The seemingly never ending feud between Birdman/Cash Money Records and Lil Wayne has held up the release of Weezy's album, "Tha Carter V" for three years.

Earlier this week Baby gave fans a reason for hope when he said the album will finally see the light of day.

“It’s definitely coming out,” he announced on Travis Scott’s Beats 1 radio show. “The situation with me and my son, I’m going to put it all behind us and just let it move forward. Wayne is one of the best artists ever to do the game, and I want to see him continue to do what he been doing, and I’m going to support whatever he’s doing."

Wayne must not have gotten the memo because he has the album's masters and says it's not coming out until the $51 million lawsuit against his label is settled, according to TMZ.

The "A Milli" hit maker believes Birdman is just trying to "look like the nice guy" by dangling a carrot in front of fans.

However, TMZ reports that a resolution could come soon because Stunna met with Cash Money's distributor, Universal Records, last week in an attempt to work out a deal that would financially satisfy Wayne.

The first shot in Lil Wayne's legal battle to get out of his Cash Money Records contract has been fired.

TMZ reports that as promised Wayne has filed a lawsuit claiming breach of contract. The suit claims 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.

Wayne says he hasn't received a dime of what's owed to him. He's asking a judge to award him $51 million, release him from his contract and declare that he's the joint copyright holder of all the artist recordings under his Young Money label. That would include the works of Tyga, Nicki Minaj, Drake and all other acts he signed.

Birdman's reason for not releasing Tha Carter V has been that he believes there is more behind the scenes work that needs to be done first.

Sources close to Wayne told TMZ that at this point the only way it will be released is if he is paid what he's due.
