Cash Money Records, the label co-owned by brothers Bryan "Birdman" WilliamsandRonald "Slim" Williams, has been hit with a new lawsuit.
According to Page Six, the company is being accused by Aspire Music Group of "hoarding" profits from Drake's music, in a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Drake was discovered by Jas Prince on Myspace in 2008. Through his introduction, the rapper was signed to Aspire, which later entered into an agreement with Lil Wayne's Young Money Records, a subsidiary of Cash Money.
Aspire was to receive one-third of Cash Money's profits from Drake's music.
The new lawsuit claims that Cash Money has refused to open it's books to give Aspire a proper accounting of what they are owed.
Given Drake's enormous sales success with all four of his studio albums, as well as the commercially sold mixtapes "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" and "What a Time To Be Alive," a collaborative effort with Future, the amount of money Aspire is due to be paid could be substantial.
Cash Money is also currently battling a $51 million breach-of-contract lawsuit by Lil Wayne, who has threatened to leave the company and take both Drake and Nicki Minaj with him.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Chargers are moving to Los Angeles, where they will join the recently relocated Rams in giving the nation's second-largest media market two NFL teams for the first time in decades.
San Diego Chargers President Dean Spanos
Team chairman Dean Spanos made the announcement that the Chargers will relocate to LA for the 2017 season in a letter posted Thursday on the Chargers' Twitter account, which was rebranded as the Los Angeles Chargers.
"San Diego has been our home for 56 years. It will always be part of our identity, and my family and I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for the support and passion our fans have shared with us over the years. But today, we turn the page and begin an exciting new era as the Los Angeles Chargers," Spanos said in the letter.
The Chargers' decision to move comes less than three months after San Diego voters resoundingly rejected a team-sponsored measure asking for $1.15 billion in increased hotel occupancy taxes to help fund a $1.8 billion downtown stadium and convention center.
They're leaving behind a loyal fan base that cheered for Dan Fouts, Charlie Joiner and Kellen Winslow during the Air Coryell years in the 1970s and early 1980s, and for Junior Seau, Stan Humphries and Natrone Means on the Chargers' only Super Bowl team in 1994.
San Diego would become a tenant in the stadium being built in Inglewood for the Rams. Before then, the Chargers will make their temporary home at the 27,000-seat StubHub! Center in Carson.
"The experience for our fans at StubHub Center will be fun and entertaining, and every seat will feel close to the action," said A.G. Spanos, president of business operations for the Chargers. "This is a unique opportunity to see NFL action in such an intimate setting."
Relations have been strained for years between the Chargers, who've sought a big public subsidy to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium, and City Hall, which has been beset by scandals and various economic crises.
Mayor Kevin Faulconer formed a task force in 2015 to try to find a stadium solution, but the Chargers didn't like its recommendation and walked away from negotiations with the city and county. Faulconer recently met with Spanos, and helped cobble together a $375 million package from the city, county and San Diego State, which also plays football at Qualcomm Stadium.
San Diego was given the option to move to LA after NFL owners rejected a proposed shared stadium for the Chargers and the Oakland Raiders in Carson, and accepted the Rams' plans for Inglewood. The owners gave the Chargers and Raiders each an additional $100 million to try to make stadium deals in their home markets.
The NFL's stadium and finance committees met Wednesday for about 3 1/2 hours to discuss relocation of the Chargers and Raiders. The fact-finding meetings mostly centered on the Raiders' plan for a potential move to Las Vegas. No filings for relocation were made; Oakland has until Feb. 15.
