Disgruntled, Lil Wayne called out Birdman and Cash Money Records over the delay of Tha Carter V, his final album. This, along with Birdman apparently replacing Lil Wayne with Young Thug made for a tense situation. But, it also allowed Lil Wayne to get smart and think of an idea.
Tired of the delays and the fighting, Lil Wayne revealed he was releasing an album for free for the fans. This was when The Free Weezy Album was born and Lil Wayne fans became very excited. Fans became even more excited when Lil Wayne joined forces with Jay Z for the album.
Doing his deal with TIDAL, instead of Roc Nation, Lil Wayne joined the streaming service and broke records. Midnight, yesterday, saw Lil Wayne drop the Free Weezy Album and the results are in. Debuting strong, Lil Wayne received 3 million streams during the first 24 hours of the album release.
