native admits. "My wife [Tashera Simmons] got mad because there was one scene I was sitting up on the bench and [Aaliyah] was sitting [below] between my legs. I had on a jean jacket, it was a little chilly, and [Aaliyah] just had on a T-shirt.
"I was rubbing her arms, warming her up... I just felt the eyeballs [from Tashera]. A wife can give you a stare that will burn the side of your head. It was like a magnifying glass with the sun on me [laughs]. But I wouldn't change a thing."
The memories DMX has of the lauded singer are both personal and positive. His youngest daughter, 1, shares Aaliyah's name -- a sign of appreciation for the impact the deceased performer had on his life. Years ago, he brought Aaliyah to an awards show in L.A. as his guest. The exact event slips the Undisputed MC's mind but a smile washes over his face as he speaks on how he saw himself as "the man" that day.
"When I found out [Aaliyah] would go to an awards show with me, I said, 'Alright I got to make the movie,'" DMX states. "So I went and got the convertible; I think it was a Rolls Royce, Bentley -- one of the two. It was me, her, her brother and my security. Pushing the convertible, like, 'Yeah, see who in the passenger seat, n----.' Like, 'I'm the man right now.'"
While much of their time together was marked by entertaining moments, the "I Don't Dance" rhymer turns solemn when thinking back on the day she died in a tragic plane crash in the Bahamas 11 years ago.
"Her presence will be felt long after all of us are dead," he explains as he sits on a black leather couch. "That's the thing about a great artist. Music is timeless. Music will never die. She'll never die. I think it's only in death do we recognize a person's true presence."
Fans still feel her absence and remember the remarkable career she had at just 22 years old. Double platinum-selling accolades, chart-topping albums like Age Ain't Nothing But a Number, respected movie roles and Grammy nominations were just a few of the accomplishments she earned as an entertainer. DMX believes her dedication and genuine attitude in life and work are what keeps her spirit alive after her death.
"There are some people that are alive and breathing right now but they're not here," X says pointedly. "They can fucking fall out the window right now and nobody would miss them. We'd see the stain on the floor but, you know, two days later, you don't really miss 'em.
"But some people, when they're gone, physically, they leave a void. And that's definitely what happened with Aaliyah. She left an emptiness."

A man who held a grudge against an ex co-worker killed the man moments before being gunned down himself by police near the Empire State building in New York City Friday.
Jeffrey Johnson, dressed in a business suit and carrying a suitcase which contained additional ammo, shot 41-year old Steven Ercolino five times, killing him on a W. 33rd St. sidewalk.
Steve Ercolino
Ercolino was headed back to his sales job at Hazan Imports Corp. after grabbing breakfast at a coffee shop when he was ambushed by Johnson, who shot Ercolino once in the head, then stood over him firing four more rounds according to the New York Daily News.
“He just kept shooting him, over and over,” said a construction worker who watched the shooting from scaffolding on the skyscraper. “He had something against that guy. He knew what he came to do.”
Johnson, 53, worked for Hazan Import Corp. as a designer of women’s accesories for six years. He was laid off a year ago when the company downsized.
Johnson blamed the victim for the failure of his T-shirt line. Ercolino was a vice president of sales.
Jeffrey Johnson
“Steve and Jeff never got along,” said co-worker Irene Timan. “Jeff just didn’t like him. He would taunt Steve, throw his elbow or shoulder into him in the hallway. Then they had a little altercation in the elevator and soon after Jeff was laid off, we never heard from or saw him again — until this morning.”
NBC New York said that in 2011, while riding in an elevator together, Johnson told Ercolino, “I am going to kill you.”
On Friday Johnson made good on that threat.
After killing Ercolino, Johnson started walking down the sidewalk, but was soon confronted by two New York police officers. Johnson pulled out a gun and turned to face the officers who opened fire on him.
The cops fired 16 shots before Johnson could get off a single shot. He was killed instantly.
“It was a frozen moment,” said witness Karaann White. “I’m just glad it wasn’t a terrorist attack,” she said. “Because it was at the Empire State Building, that’s what we all thought it was.”
Johnson shot dead lying face down.
A total of 9 innocent bystanders were hit by police gunfire. All are expected to make full recoveries.
NYPD released footage of the fatal shooting. Watch that below.
