Birdman has pulled the plug on contract negotiations with Lil Wayne ... at least for now.

TMZ reports that the two were close to reaching a settlement on Wayne's $51 million breach-of-contract lawsuit, until Weezy declared his allegiance to Roc-A-Fella Records during a concert in Los Angeles last weekend.

At this point, Wayne is saying fuck Cash Money for life. This Roc-A-Fella shout-out was random tho: pic.twitter.com/DiJoo7zJWC

— Eric Diep (@E_Diep) November 13, 2016

As we reported at the time, Wayne changed the lyrics in the chorus of the song "I'm Me" from "I'm a motherfucking Cash Money Millionaire" to "I'm a motherfucking Roc-A-Fella millionaire."

Birdman, who is said to have issues with Jay Z, felt disrespected and decided to halt settlement talks with his "son."

Wayne filed the lawsuit in January of this year against Baby and Cash Money Records.

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.

Kanye West's bizarre rant in Sacramento during a concert on Saturday, November 19, has everyone talking, including other celebrities.

Snoop Dogg posted a video on his Instagram account questioning the G.O.O.D. Music CEO's sanity.

"This nigga crazy," Snoop says in the clip. "Have y'all heard this nigga? This nigga onstage .... this nigga crazier than the shit I got on my head. That nigga crazy. I can't believe he still talking. He picked the wrong night to vent like that. Them Sacramento niggas ain't feeling that shit. You should have had a bunch of weird motherfuckers like you in there when you was talking that weird ass shit. that's just my thought. I smoke weed. Weed don't make you do that. What the fuck is he on?"

As we previously reported, West launched into a lengthy diatribe about MTV, Jay Z, Beyonce, Drake, DJ Khaled, the radio industry and more before waslking off the stage after only performing three songs.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sergey Kovalev kept coming, and Andre Ward never stopped battling. With the crowd roaring in approval, they put on a fight that lived up to its advance billing.

In the end, Ward won a narrow decision Saturday night to take Kovalev's light heavyweight titles in a battle between two unbeaten boxers.

Ward survived a second-round knockdown and relentless pressure from Kovalev, doing just enough to win by a point on all three ringside scorecards. He remained unbeaten in his last 20 years in the ring, but it wasn't without some moments of worry.

"This was a beautiful thing. We did it baby," Ward said. "I'm a five-time world champion in two different weight classes. Man, it's amazing."

All three ringside judges had Ward winning 114-113. The Associated Press had Kovalev ahead 116-111.

"It was a fight of my life," Kovalev said. "I am disappointed in the judges' decision. He got maybe a few rounds, I agree with that. I kept control. I lost maybe three rounds the whole fight."

Ward won all of the last six rounds on two scorecards, and five of six on a third. He won the final round on two of the scorecards.

Kovalev knocked down Ward in the second round and chased him around the ring much of the early part of the fight. But Ward dug deep and managed to land some good punches of his own in a fight that built to a climax in the later rounds.

The crowd of 13,310 at the T-Mobile Arena was on its feet in the late rounds as the two fighters went after each other, neither giving an inch. In the end, the judges favored Ward's counter punching against the aggressive style of Kovalev.

"We were a little careless with that knockdown in the second round," said Ward's trainer, Virgil Hunter. "But we landed the cleaner punches"

Both fighters were unbeaten with almost identical records. Ward was 30-0 with 15 knockouts and Kovalev was 30-0-1 with 26 knockouts.

It was a classic boxer versus puncher battle, and it looked like the puncher would prevail as Kovalev won the early rounds. But Ward kept punching and landed some good shots of his own in the middle rounds, and there were plenty of close rounds that could have gone either way.

"I knew it was going to be a tough fight — it was the 1st time in my career I was dropped," Ward said. "He did everything I expected him to do. He started to fight like I expected."

Kovalev's promoter, Kathy Duva, said she would use the rematch clause in the contract for a second fight.

"He won the first six rounds so I don't know how he could lose a decision," Duva said. "I'm happy we had a great fight. Boxing needed a great fight.

The fight was billed as a matchup of U.S. and Russian fighters, with the 2004 Olympic gold medalist Ward against a Russian who lives mostly in the Los Angeles area. It was a classic matchup of puncher versus boxer, and for the early part of the fight the puncher was winning.

Kovalev flashed his power early, hitting Ward with a left hand midway through the first round that briefly wobbled Ward's legs. Ward grabbed and held on and finished the round jabbing at the Russian, but the tone of the fight was set early.

Midway through the second round, both fighters threw right hands but it was Kovalev's that landed flush to the side of Ward's head, putting him on the canvas. He got up quickly and smiles as if not hurt but needed all of his supreme defensive skills to make it out of the round.

Ward seemed unwilling to go inside after that, moving backward and trying to land jabs to control the action. But he abandoned the style that had served him so well over the years and fought moving backward, throwing only one punch at a time, as Kovalev constantly pressed the attack.

Ward did have some moments, including the seventh round when he landed a good left that snapped Kovalev's head back.

Ward earned $5 million, while Kovalev was paid $2 million plus a percentage of pay-per-view.

On the undercard, two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa Shields made her pro debut a successful one, winning a decision over Franchon Crews in a four-round super middleweight fight.

Shields came back from a slow first round to land the bigger punches in an entertaining fight. Both women, fighting without headgear for the first time, traded punches freely but Shields won all over four rounds on the scorecards of the three ringside judges.

Shields, who became the first American woman to win a gold medal in the 2012 Olympics and added another in Rio in August, had vowed to be impressive in her first pro fight. And she wasn't shy about trading punches with Franchon, a Baltimore fighter who lost to her during the Olympic trials in 2012.

"Press, get ready to write your passive-aggressive, LeBron James racist comments. Season 4 racist comments. Get ready to have a field day, press, because the show’s over," West said as he dropped the hot mic and exited.

Last night's diatribe followed one in San Jose on Thursday, November 17. There, the 21-time Grammy Award-winning artist was booed as he talked about his support for Donald Trump and told black people to "stop focusing on racism."

As far as the rift between West and Jay Z, the G.O.O.D. Music CEO gave us a glimpse into the conflict during an October concert in Seattle.

West was upset that Hov called him instead of visiting in person after his wife, Kim Kardashian, was robbed in Paris.

"He called me after the robbery to say 'How you feeling?' West said at the time. "You wanna know how I'm feeling? Come by the house. Bring the kids by the house. Like we brothers, and sit down."

Trouble Gets His Own Billboard In Atlanta

Cam Kirk has put another local Atlanta star in the sky. Trouble is the latest regional phenomenon to get his own billboard thanks to the exquisite photographer Cam Kirk.

Trouble is the latest regional phenomenon to get his own billboard thanks to the exquisite photographer Cam Kirk.

The billboard is on the corner of Memorial and Moreland Ave. right now if you’re in ATL.

It’s the second billboard Cam has thrown up after Bankroll Fresh was memorialized with one on the corner of 10th Street and Northside Drive earlier this year.

To people across the country, it might be a little confusing. Trouble and Bankroll Fresh aren’t exactly national superstars, but within the city of Atlanta, they are.

As Cam Kirk told Pigeons & Planes in an April interview, “A lot of people don’t see it like this, but to us here in Atlanta, Bankroll Fresh is an icon.”

The billboards are part of Kirk’s Day 4 exhibit.

Initially funded in part by Atlanta producers like Metro Boomin, Sonny Digital, and Southside.

In a sense, these billboards indicate the beliefs of locals; yes, these are stars, no matter the fact that national media widely ignore them.

The people of Atlanta know it, and that’s all that matters.

The billboards don’t need to be all over the country, just high in the air in the city that cares for the artist displayed on them.

Seeing these acknowledgments gives citizens something to be proud of.

The timing couldn’t be any better because 2016 has been Skoob’s year.

His Skoobzilla mixtape from earlier this year is still as excellent of a front-to-back play as it was when it dropped.

Trouble plans on dropping new music soon.

The beef between Soulja Boy and Chicago native Rico Recklezz doesn't appear to be dying down.

To those who may not have been paying attention to this conflict here's a quick rundown. The two rapper's began a war of words when Soulja was beefing with Lil Yachty over model India Love. Rico came to Lil Boat's defense and things began to escalate from there.

On November 6, Soulja tweeted that he had put a $100,000 bounty on Rico's head.

"He gon be dead before 2017. We sliding. I got 100k on his head," Soulja wrote.

Rico responded by challenging the SODMG boss to a fight for $10,000, that could be aired to the public.

"FUK IT LETS BOX 1 ON 1 For 10K @SouljaBoy WE CAN YOUTUBE IT TMZ IT WATEVA WEN U READY???

Rico would go on to release two Soulja boy diss songs/videos ... "No Talking" and "Crank That."

Afterwards a couple of Chicago goons got Soulja's number, called him and let him know that they weren't going to allow him to harm anyone from their city, and the threats must cease at once.

"The nigga put my name in a song," Soulja responded. "Them texts weren't even about him. I'm on paperwork right now, you feel me? So, we don't even play those type of games. Ain't nobody gon' put no money on nobody head. None of that, bro. That nigga just need to holla at me on the phone."

Beef dead, right? Well ... we're not exactly sure. On Friday, November 18, Vlad TV aired an interview with Soulja, in which he talked about the situation.

"Shorty ass ain't on a crumb. Shorty ass ain't on shit," Soulja told Vlad. "He just dissed the whole Chicago [on the song Hit Em Up] and called, apologized to everybody he dissed. He looking for clout. I don't know why we even talking 'bout him right now. But he looking for clout. That's what he looking for right now. He can't wait to watch this interview and me say his name, 'cause I never say his name and I don't even know him. He dissing me because of Lil Yachty," he continued. "You dissing me about another man because of a bitch he ain't ever met. That's how you know the whole situation goofy. It ain't about no money. This is fake beef. You trying to get famous off of me. You made a song called Crank That on my beat. You goofy as hell."

"I'm having $100,000 cash on me right now. This man ain't ever seen a million dollars in his life. I made a million dollars when I was 17. Rico what? Boy, y'all is tweaking right now," Soulja said. "The beef over with, you feel me? But, whatever. If a nigga got a problem with me ... niggas can't beat me, bro. I'll beat the shit out of a nigga. We shooting the shit out. All that, you feel me? I just want the shit to be gone. Because I'm about to sign this million dollar deal with my record label. And I ain't trying to have the Feds knock at my door if something happen to this man."
