(AllHipHop News) Lil Wayne revealed last year that he was ready to break ties with his record label Cash Money. The “Rich As F*ck” rapper later filed a lawsuit against the company for unpaid royalties and record advances. Wayne has now hired Kobalt Neighbouring Rights to collect global royalty revenue on his behalf.
The Kobalt website describes the London-based firm services:
Kobalt’s powerful tracking system compares collection against detailed in-house expectations to ensure all income is correctly accounted.

(AllHipHop News) Most observers knew it was coming. Sony Music CEO Doug Morris confirmed during an interview at the Midem Music Industry Festival that Apple is ready to launch its music streaming service later today. The platform, which has been referred to as Apple Music in the press, will be introduced at the Worldwide Developers Conference event in San Francisco.
The service will provide users an unlimited access to a music catalog for a $10/month subscription. A revamp of iTunes Radio is expected as well. Apple’s latest venture will enter a very competitive streaming marketplace that includes industry leader Spotify as well as Tidal, Pandora, Rapsody, Rdio, Google Play, and SoundCloud.
Apple’s purchase of Beats Electronics in 2014 from Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre was seen as a set-up for today’s move. The Beats buyout also brought the streaming service Beats Music under Apple’s wing.
There have also been reports that Drake and Pharrell Williams are teaming up with Apple to serve as guest DJs for the company’s iTunes Radio. Both performers are scheduled to appear at WWDC. Apple’s Jimmy Iovine reportedly lured Drake away from joining Jay Z, Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, and others as an owner of Tidal.
Kanye West’s upcoming album Swish has been linked to Apple too. The GOOD Music founder’s association with the company has not been confirmed as of press time.
One of the most surprising moments from last night’s Hot 97 Summer Jam was seeing 50 Cent and French Montana on stage together during Chris Brown’s performance. It’s no secret 50 and French have been beefing for a while, so having the New York reps stand in front of that tri-state crowd would seem to be a good sign for NYC.
Except French’s boss may not be too happy about it. See, 50 has been calling out Diddy for over a year, saying he can’t make hot music anymore and claiming his vodka brand Effen is better than Diddy’s Ciroc. Fif even suggested French and Diddy were gay.
It appears Diddy felt some type of way about French showing up with 50 at Summer Jam. He posted a message on IG that said, “Never forget who was there for you when no one else was.”

(AllHipHop News) Hot 97’s Summer Jam concert is known for performers entertaining the crowd by bringing out surprise guests. Chris Brown’s set featured a definite unexpected moment when longtime rivals French Montana and 50 Cent stood on the same stage together.
The G-Unit head and the Coke Boys leader have been in a feud for years. The two New York City rappers threw shots at each other this past March after 50 continued his Instagram assault against French’s Bad Boy boss Diddy.
It appears they have been able to reconcile enough since that time to at least share the same space at MetLife Stadium for Brown’s performance. 50 ran through “What Up Gangsta” and “Many Men.” Followed by French hitting his “Hot N*gga (Remix).”
